I’ve just scrolled all down this page and seen three ads, an equity release one in a_a’s post, a subscription ad for the mag in scotroutes post, and one for cycle workshops below the comments box. I never see a row of ads down the edge of the page anymore, at least when I’m looking at a thread, the text goes full-width on my pad’s screen, and I honestly haven’t seen a pop-up or had a re-direct in maybe eighteen months, to two years, if not longer, back when those bloody Tudor Watch and Maserati ads used to cover the whole sodding screen. I’m at a loss to explain why so many are having these problems, when I never do, and perhaps those working behind the scenes are having similar issues trying to sort out why some are affected, and others aren’t. It does seem to be predominantly an Android/Chrome issue, but I could be wrong there.
[edit] Just had a go at opening STW in the DuckDuckGo app, and now, looking at this page I only see one ad, which is the one below the comments box, I don’t even see the ones that appear in people’s posts. I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine within Safari, in iOS, but I never use my Mac for looking at this site, so maybe those having issues could try DuckDuckGo as an experiment to see what happens, certainly all my forme issues stopped after I changed my default search engine from Google to DuckDuckGo.
