Following on from the Tudor watches fun, now I get weird popups taking over my browser (Chrome) advertising diamonds and BBC3. Just me? or a new money-making enterprise from STW Towers?

In the last few of days I’ve had a couple of full-screen adverts – Age UK and Volvo cars – only happens when I’ve been viewing STW.

This morning, I’ve just had full-screen BBC3 advertising Zombie Apocalypse and National lottery with a background of diamonds.

I use Firefox on a large-screen desktop PC and I never had a problem with the diver / banking ads.

Have you tried emailing the Mods with screen shots?

I lost my "P" yesterday. I only found when I visited this site, had the stupid Tudor ad take over my screen, I couldn't get rid of it in landscape or portrait. Eventually through opening and closing browsers I managed to get on here without it popping up, when I did my iPad crashed due to all the other crappy adverts on here

Meh

You'll only get them once every 24hrs
They're needed to keep the site going
Buy a subscription you tightwad

Delete as appropriate, other reasons are available.

I got this last night too. And yes, it took me by surprise. I know how that sounds but it's really just the nature of network delivered ads. I will kill it as soon as I find it.

Have you considered a subscription, Mark? It's only £1.49 a month.

Genuine LOLS.

Mark, I could send you a "friends" subscription if you're a bit unsure/broke this month.
