    Agreed! All of these ads that follow you up and down the page are incredibly annoying.

    I hear road.cc are going to revamp their site soon. If they made their forums more user friendly, ads like the ones mentioned above could drive members away from this place.

    Here you go, not sure a picture really shows the full effect though but you get the idea, the stuff at the side follows you down the screen and makes it jump all over the show.

    Already had the same from Bupa and Holiday Inn this morning :evil:

    This is on a PC with 'that' software installed!

    On the iPad the screen becomes so small it's almost unusable :roll:

    Really frustrating the way they slow up the loading of the page too. You have your eyes focussed on where you want to click, your cursor poised and then the stupid page shifts down a few inches to accommodate the ad.

    Quite, the ads are bloody irritating when viewing through Windows when you start scrolling down the ads finally catch up and load up readjusting the page and thus move the page to resize making your scrolling a wasted effort.

    Get rid of these giant ads!

    Is that the one that presents a giant pop up that coves virtually all of the open broswer window.

    Yes, that's the worst so far. I thought I'd been hit by some malicious code, it's so bad.

    I think they're designed to work that way to make you take notice/click

    I'll pass this onto the ads team

    Sure, but you've got to balance the increased revenue you make through selling such invasive advertising opportunities and the number of members they drive away. I'm spending a lot less time here because of them.

    Yeah, the build of the website with these adverts is terrible.

    Never seen an ad on this site yet. The usual precautions of running advertisement blocking software and no scripting tool gets rid of just about all ads on every site (especially if you don't allow any scripts from any site with "google" in it).

    Android **Nobody likes ads except those making money out of them however please take the opportunity to whine about them** works well. Maybe I shouldn't tell anyone in case they try to get round it!
