yes

and in my case (OSX Safari) I can't even get rid of the bloody advert in order to sign on. I ended up clicking on the forgotten password link, then clicking backwards to the login page.

We haven't seen this. A screenshot would help.

It doesn't look like there's been a reply to your request, on the thread at least, so here's a screenshot showing how the offending advert pops up before you've had chance to type in any ID or PW details to log in to PH.

No? You don't like that? We really thought you would. Damn.


Yeah, that's obviously a bug. We'll get it fixed for you next week. Thank you for the screen shot. smile

Please do. It's extremely annoying:



Sort your media strategy out. There is no need for this.

EFA and apologies to MC for the edit.

And by strategy I mean:

  • Mobile site and accessibility via ipad/iphone/etc devices
  • Adverts
  • Flaws in classifieds
etc

Sorry mods, but PH looks a bit tired recently. I'm a big fan, but some spring cleaning is needed.

Sort it out peeps.

Extremely annoying and completely against any principle I know of how to place advertising ethically, with no evident facility to shut it it off.

I've only 20 years experience in the business...

Moreover I can feel my Data Protection / Privacy / Lawyer Finger getting itchy...

Matt did say it would be fixed next week - unless my understanding of "next week" is completely incorrect that's probably why it's still doing it wink
