I'm getting a sudden surge in massive ad graphics too.  Multiple LARGE ones appearing in the middle of thread topics, and a massive one that keeps sliding down from the top of the screen.

 

Sorry Neowin, I know you guys need ads, but these are really obnoxious and I REALLY don't want to take you off my adblock whitelist, so could you guys look into it?  I'm presuming this isn't intentional as you've never been this "in your face" with ads until the last day or so...

I also see 6 nearly full-width adverts on this page alone.

Ugh, I found the tag that is causing it. I have an old autoads script in the <head> it was fine there when autoads was not enabled at AdSense, but it became active for members. I removed it (also a dupe line for guests).

 

For guests I had it twice, the old and new, I removed the older entry.

The top line is the old entry, the third line is the new one. I removed the top line for members and guests.

Would appreciate a whitelisting we have minimal ads in the forums as it is.

From what I've seen, uBlock actually hides the Mini Spy window, too. One more reason why I have this site whitelisted. ;)

Can you tell me why when I first load up a thread, I get this:

 But when I reset the page, all the ose ads between posts.

Could this be a cookie thing?

And now I don't see ANY advertising. Even on the Home page. There should be one on top and right side..

 

This on my end or yours?

 

Edit: I do have ublock, but it is whitelisted for this URL.

    • Newegg offers insane combo deal on Amazon Prime Day 2026 that beats Steam Machine

      How can it beat a Steam machine without a serious GPU? The two CU iGPU only provides about 5fps in gaming. That's not going to make any gamer happy.
    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.
