EPTUnacceptable Ads - Page 30
| Forum Index > Website Feedback |
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. | ||

Because of that, I threw NoScript onto Firefox (the same source didn't produce strange SPANs in Chrome) and took another look at the generated source. And in this version, I see onmousedown calls to outbrain.com followed by a huge stack of divs and iframes. The changed section is shown as image, spoilered below: + Show Spoiler [Soup] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/QepMbI3.jpg) This is mostly just a sanity check - what's being served has some odd appearing language in it and links leading to things that concern me. (The Microsoft Surface ads didn't bother me.) | ||

EDIT: I just disabled AdBlock to see if I could report on which ads are causing this problem and it's just about every ad, both at the top right and bottom right. Ads from Mucinex, Samsung, and Mazda. Plus I got a video with audio for something car related as well, voiced by Sam Elliot. It's out of control. It makes the site unusable. Even as I type this, I get major lag in my typing and I randomly lose focus on this textbox so I have to click the textbox so I can keep typing. EDIT2: Just so you're aware of the use case. I typically go to the front page and middle-click all the latest items in the Community News section. That opens multiple tabs. So it's not unusual for me to have five tabs opened while I'm sifting through the news. This, obviously, compounds the problem when each tab has an unusually high amount of processing going on. Hmm, right now I have two tabs open, this one and another one for the front page that I just now opened. Even with AdBlock enabled, I got a video with audio, advertising Cirque Du Soleil with CHASE as a sponsor. HTML for that video: + Show Spoiler + <video id="lkqdadvid120120" webkit-playsinline="webkit-playsinline" playsinline="playsinline" autoplay="autoplay" style="position: relative; top: 0px; left: 0px; display: block; line-height: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; visibility: visible; width: 640px; height: 360px;" src="https://gcdn.2mdn.net/videoplayback/id/4eb58dd6dba54709/itag/344/source/doubleclick_dmm/ratebypass/yes/acao/yes/ip/0.0.0.0/ipbits/0/expire/3623844073/sparams/id,itag,source,ratebypass,acao,ip,ipbits,expire/signature/29B388D32D9B83BBD9CFA5B92778AC9ED8A1F2B2.558860C2D69B0B0D7F1CB9EC8B710255C808AF17/key/ck2/file/file.mp4" width="640" height="360"></video> | ||

+ Show Spoiler + <img src="https://s0.2mdn.net/ads/richmedia/studio/23406897/__version__/1/23406897_20161002234947197_PixelPhone_LockUp_EN_RGB_v1.svg" class="lockup-text" id="lockup-text" style="margin-top: 62px;"> It would be nice if we had a "Report this ad" option below each ad. Then we could easily report bad ads and you could see more real-time trends when ads get out of control. ;-) | ||

+ Show Spoiler + <video id="AVcontent" webkit-playsinline="" muted="" style="width: 100%; height: 100%; display: block; position: absolute; z-index: 0;" src="https://secure-ds.serving-sys.com/BurstingRes/Site-81421/WSFolders/8815347_2/assets/november_jewellery_300x250_logo.mp4"></video> EDIT: My PC is Intel Xeon E3-1240 3.50GHz with 32 GB RAM. So I would not expect this kind of slowdown on a couple videos. But then I don't consider video ads acceptable on any website I visit regardless. Oh, and while typing this, I lost focus five times. Sorry, if I sound salty, but this is very frustrating. | ||

In order to log-in you need teamliquid.net and ajax.googleapis.com. After you have logged in you can deactivate these scripts again and stay logged in as long as you dont delete cookies. To see spoilers you need teamliquid.net but you can deactivate that again after opening the spoiler. Its the only way for me to visit teamliquid at all at the moment. I am browsing from an old and slow computer and the ads completely kill my browser. I get out-of-memory errors and such if I keep the ads enabled. | ||

It's appearing inside the sidebar and it blocks the streamer hyperlinks. Sorry for not responding earlier, I completely forgot to check back if there were questions. | ||
