Advertisements

[Dryden]

Hotels.com and their ads can goto hell. One page load in three gives me an ad that is pinned to top of the viewport and I cannot scroll away from it.

Also, it seems that the ads pull perpertually (auto-refresh?), so if I stay on any page long enough, it'll eventually pull an ad that does it.

Is this also in the right side 300x250?

 

[Dryden]

Yes. Right side 300x250 occurs maybe one page load in three or four. Getting pinned to the top or bottom on the 728x90 was occuring maybe one time in four or five.

Thanks, it should go away soon.

Are the John Deere's still a problem?

I am good right now.

Had the john deere ad do it this morning but not yet this evening. I'll report back if it starts again.

 

[Saw31]

The John Deere ad just did it to me again. But at least this time it only played once. So once it was over, I could scroll again.

Spoke too soon, now some ad from Best (? looks like electronics ad maybe) is auto playing and doing it.

I'm gonna try loading wayfair and see if that changes things.

 

[Saw31]

Loading wayfair.com has changed the ads I'm getting. That seems to have fixed things for now. Thank you @Clarity.

 

[Saw31]

Nope. Now its the Best ad that's auto playing over and over. Fuck.

 

[Dryden]

Just happened again. T-Mobile ad on the left, Marzetti dressing ad on the right. Marzetti ad auto-plays with audio, ends, loads a blip of Hotels.com ad, then loops back to the Marzetti dressing ad again.

Shockwave plugin crashes Chrome everytime I try to type response on any page. If I am on any page for longer than two minutes something either hijacks the browser or a run-away routine ties up the CPU and crashes.

Don't know what to say. BP is basically broken and unusable like this.

 

[Dryden]

Only workaround is to run Disconnect, but that also kills all cross site scripting, so I can't see any Instagram/YouTube/Twitter embeds with that on.

 

[Saw31]

Its an America's Greatest Makers ad doing it to me now. Its not as bad as the John Deere ads because it releases me after it runs.

 

[Saw31]

Have to agree with @Dryden, BP is broke right now for at least some of us. It is better then a couple days ago, but not good. Firefox not responding then sending me to the top of the page every couple seconds for an auto play ad.

Toyota ad doing it now. Same placement as the others.
