Debenhams wedding advert! Give me a break!

[karl_h]

Just entered the URL to get to the front page and as it loads a FULL page pop appears about a wedding service. No sign of PH, had click to close the add. Initially I thought I'd clicked the wrong link but trying it again and the same thing happened. The adverts on here are getting totally out of hand.

Welcome to Pistonheads : Advertising Matters.

This site is getting stupid. No site I visit is so screwed up with inappropriate adverts and unreliable web function. Anybody want to buy a car and buy a wedding suit at the same time! For pity's sake, get a grip.

[BlackST]

Now I know where to buy a wedding dress for my fiancee!
Thank you very much Pistonheads!

Urghh, fix this issue as it makes the classifieds unusable. I'm getting slide in ads, pop up ads.. feels like a bloody geocities website lol. Why is there adverts in a paid section of the site anyway?

This stupid Debenham ad makes the classifieds unusable. Every screen is the Debenham ad..does no-one carry out any beta testing? If I had paid for an ad I would be pretty angry that the sales site is unusable

I've complained about the ridiculous increase in pop up ads on here, but it's been met by deafening silence from 'the powers that be'.

I don't get them while browsing on my iphone, but despite using Ad Blocker software on my PC, I can't shift 'em.

It looks like Haymarket wants more money.

Glad it's not just me, as others have said the classifieds are unusable.

Search for car type - pop up
Select car to view - pop up
Return to list - pop up

Bored now, shopping elsewhere.

Haymarket are doing a great job of alienating users with totally irrelevant intrusive ads. I have now given up on the classifieds for my next purchase as it's unusable.. i can't imagine people will continue to pay to advertise their cars if no-one else can see them so it seems that Haymarket have shot themselves in the foot

It really is a joke. Have to get rid of the Debenhams ad about 4 times before it will stay away.

No website I go on has all these ridiculous popups that take over the whole screen.

Advertising at it worst and some real website destruction going on.

Jeez that wedding add was annoying this morning when browsing on my mobile! Get rid please!


(but in other news, i might look fabulous in peach?? ;-)

Makes the classifieds unusable. Back to Autotrader!

Big +1 to all above. No way to close it either.

Oh look, another obtrusive ad 'sneaked in over the weekend' by the ad company.

[djfaulkner]

Not just me then - Thought I was hitting something to make it full screen.

Good morning all,

I've had an email from our Ad team this morning regarding this after they saw this thread.

The ad should definitely not have auto expanded, this was caused by incorrect rules being set on the advert, this has now been rectified.

Thanks for highlighting this, it certainly wasn't intentional.

Sorry.
