Its just happened here again

Chrome, Win 7 dont know what skin, although not sure your adservers are really intelligent enough to deliver based on Skin and or O/S?

The fact is you are once again delivering awful ads for days on end with no resolution apart from to ask people to submit what is largely pointless information when the issue is not with what browser people are using but PH/HM's inability to handle the companies who serve the ads

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.

Is it not possible to modify the layout so that any adverts outside the agreed dimensions appear under the other elements of the page and get clipped? Then a problem advert is their problem, not yours.

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).

IOS 9.3.2 and Safari.

Just started happening to me this morning.

Proper pain, especially given the double post issue when using the back button on iPads.

Still happening here, too. This is from a thread in GG, but amusingly it's also just appeared at the top of this thread.



Very normal HP laptop, Chrome, Win 10, std skin.

Quelle surprise it's not browser or O/S specific and neither is it fixed. Quick ask everyone for their IP address that could delay having to actually fix it for another few hours

I'm not suffering it on my laptop (presumably due to adblock) but I am on my smartphone.

How about a bit of PH detective work (I'm too busy smile ) to find the correct email address to Dacia to ask them to fk right off with their intrusive advert?

I will chase our ad team this morning.

Extra thanks to those who posted screenshots, these are very helpful.

I have been informed that this ad has now been removed from the forums.

Please make a fuss if it comes back smile

Adblocker..... PH out of all the sites I've ever used can't seem to control their adverts. Not sure if it is intentional or incompetence. It's been happening for too long not to be one of them.

Is the 'fix' just to wait for the particular ad' campaign to end, rather than actually do anything to resolve the issue?
