Noisy ads and pop ups!

[Mrs Dragonfly]

What is going on, lately every time I'm on BnB I'm bombarded with ads and pop ups - the noisy ones too! It's frustrating that I have to mute my computer to browse through the forums otherwise there's ads for children's movies and what to pack for a hospital bag. I have a pop up blocker but they make their way through.

I also hate the noisy ads.

I understand that websites need advertising but if you are going to have pop up ads please let there be a way to close out of them. I can never close any of these pop ups and I end up having to refresh the page just to be able to read the forum.

Here is one that is always popping up. It is the ad for Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2.

It first covers the majority of the screen and forces you to watch multiple videos. It starts playing these videos with sound automatically when it pops up. There is no way to stop it and close the ad. I always need to refresh.

It isn't until the videos are done playing that the ad shrinks down and only then does it have an X button in the top left corner for you to close the ad.

That's the exact ad that keeps popping up and being loud on mine too! I just haven't been able to screenshot it yet.

The Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 ad just popped up for me again a minute ago.

Old Navy is giving me chronic pop ups that take up my whole screen and make it impossible to attempt closing out of without leading me to their website.

Triaminic and Old Navy huge pop up ads. No way to close these. Have to refresh.

Thanks... I've sent feedback to the ad team.

This ad should now be removed.

If you have problems in the future finding the close option please make sure your browser is at 100%, smaller may cut off part of the ad where the close option is viewable.


Thanks
