Is it just me?
All the Adds on PH's are in Chinese or similar language recently.
I don't like adds at the best of times, but I can't even read these ones!
Have you got a screenshot you can share please? And if there's anything suspect, are you able to copy the URL for the link (but don't click on it)?All the Adds on PH's are in Chinese or similar language recently.

These will be adverts that are being served onto the site programatically through our ad exchange and are clearly not campaigns we've sold to run specifically on PH!

The ad's when surfing used car section is shocking. You can't close the adverts and can't read certain parts. So infuriating.
Do you have an example you can share please? If it's on the search results page, we're in the process of rolling out a new design that'll eliminate some of the ad issues we're currently experiencing there.mickyh7 said:
And as if by Magic....
Chinese adds are gone.
Thank you!
We haven't done anything just yet (we're not that quick Chinese adds are gone.
Thank you!
) to my awareness so if you do see another, can you copy the URL that it wants to take you to please, so that we can block it?Byker28i said:
I get hammering tacks into power sockets... 
This one really needs to be blocked- it is an ad for a fraudulent product called Motex which pretends to reduce your electricity consumption by many %. (Just plug into any socket and see your electricity bill fall- very convincing !)Edited by Byker28i on Thursday 6th January 10:19

Funnily enough I've just been served that very ad myself on this thread, so I've reported it to our team to see if we can block it. Thanks!

But it is indeed on the search results page so I assume you know what I mean. Look forward to the new design, as I usually surf classifieds for a few minutes before getting annoyed and giving up.

Yep pretty sure from other reports we've had. Keen an eye out next week for the new design
