Banner Adverts - Changes
The company that has been providing our banner ads (Switch Concepts) has gone into administration so I have moved to Snack Media who specialise in online advertising to Sports fans. You will thus see some changes with the banner ads (and the GDPR consent).

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
Any chance you can put in a placeholder for the ads before they get loaded, to stop the page jumping around?

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
I've got a huge advert at the top of the screen and a huge advert at the bottom of the screen.

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
I'll see what can be done about a placeholder and the centralised text when the square ad is displayed on a mobile.
Any further issues please let me know the specifics incl what browser and device you're using.

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
Do we really need them at the top AND bottom of the page? Virtually no space in the middle.....

The site is practically unusable today because of the adverts.

OK, Brazil play Uruguay at the Emirates on Friday, I get it... don’t need it popping up covering the bottom of every thread I click on!

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
Large ads are occupying a quarter of the screen and appearing on top of Fiso editorial, posts etc, making the site unreadable. I clicked on Ad Choices and chose never show these adverts, but ads obscuring Fiso editorial are still appearing. I'm using a desktop computer with firefox.
I've no problem with ads appearing on Fiso, but not if they obliterate everything else!

I'll test with Firefox on my laptop tomorrow. The banner ad code is not working correctly on FISO yet and hope to sort it tomorrow.

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
I've tested with Firefox on my laptop and the larger ads stay in there place above the 'View Latest: etc' link. Are you still finding the ad interferes with the forum content?Billy Whiz wrote: ↑14 Nov 2018, 22:47 Large ads are occupying a quarter of the screen and appearing on top of Fiso editorial, posts etc, making the site unreadable.

It's defintely a problem on mobiles and I'm looking into how to resolve this.

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
Still huge on iPad, two giant flat caps obstructing the current posting box... and sodding Brazil v Uruguay still at the foot of every page.

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
Tapatalk on my phone is thankfully unchanged and fully useable. Ads are annoying but predictable and consistent from being placed using professional well thought out and implemented software. Unlike the current mess on my PC.

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
Is that on Safari? Is it still a problem after clearing your browser cache? Please confirm and I'll test tomorrow on an iPad.

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
Still problematic on my iPad as well
Brazil Uruguay now a turn off not a promotion
Up top here’s an example screen grab showing how the top ad covers all the options

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
Here’s mine on iPad using Safari. The ad is way too wide for the screen, and also covers the top Few topics.

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
This footer banner is awful, can we have it laced into threads as a break instead?

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
Just curious but do the ads actually bring in any revenue for FISO? if not, why not simply have an ad free site seeing as at present they are quite problematic for a number of users?

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
They do but unsure how much it will be under the new ad provider, Snack Media, who also say they will provide content services to fiso as well. Aim is to sort the ad display problems one by one following the change in ad code.

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
The big bustard at the top seems to have gone... still get the annoying pop-up one at the bottom of the screen.

Have tested using latest Chrome on my Windows 10 laptop and adverts behaving correctly.

Re: Banner Adverts - Changes
The top advert covers all the left hand text from 'view' down towards where the time is. It also covers the very top thread i.e when using the latest topics, the very first one in latest topics. There is no X to make it disappear.admin wrote: ↑16 Nov 2018, 18:02In what way 'awful?Dennisthemenace wrote: ↑16 Nov 2018, 17:03 Still awful on my laptop - Chrome.

Have tested using latest Chrome on my Windows 10 laptop and adverts behaving correctly.
The bottom advert has an X which when clicked, doesn't make it disappear. I have to press the second X to make it disappear.
When I switch to the next page, both adverts are back again.
Basically the same as the ajcairns and BSpittles' screenshots above
