Giant Ads Taking Up Entire Page on PC Again

Overnight development…FYI. Going between topics causes the same thing. Ugh.

Agreed, annoying, but you can scroll down & they disappear… Until the next one :confounded:

It’s not the ad that bothers me it’s the bouncing arrow. It bothers my eyes enough to trigger a headache even with that small exposure.

What I find most interesting is, in this case, when I hit the ad by accident the new tab that opens gives me an error and does not take me to the product page.

Not sure if this is the new ad that you guys are referencing but it’s impossible for me to read threads again…

I sent a note to the advertising department to look into the format of that ad.

Thanks for the heads up!

Coke is certainly getting their monies worth out of those jump standards in the Tryon ad that we have to scroll past now.

I had to go back and look to see what the ad was for, but have no problem remembering the huge coke bottle part.

Was hoping this would be fixed by now…still giant ads, so annoying. Sigh.

Don’t they realize that it works in reverse - totally mentally block out seeing any ad at all now.

Can we get this fixed? Fills up the entire page of my laptop. It was fixed once before.

Thanks!

Are you able to scroll past it, or is it static and unable to be closed?

Scroll past it, but every time I change topics, there it is again. Was the coke bottles yesterday and for a while. I can see I am not the only one from various comments…

Now it’s this. Notice the down arrow. It would be best if it was a static header…

I’m getting the same thing and it is REALLY annoying.

Right. If you even breathe on it, the link takes you to the company ad.

This. Just look at it and goes to the ad, it’s getting so much worse and the are taking up over half the page and the arrow jumps which is super irritating.

I HATE it! It’s the most annoying onsite ad banner I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t mind scrolling past it the first time I come to the site, but having to see it every single time I switch pages is super annoying.

As the head of an ad agency, I would never implement banner ads in this way. At least stop it appearing if people are not new on the site in the last 30 mins.

It’s not an error, the ad is designed to pop up and be scrolled past every. single. time.

It can be changed…

I would think that as far as pulling metrics goes, a company would want the number of honest clicks vs a bunch of oopsie ones…but what do I know.
