Hi, fellows. I appreciate the fact that the site needs to make revenue, but I really don't like the new overlays that keep appearing over the screenshots and such in the news posts. The interstital ads sprinkled throughout the text are bad enough, but they aren't as disruptive as the image overlays. I hope you'll reconsider using the overlays. I had to close several of them for just a single article (with multiple screenshots).

Thank you,

Skwerl

Yeah sorry, I have escalated this as a priority request. They have said they aren't responsible but I know AdSense doesn't do these types of ads..when you see it again can you look in the source where it is located and tell me where it points to please?

One sure fire way of resolving the issue would be to purchase a Subscription Level 2 :D

Or FireFox with ABP :blush:

... but I've been informed by an inside terrorist that being a subscriber gives you access to some awesome raunchy threads with images and piracy... :shiftyninja:

Sometimes (certain) advertisers throw in a new method of advertising and, well, hope that I or others don't notice :/ I can assure you I didn't approve these ads. While we like to make some money, we also want to keep Neowin an enjoyable experience as well, with no crap blocking our (or your) own content.

Did they sneak this in also?

How are the advertisers having so much control over your sites content? This really feels like a security issue when a 3rd party can seemingly change your sites content in any way they want without you knowing. You know most sites that push malicious software on users do so via compromised ad networks?

Nah, thats a new advertiser for the NeoGamr website, we're just what many other gaming sites do by adding skins.. they should only appear at most 2 or 3 times a day.

In all fairness this doesn't happen often. The issue is when they have a code where they can push out multiple campaigns (which in this case is what happened). Once I was able to identify it, it was resolved immediately.

These things happen. I can assure you that we use trusted advertisers on Neowin; we don't chop and change every few months or even years so we have quite a good relationship with the parties that are involved.

    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/
