Hi there

I am getting big Peugeot adverts appearing when I try to access any of the forums. On the iPhone when in mobile pistonheads mode it will not disappear. It says tap to remove which does nothing....
It is preventing me accessing any of the top half of the forums home page and posts in any subsequent topics etc

cheers

Same here! Was going start a topic on this yesterday but could not type in a thread title as this stupid advert covers it. I can't even see my previewed message...

Me too. Makes PH next to useless, trying to use the classified is impossible when the advert covers the pics.

Sorry, is this on the mobile site or main site? Is it still doing it?

On the mobile site, and yes it's still doing it, I remeber the good old days when adverts were kept to a minimum and were at least aimed at the original PH demographic.....makes it even more annoying when it's an advert for a crap car who's only 'special' feature is wker lights!.....

On the mobile site, every couple of clicks as you move between forums. You can't close it, it makes the top of the page unusable as you can't see behind it.

+2 although when it pops open I can appear to close it, but I thought PH didn't have big pop out ads like this anyway

I saw it once, tapped close (or whatever the option was), it went.

I have been using the mobile site quite a bit and haven't seen this advert. I am wondering whether it is against a specific forum content, so if you see it could you let me know which forum it is in.

The adverts on the mobile site are run by an outsourced company so I will need to be fully informed and get a screen shot before approaching them.

Sorry about this, I will try and get it sorted ASAP

It appeared for me on the main Gassing Station page as soon I tapped on Forum, so over the top of the forum listing.

Is it still happening as I have sat here refreshing pages across the site and only see the Natwest advert?

I've just had a look. The advert is still there and I can open it and close it. I suspect for some time around the OPs complain it was already open?
Seems to be fine now.

For me I may have caught it in the old "scroll down while the screen is still loading then the page pops back up the top just as I try and tap a forum accidentally tapping the wrong thing" problem.

I can only get the Barclays one now

My only gripe with it was if you clicked it, it expands to cover a lot of the screen, its quite easy to click these ads on the iPhone as it is right above My Stuff and I have big ape like hands

If I see it again I'll do some screengrabs

No idea if these help.....





It's a random thing but it's at least 50% of the time, if I load PH mobile on my ipod touch and go to forums if the Peugeot advert appears I'm doomed, (sometimes it's a Vodaphone or Natwest ad, they are fine). without touching anything after a few secounds it opens and fills the screen, all the links from the ad work except the tap to close, so once it's there it's there until I leave the forums. smash
It doesn't matter which of the crappy hatchbacks are in the ad it all reacts exactly the same.

And while I'm moaning about it in the 308 ad which is currently filling my screen how can a car have 'sport rear bumpers' that would imply it has more than one bumper at the rear..... confused

Can you not tap to close it? The tap area covers the car image top left.

No, you can tap it, it flashes to say you've tapped it but just stays there covering most of the page......
