Our ad policy does not permit auto playing audio or auto expanding ads. To report an ad, follow these steps: 1. Right click the ad (or just below if you can't right click it) and choose "Inspect" (img) 2. In the dev tools window, scroll up so that as much of the code before the highlighted line is visible (img). Expand any collapsed lines if necessary. 3. Link a screenshot of the ad, a description of the problem and a screenshot of the dev tools window in this thread. | ||

Ad tag: TF_INT. is the ad tag on the current page, displaying the rollover ad that is displayed on almost every single TL page. I understand these sorts of ads are probably better for TL, and only popup when scrolled over, but I have a pretty glaring issue with them. Even if I'm not on the TL page (i.e. on another tab with TL open), if I leave my cursor over the same space where the ad is present in the TL tab, the ad will popup and start playing whatever video associated in the TL tab. This can be pretty frustrating. I do have adblock, but whitelist twitch/TL/own3d/mlg/etc etc, I am just hoping that maybe there is a fix to this so I don't have to keep dealing with popup videos unexpectedly. | ||

That was my assumption as well, I'm on chrome at the moment, I've just tried it once again. I have inconsistent results in replication, but I am able to replicate at a reasonable rate. Maybe it's something wrong with how I've set up something on my end? e: Version 23.0.1271.97 chrome. | ||

The browser than seems to register your cursor as still being over the ad and it opens a few seconds after you've changed tabs. That's definitely a possibility, but it would have to be a pretty huge delay in registering, over a minute sometimes. | ||

This ad started showing up yesterday, and only on my iPad. Couldn't upload an image from my iPad unfortunately, but it is a pink, pop-up advertisement along the bottom of my screen for mobilicity offering 50% off a phone deal. It appears every time a page loads, forcing me to close it, as the ad stays on the bottom of my screen as I scroll. I haven't had any issues with pop-ups on TL before, I assume this is unintentional. Again, I have only been having this issue on the my iPad, TL is all well and good on the PC. Edit: ad appears on my iPhone as well now. | ||

It doesn't seem like something that would happen much, but I've had it popup at least a couple of times every day. EDIT: Has happened twice since I made this post :X | ||

I just blocked: criteo.com tribalfusion.com exponential.com quantserve.com on TL. And for now the ads have stopped rolling in. Will report if it doesn't stay that way. I really don't want to block anything TL-related, but this is driving me crazy. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1EfVt.jpg) Is this intended? I might have hovered over the ad-bar but I did certainly not click anything. It's super anoying since it has sound enabled and covers the rest of the site... | ||

This is because you hovered your mouse for 3 seconds over the ad where it says "roll over to view". | ||
