https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a4d3f8a837.png (Above) As can see - there is no way to close this add. It also causes the rest of the page to fail to load - it's just blank white space. ... (Below) I have to wait a long time for the page to finish loading all it's built in adds and then I can scroll back to the thread page I was trying to look at. The add then appears towards the bottom: https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e64cc7f27d.png (Below) As you might see from the horizontal blue progress bar, the website tries to load some more (earlier screenshots indicate the browser thought it had finished loading...but each time I get to the post that I intend to read, the ads in between the earlier posts in the thread start to load and this changes the lenght of the thread, causing me to loose my place). The floating add then changes to become even bigger https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dd709adab9.png (Below) Then it turns into this one (also not able to close): https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ae54a5c20c.png Then eventually after scrolls back yet again to the post I was trying to read I get this floating one appear: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...28b7ffca0f.png Before I can click on the X to close it, the page crashes out: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f40cc951af.png I give up... iPhone 6s iOS 14.4.1 Browser: Safari The site is unusable on iOS 14.4.1 on iPhone X because it gets stuck on that error page. I’m lucky if I can read 2 posts before that occurs - and I can’t get the link to open to post a screenshot. What a bummer, used to visit daily. |
Def not an iOS only issue. My instance is from Android.
This has been raised to you guys for weeks, with several users replicating the annoyance and there's no solution? Get your buddies at AnyClip (https://www.anyclip.com/post/interne...inous-platform) to explain what's happening and fix please |
Sorry guys, I meant to reply earlier, but my home internet has been spotty this week.
Essentially, we can't replicate this. We had multiple people trying on long threads on Android and iOS. Anyclip, while yes, a little annoying, worked as it's supposed to: The video appears, shrinks when you scroll down, and you click the "X" and it disappears. |
Hi Joel, '"working as it's supposed to" and "little annoying" shouldn't be acceptable to you (or your ad partner) when user feedback is:
"turned your site into something similar to the click bait Facebook ad sites" "the perfect way to turn people off" "I give up..." "What a bummer, used to visit daily." If a handful of us have ventured into technical support to raise this, thousands others must be feeling the same way. Genuinely hope you don't accept this as OK. |

It's not video ads we're protesting here - by all means, go video crazy until traffic resumes. It's the way these video ads disrupt/obstruct site content, often can't be closed, glitch up and freeze that we have comments about.
There is a way to do video ads. This is not the way. If you were able to replicate (ask anyclip to give you a demo) what we're experiencing, I'm optimistic you'd get frustrated and come to agree. |

It seems that the video ads automatically force Spotify to pause on my iphone (when playing on a bluetooth connected Sonos). Flyertalk is the only website that causes that. Seriously annoying.

This forum is dead to me, the adds are unbearable. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...09f10f869b.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...409be406f6.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...87c9124936.jpg |
You can X out a few of those ads and the others are static and will just leave your screen as you scroll.

These ads are now hijacking maybe a quarter of all my FT page loads. I'm not having this issue on any other site, so I'm inclined to think the hijacking is at the server end rather than a virus on my phone. |

I'll report these. Thanks guys.
