Ray Vonn Posted March 3, 2022 Share #9 Posted March 3, 2022 Glad this thread came up. Don't really want to be greeted by Nigel Farage's grinning face on one of those adverts everytime I go into the home page which was the case as of yesterday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith (M) Posted March 4, 2022 Author Share #10 Posted March 4, 2022 @LUF Admin Hmm, still happening - this time an ad for the competition (a Nikon dealer!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 4, 2022 Share #11 Posted March 4, 2022 I have just had an ad for car gap insurance, because that's what I was looking for at lunchtime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 4, 2022 Share #12 Posted March 4, 2022 @LUF Admin I am now also getting a footer advert for Adobe, despite being a premium member. There is more to be done here, I am afraid.

wlaidlaw Posted March 4, 2022 Share #13 Posted March 4, 2022 It is not as bad as some advert banners covering half a page and when you click on the close box X, instead of closing, it takes you to their scuzzy scamming page. Social media should ban advertisers permanently who do this. I am sure it contravenes the terms and conditions that the advertisers agree to when joining these media. The other thing I particularly abhor is on otherwise very respectable websites like BBC News. When you access this from outside the UK, even if you sign in, there is not just loads of advertising, which I sort of understand to fund an otherwise free news resource but also loads of scammers, crypto thieves and click-bait monkeys are paying the BBC to be allowed to advertise on their sites. Are these really the sort of folk who the BBC wants to be associated with. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 4, 2022 Share #14 Posted March 4, 2022 The adverts are probably fed from some sort of agency or agglomerated source, as I am sure that the BBC wouldn't have much truck with scammers, thieves and monkeys. Well... leave that thought with me for a while 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted March 4, 2022 Share #15 Posted March 4, 2022 Sorry for that. Just had a tough talk with my advertisement provider… Andreas 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First click to open the forum today (just now) resulted in another Oppo Mobile advert. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc B-C Posted March 7, 2022 Share #19 Posted March 7, 2022 Just happened to me for the first time. I clicked on the M11 pictures thread. Interestingly the advert that came up was in German, although I am UK based Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted March 7, 2022 Share #20 Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) When I clicked on this thread for the first time about half an hour ago, I had the add as well. But now I don't see any adds anymore whenever I move around in the Forum. Perhaps the issue can be solved by a simple reload of the browser. Edit: Sorry, but after I signed out and in again I had the adds again. Edited March 7, 2022 by UliWer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
