new intrusive ad

[neufuse Veteran]

Seriosuly? The full screen surface ad was bad, but this is almost as annoying

[_neutrino Veteran]

that is one horrible ad.

I don't see the problem?

You can read the surrounding text and guess the rest.... right ?

:p

Dayum that is a bad ad. Ah well at least the close button is easily visible. :rofl:

[neufuse Veteran]

the wrost part it pops up after the page loads after you start to read or type

alright, I am getting this ad on every single front page story... not in the forums though

Pretty sure Neobond will track down this cowboy and release his rage in the appropriate direction :D

I've been getting a lot of these large ads randomly lately, wonder if the ad company is trying to sneak them in to see if anyone notices..

This is why loads of people use adblock. I know its bad for sites but if enough people keep getting ads from sites like that, then they will go else where. Use ads that are not as intrusive and you will keep people. You will still make some ad revenue, maybe not as much as you would with the annoying ones but you will still keep people.

I'd say 100% the ad companies, I can't see Steven doing this on purpose

All ad types are displayed with the consent of the end. This kind is risky but delivers more monies.

I think companies either do not disclose, or hide, the type of ads they are planning on displaying, hoping to get away with it for so long until the site owner says otherwise

I'm 99.9% sure and 101% certain that Neobond would not knowingly allow ads like that

I wouldn't jump into a LOLBIGNEOBONDWANTZMONIE$ conspiracy just yet. There can be a lot of screw-ups along the chain. The media agency could be doing shady stuff with their impressions rate. Or the supplier screwed the target list.

Im pretty sure i read that he had some sort of control like the types of ads that were displayed and how. But i really can not remember and i blocked them a long time ago now.

I was suggesting the opposite!

"LOLBIGNEOBONDWANTZMONIE$" is what the advertisers want us to think, do not fall into their trap, it is made of honey and tastes as sweet as a walnut, but the sting is like that of a thousand bees

[Hum]

I guess Firefox blocks this out -- I've never seen it.

Dear Symantec, stop your ad companies from making such annoying ads...... new one now

It looks like the guy above the ad is even annoyed :laugh:

[xWhiplash]

I have not seen any annoying ads on my end. I am really getting annoyed with some websites lately. I think there was an ad on Weather once where it was about 720 pixels large. It used javascript to slide down slowly, and slide up slowly. So when I scrolled down to actually see my weather, as soon as I clicked a day, the slide up started to work so I clicked on the wrong day.

Not to mention sites that have ads or videos that play sound automatically. Horrible web design work.

[Colin McGregor]

Not seeing anything like this. Using Win8 and IE10

[LUTZIFER]

No ads with Win 7 and IE 10 either.

[Growled Member]

Strange, I'm not seeing that at all.

[Nothing Here]

Not seeing anything like that either. Win8 with FF ESR 17.0.1.

[Steven P. Administrators]

I'll report it :s

I've never seen it coming up, but I will definitely purchase it. Yeh, definitely... You know how much I love Symantec products!

[MikeChipshop Member]

I've never seen any of these full screen ads that crop up from time to time and i've never used an ad blocker :s
