It only seems to happen on the VW ad!
There seems to be no way to close or remove it

Yep, it didn't load properly but still stopped me from clicking any of the top links. Come on guys, please at least try and test these things before you load them in....

Agreed huge ad that prevents me from clicking any links at the top of the page and there isn't even any way to close the add as far as I can see. Seriously PH, I know you have to make money but this is getting a bit too much now. I get enough hard sell from other sites I visit, I don't really need it on my favourite motoring forum and it won't be staying my favourite for long if this keeps up.

Thought I'd turn my adblocker off for PH as it's a site I use a lot and I wanted to support it. This is how I was rewarded...



Straight back on. Your tech and marketing team are an absolute joke

Looking at the advert, I think its meant to be that size, otherwise the layout of it wouldn't fit in the box the same size as all other ads.
If that is the case then its a bit of a piss take to knowingly allow adverts that make the site unusable

How many consultations and emails does it take to block a specific ad? Takes seconds to do.

I'm getting this annoying ad too - I do not, nor will ever want a VW Golf 1.2, no matter how much screen real estate the ad has!

Yep, that awful ad is back, and this time, it's on all the pages I click into, covering half of my user panel buttons!

It wouldn't be so bad if it was advertising a car somebody wanted to buy, but VW in the current climate. This just makes me hate them even more.
