checking random airline boards a few minutes ago, I saw that same ad in **ALL** of them; also a "Top Credit Card Redemptions" ad on the AmEx and Chase boards
again, I understand the advertising business model, but this implementation really detracts from the value of the site as a whole

Scum on FlyerTalk email
I got an email from FlyerTalk and the ad in the email lead to a fake news site and then I didn't dare to click any further.
These fake "Antti Herlin tells how to get rich on on-line trading" - sites just make me sick. Now I was outmost disappointed to find FT using the same scum.
It is obvious that all these "free" services need some sources of funding, but the use of fraudulent news is too much. This is very close to selling stolen credit card numbers, drugs or any other forbidden material. And all of us using the sites earning their funds with frauds silently accepts this... just what happend in the 30's in Germany.
if someone know how to get the attention of FT Mgmt, please do so.
And this is the fake news is was referring to
This is the ad in the email I got
I will follow this conversation and if I don't see any change, I'll get out. I'll do my own little share by not accepting on-line fraud positive activities.

In the https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tech...-feedback-386/ section there are threads where disruptive ads can be reported. I assume complaints about other ads can be reported somewhere there.
Users like IBJoel and IBobi are linked to the owner/management, they can likely be contacted too.

I'll speak with our business team, but it looks like this is just a regular ad that was filled by a 3rd party. I checked the one I received and I just got an ad about face masks fogging glasses. Likely you got an ad based on geotargeting or search history.

Is anything being done about the AnyClip ads? Video is bad as it is...but hovering over content (and then continuing to hover after scrolling) makes mobile surfing unbearable.

Hi IBJoel - 1. starts as full size on first instance (forget the fact there are two ads one above the other). 2. as you scroll past it, minimizes and overlaps content. 3. as you scroll on, stays on screen position and covers content.
Been mentioned few posts back as well - really disruptive. Can share more screens if needed.

it has turned your site into something similar to the click bait Facebook ad sites that give you 10 pieces of information over 10 pages with 100 ads on the page l.

I continue to scroll to try to get back to the last page in the thread to make this very post and guess what...a new one pops up and gets in the way.
...I give up and send screenshots to my laptop.
Yesterday the same issues caused my Safari browser webpage to crash. I had to keep reloading to get back to the first page in the thread...and then crash as I tried to get back to the last page in the thread.
Gave up in the end - the thread is no longer readable.
Add initial appears at the bottom
Then Floats up to cover the thread - here all you can see are two different adds, the floating one and the in-thread one. Together they hide the discussion content. As can see - there is no way to close this video. Only if I continue to scroll fast to run away from it.
The Video follows me though - now it has an x- to close it. So I close it..

This happens on every thread I am in - in other words - I can no longer read any threads on FT!

(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:
(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
(Below) Then it turns into this one (also not able to close):
Then eventually after scrolls back yet again to the post I was trying to read I get this floating one appear:
Before I can click on the X to close it, the page crashes out:
I give up...
