Annoying Adverts

Thu May 10, 2007 7:16 pm

I have started getting adverts at the top of the screen, usually for Spiderman 3 or Zwinky, that are so big, they cover the links.
Also, I f I click on the Spiderman 3 banner ad, I get a new window saying Game placeholder, this game doesn't exist.

Has anyone else had this?

No, I adblocked all my ads

Same problem. I had the whole space blocked on the old layout so individual ads weren't. On the new layout ads galore. They stop you from using the menu bar. :x

Edit: OH and I have events at the top.. I can see them, but can't click the link. So annoying!

The CSS blocking isn't always working, though I think I might be able to get around by manually blocking ads.

Woot, I've never had that problem. Although the drop down menu doesn't work properly when the Neopia Central link bar is showing.

I haven't had any of those, but the ones that are annoying are the ones that make noise. I got one for the iPhone today saying I had won one, which is pretty creepy when you start hearing a womans voice saying you've won something.

What's more annoying is the popup that tells me my opinion matters. I'm using Firefox, and I can block all the ads, but certain flash games and embedded flash content (like Test Your Strength and the Neopian globe) won't work.

For some reason since the other day I get a big black empty ad at the bottom that I can't get rid of :x
