Much as I get the fact a "free" needs ad revenue, I'm not surprised I read of so many people using ad-blockers as this bloody thing just keeps appearing.

Some ads are only targeted to a type of device. Skin is unlikely to matter but may affect advert placement.

For us, having these extra details makes it easier to reproduce, which helps us in fixing the issue.
I'm using OS X with a totally unmodified Google Chrome though it seems to no longer be doing it for me (which would make sense as it was four days back that I reported the issue).

As of today Pistonheads also seems to be trying to serve me up with something as a pop-up which Chrome is blocking.

Not to sound like a complacent Mac owner but I'm using a Mac so I very much doubt I've got some kind of underlying malware or browser issue.

I installed uBlock Origin yesterday.

I don't mind ads as I get that "free" actually costs money, but it's clear the folks running the place simply don't have any kind of grip on what ads are being served up which concerns me.

That's not the point though is it, it's not about complaining as such, just reporting a fault with the site in website feedback. If people don't "complain" then PH won't have clue something is wrong or how many it is effecting... Plus I would imagine a fair few on here are accessing this forum at work so may not be able to install ad block on company pc's

Kind of helps if someone from PH is actually reading Website Feedback though.

When did I start the thread?
