New ad network - centralize discussions here

[Costello]

We have switched to a new ad network just recently. We're still working out the kinks, please bear with us until we're done

Known issues, which will be addressed by our supplier as soon as possible:
- bottom adverts on mobile are too big
- <please post in this thread if you are getting other issues>

On most ads you will also see a "report ad" button, please click it to report it, obviously. There's no need to report it again on the forums since we'll only tell you to use that report button.

Also, please keep in mind that these ads arent there just for the fun of it. We need revenue to keep servers going, to allow some staff to get (small) payments to keep the site alive, and ... competitions. A big one's coming up real soon, if you've been following the Switch forums you know what I'm talking about.

• Please contact our advertising representatives at Playwire for ad rates, packages and general advertising information.
• All display advertising on our site is managed by Playwire. If you would like to advertise please visit www.playwire.com or email [email protected].

Clicking on the Honda ad redirects too fast to grab the url of but it started with track.celtra (hopefully that helps a little)

thanks, I reported this to them too. It's helpful.

Can you long-press the ad and copy the URL?

Yeah I've been getting redirect ads past few days on mobile. I'll grab urls next time. If I don't root this new phone first for adaway....

Anyone else get full screen ads recently that you can’t get out of without closing the webpage completely and having to reopen GBAtemp? They are being a huge pain in the ass for me every time I come on here. (And I am here quite a lot.)

If I sit on any page for more than 5 seconds, I get this ad. Also starts scrolling the page a little before it pops up. It will also pop up multiple times, even after I've closed it This ad is seriously the worst. I can't report it either

I just tried that and it did nothing on my iPhone

thanks for taking the time to report this, I've informed our ad network

I would like to stress that this ad makes the site almost completely unusable on mobile. I've had it happen about 3 times in the short span of me making this post. It's actually quite frustrating

I have forwarded this very message to our ad network, I hope they realize how annoying it is.

Just to reiterate how bad it is

I’ve had to resort to using an Adblock on mobile to even use the site

Between the ads making the website bounce around making it almost impossible to read threads and the ones that cover the full screen

It’s close to unusable on mobile

Thank you again for all the updates on the matter, hopefully they fix it soon

New today, mobile chrome browser has blocked 8 pop-ups within moments of being on one page, and not at all on others. Sorry I don't have any useful information as to source or the pop-up urls.

 

[brollikk]

this is absolutely the wrong direction in terms of mobile. The full screen ad pops up so many times while attempting to browse, I've stopped going to this site via mobile.

 

[Deleted User]

A new full screen ad

 

[Costello]

just sent a report with all your complaints to the ad network, it's unacceptable. They better get this solved ASAP !

 

[WiiUBricker]

Everyone, stop posting full URLs that start with
walmart-an32.club or other-f71.club.

They expose your plain IP addresses among other information for everyone to see.

 

[The Catboy]

I can’t report these, I’ve tried and there’s no option to report these. I also feel like they’ve decided to double-down because the site is straight up unusable on my iPhone. There’s now pop-ups and redirects added to the constant full-screen ads that happen literally every 10 seconds. I can’t use the site on my phone anymore, it’s just a mess

 

[PrincessLillie]

If it weren't for these intrusive ads and redirects, I wouldn't use uBlock Origin on this site
Hope you guys can get it sorted ASAP, these types of ads are annoying as hecc
