Sounds like you need to learn about ad-blockers.

Either that, or switch to the classic version of the site?

One or the other or both will resolve it. I've yet to see the ad you refer to, or any ads at all for that matter...

Thanks for the report. We actually don't allow ads like that so it must have slipped through. i've moved your thread to the site issues forum and notified the ad team so they can look to squash it.

Does no one care...its still happening...just now. I just totally inconsiderate of you to take up the lower two inches of my screen.

Management needs to get a grip, before they lose customers. I'm not going to keep looking at this site if I have to keep clicking on buttons because an advert is taking over my screen!!

I get how annoying it is and sorry it's still popping up but they are trying. Someone on staff just got it again and reported it like half an hr ago. They've blocked what they can with each report but apparently this one is more slippery so harder to permanently squash.

edit:
also, if you can get a screenshot or click string it may help them track it (them) down more easily.

Here are the directions if you'd like to try to get a click string: https://support.google.com/admana...er/6161675 . Both of those things (but especially the click string) can help the ad team track down and remove that ad from the rotation.

Please feel free to share either of those things here or if it's easier, in an email to [email protected]

Yours is the only site I have ever visited where an advert is hi-jacking my screen. It is random....It actually popped up a minute ago on this forum page...I thought I did a screen capture but must have hit the wrong button. I tried to identifiy it in the debugger, but couldn't. This advert doesn't have the normal button to report it....it only has a Arrow to minimize....but it still takes up an inch, then an exit. Sometimes it double layered. It takes you to the following site....I clicked it, perhaps it will show up in your advert history....https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/8...d_source=7

Thanks for this and for the report below this one too. The team tried another fix yesterday, but it seems like that didn't work. They just tried blocking it another way. Please let us know if you see this again.

Thanks again for working with us and trying to help us stop this issue from happening.

Yikes. We definitely don't want you to have to do that.

Can you please let us know when you last saw this ad?

Just as a heads up, I just got it again and reported it to our ad team. They've been trying to squash this thing but it keeps coming back.

The add is still popping up? Do you need to contract a specialist?

We know that this ad is really annoying. The ad team has tried many different fixes and blocks, but it still seems to be getting around them somehow. They are still trying to figure out the root cause.
Thanks for trying to get more information. Unfortunately, the info captured in your screenshot looks like its for a different ad.
If you see this again, can you please try clicking on the little icon in the corner of the ad to report it, or right clicking on the ad and copy/pasting the URL it gives here?

I'm using chrome. Is your dev team not get this advert to pop up on their computers?

Honestly...I don't think you guys are trying very hard. I would guess that your site has been hacked. I suggest you hire some hackers to help you figure it out.
