CBR Ads Out of Control

[Shawn Hopkins]

Current ad is keeping me from posting a new thread on Chrome. Just covers everything up with a blue box.

Would like to confirm that the current Valiant ad is blocking the notices and breadcrumbs on IE 11. Have sent screenshot to jonah@comicbookresources.com. I think it is a transparency setting that is off.

Have also sent a screenshot to jonah@comicbookresources.com about the blue box.
It looks to me like its affecting a lot of us here using the forums.
My browsers are Firefox and SeaMonkey.

the valiant ad seems to screw up the formatting of the whole forum. nevermind the irritating video that'll appear and reformats the page and once you scroll down it'll just disappear and reformats the page again.

Can log in now, but can't change settings or post new topics as the blue blank box covers everything up.

Oddly enough, I have no problems in THIS thread, but over on Rumbles I can't even post thanks to the ad just swamping the page. Quick reply OR advanced.

[Conn Seanery]

The problem's been reported, hopefully we'll get it fixed soon.

[Sharpandpointies]

Thanks, Conn. :)

Is sending an email to jonah@comicbookresources.com still the way to go since Jonah sold the site? I understand Jonah may be still around during the transition, but at some time he'll been gone.

Would using the Contact Us page be better?

Yeah, that's the better option now.

I'm having the same issues as everyone else particularly when on my kindle or my tablet. On both of those the ad ties up my system for to long and the site times out or if it lets me on at all it moves really slowly, like dial up internet slow. It doesn't happen on any other site I go to on either device and there is nothing wrong with my internet speed either. Seems less intrusive on my PC but still annoying enough there as well.

I can't see a poll (for Image book of the week) to actually vote.
I saw the poll for a moment, then it was just swallowed up by a big light blue space.

When I use my iPhone sometimes an ad will pop up and I have no way of getting rid of it without closing the browser window. Even if I push the X to close the ad either another window that looks really virus-like opens or it tries to open something in the app store. It forces me to close the browser window and I lose the page that I was trying to visit. It's really a pain in the butt because it happens very often.

That huge allergy ad with the woman with the swollen face scared the living **** out of me. And it started well after the Ghostbuster commercial I was watching had started, so I had to go dismiss the ad and restart the video. I don't think that's the right order of events, the ad should come before the video.

I use ad block and have no issues here or on most websites. It really is worth using and they have standards to allow non intrusive advertising to help support websites you frequent. I know they need to make cash to survive. It's just that when the ads overwhelm the content no one wins.
