Site ad issues


Recommended Posts

  • 1 month later...

Hi There,

 

Love the site.

 

I paid for lifetime premium about 10 minutes ago which has removed the ads from the main site. But on the Forums, I get upper banner ads and a video overlay ad in the bottom right hand corner?

 

I would upload a screenshot, but cannot find the button?

 

Thanks,
Scott

To upload a screenshot, post the screenshot somewhere like imgur and then post the correct link (with the jpg/png extension) here.

 

You're not reflecting Premium in the forums yet though, so you might just have to wait for that to reflect for the ads to go away. The blue Member under your name will switch to Premium Member when the forums recognize that status. It takes a little bit for that data to refresh.

Can this be fixed?

 

Elden Ring ad is randomly increasing to triple its size.  The Close X is only on the smallest ribbon, once it's expanded you can't close the ad.

 

You're a premium member, but the ads are still showing up? Make sure to go to your profile on the main site, select your name at the top-right (of the main site, not the forums), then select "Settings", then make sure "show ads" is unchecked, then his "Save".

 

Otherwise it looks like the resolution on your laptop is set very small, may set around 1000 pixels wide, which could be why the ad is appearing much taller than it should :hmm:

I believe he was a regular member just a few hours ago, someone probably gifted him premium membership.

Yeah, I don't know who so I will have to "pay it forward".  I have no issue supporting the site, it's a great place.  Thank you to whoever gifted though.

 

I will say though that ad did the same thing over at trueachievements, I google searched for a specific trophy assistance and the thing started to go huge on my screen there to.  Then after a few seconds it goes back to its small ribbon size.  I think the ad was designed this way, it's just so odd that you can close the ribbon while small yet you can't when it's large.

I've been having an issue with ads still showing up even tho I'm lifetime, the video player pop up but refuses to close even if I click X the add itself isn't bugging me all that much, it's the fact it stops whatever song or podcast I'm listening to so that it can play the ads audio , I've signed in and out a few time and at least once a day I still get it popping up, I have to use adblocker on my phone to stop it

For the very first time since I joined this site in 2013, I am being redirected to Malicious Ads when viewing the site today. It's redirecting me on the same tab removing me from Psnprofiles completely. Please look into this.

Probably localized within your own system.

I've noticed the same thing recently, and PSNP had a very big problem with this about 5 years ago. Probably not just his system.

 

I have Malwarebytes Browser Guard installed and for the past few months I've been getting notifications of it blocking malicious redirects. I only get these notifications while visiting PSNP. @Sly Ripper should be made aware, if he doesn't already know.

FWIW I did recently one time have the page timeout and say it couldn't connect to some image. In the last month or so browsing profiles and game lists has started to bring down my entire internet for a few minutes. I had assumed it was my busted old router trying to load the ads but it's been getting really bad lately.

Mobile site is borderline unusable. I'm not a premium member or anything, so I'm fine with seeing ads. But I can't navigate any page without a full page ad blocking everything. Then I have to refresh, and by the time I find where I was reading, another huge ad destroys the page. Is there something that can be fixed with this?

Yea, the screen blocking ads on mobile are a problem. For me half the time they don't even load properly so I just get these large grey blobs that I can't even hit the x to close.
