Where did this come from?

I know haymarket needs to generate cash but why do I now have to download 3 huge images at the bottom of every page trying to sell me st that no one wants?

[Parsnip]

Just noticed this. Its a bit OTT and the kind of thing that pushes people to install ad blockers.

Get rid unless you want the forums to look like a crappy clickbait website.

[Jimi.K.]

It's a real shame Haymarket have had to resort to this. Surely pistonheads has enough traffic to sell proper ad slots to genuine advertisers?

[pidsy]

It looks like the daily mail website.


Utter ste.

Ad blocker is not screening it.

And there was me believing Haymarket had stopped making changes to the forum.

Being constructively critical, could it be moved below the whats new/my stuff etc. links at the page bottom?

and

[Its Just Adz]

Who signed off on that??

Looks cheap and tacky.

Which adblocker?
uBlock Origin on Chrome has let nothing new through today, lately or ever.

This has prompted me to install adblock on my work pc for edge.

I’ve got adblocknplus and these massive three photos of sheds and insurance and other rubbish are on every page.

It’s so clumsy on a mobile device. Totally puts me off any company advertising or sponsoring.

I can’t even take a screenshot to show you as it’s too big ugly and cumbersome.

[Tyre Smoke]

This is dreadful.

I could live with the odd advert on posts, although this is becoming too frequent.

Sort it out Haymarket!

I have ABP and it was showing the sponsored content. A wee look in the options and there is a box for "allow acceptable ads" I unchecked that and the sponsored content went away

[Tyre Smoke]

Just downloaded Adblocker plus for Firefox.

That's cleared it all up nicely.

How to drive people away in one easy lesson. Who the hell thought this was a good idea?

You seem the think that the forums matter to the powers that be, did you not see the post stating that no more dev work was being done unless the site breaks and that resource was being slashed?

[pidsy]

its not so bad on the desktop. huge and completely OT on mobile.

Thanks for this.

I was able to adjust my AdBlock settings to block it, all better now.
