Yep. Completely annoying.

Log into FT and you will not see it.

Not a fix. This ad is incredibly obnoxious and needs to go. Takes FOREVER to load, even on a very fast internet connection, and you can't click on anything (or log in).

When you log in, click "remember me" and be sure cookies are enabled. You won't have to log in every time -- you'll be logged in automatically and you will not see the ad.

Except that doesn't work with private browsing and the site used to work without logging in.

Ibobi, im getting redirecting ads again, UK mobile network only on iphone 5s - both mobile site and full site accessed from mobile device. Same sort of url as game of war. It is on and off but i have noticed it a few times the last couple of days again.

Note the threads affected just happen to have an advert from our old friendsr when the redirect happens so I suspect this is the ad doing it:

Timed the Choice Hotels Ad..
 
*34 seconds* of locking the site out while it loads. Unacceptable. And it happens multiple times (and no, logging in isn't a fix). Whatever revenue that's bringing is, you're losing site visitor engagement and goodwill in my opinion.

Am seeing both of these, probably one in every three threads I try to open ln average, but often three or four times in a row. Quite annoying....

That ad does not take that long to load. It is likely a browser issue on your end.

Regardless, if you log in, you will not see it at all.

Extremely annoying Choice popover ads on FT
 
These frequent intrusive adds have only convinced me to not book a Choice hotel in the forseeable future.

I'll move this along to the Tech Issues forum for Internet Brands to review.

Choice Hotel popup Interfering with Flyer Talk Boards
 
On my I phone as of late I am trying to view posts on various airline boards and The Choice Hotel add keeps popping up covering the boards. Anyone else having the same issue.

SanDiego1K Apr 20, 2016 12:14 pm

I'm going to move this to the Tech Issues forum so that the IB tech folk see it.

Perhaps Choice Hotels Reputation Management would be able to resolve this for us?
