Adverts

Never had ads on forum before. Suddenly on tablet and phone, ads by Google are appearing at the bottom of screen. Anyone else getting them or has Admin signed up for them?

Just looked on mine no adverts in web version or tablet version

Hi  

Seems a bit odd, I haven't seen any yet!

No. I'm feeling left out! 

Same here no adverts on Apple Safari, are you on apple or android whether that makes a difference.
Get "you may also like" at the bottom of the email notifications.

Both phone and tablet are android . Googled how to stop them and found its all under settings 'google' and found all ad companies switched on. All switched off now so will wait and see.
Edit - made no difference, still appearing.

Just checked other forums and this is the only one where ads are appearing.

This is the only forum I use where I have my Adblock Plus switched off. No Ads.

I didn't have but tried my phone just now and suddenly police auctions came up. Now combi boilers. You are right. Bl___y nuisance. Not on my computer though.

There is a virus called adware which does this on an infected windoze machine. Don't know if it affects Android though

I have suddenly got pop up adverts on this site and no others as far as I can see. Try as I might I cannot seem to remove them. Any advise.

No ads here on the pc but I have noticed at the bottom of the screen on the ipad but not just in Safari.    I have a Windows Tablet here at the moment will have a look at that before its returned to its owner

I’m getting them on an Apple device but not on my PC, yet anyway!!

Just checked my Android device and there's  adverts there as well

Just an aside, I use this:

No need to root.

l didn't think I had them but I have just scrolled quickly to a point far below where I usually venture and there is an advert. Obviously targeted as I would love a patio & conservatory. I have yet to find one for a second floor flat.

So they have, thank goodness!

No. Just had another check Paul, and there's nothing unusual on the PC using Chrome.

I rarely use the tablet, so can't comment on that.

They've now stopped Dave.

And mine have now gone.

Thankfully so have mine.

Sorry for not seeing this sooner, this is one of the features we have to pay for both for members and separately guests viewing the forum. Hopefully no one is still seeing Ad's any longer.
