So I had this happen a few weeks ago, and a few times since, but got fed up today.

 

It's an Epson Brightlink ad.  It covers the New Forum Posts box.  I refreshed the page, and could see the box, but couldn't click on anything without taking me to the Epson page, even though the ad wasn't pulled down.  Real annoying.  If my mouse crosses that box at all, it drops down and covers stuff.

 

That ad the HUGE frontpage ad I see at the top that pushes everything on the page down almost out of browser windows.  I believe it was Intel?

The ads I keep getting are those sleazy dating style ones. "Want to meet Asian women?" and the like. I don't really care, it's not offensive to me or anything, but I used to get a mix of all different ads but lately it seems the top banner has been dominated with those ones.

I will go through our adsense today. I have had to change it to our own for one advertiser who is having trouble with delivery. (our own hasn't been used for a couple of years) I may need to apply some filters.

Checked the categories and dating type ads are (still) blocked on our own rotation. Next time you see it pls do a screenshot and do a firebug report for that element (it's an extension for Chrome and Firefox) alternatively you can also give me the location of where the ad goes. It might be an ad not under our control.

I haven't seen one since I first posted about it. Maybe it was just a few that slipped through the filter or something.

Ad covers new forum topics block everytime I visit site.

 

I don't mind Ads, but this ad expands on every page load and completely covers the new forum posts block.

Agreed, please fix that ad.  It is very irritating.  With ads like these it makes me either close the site out of frustration, or block ads.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
