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].

Yeah it's like a loop between two pages, so the back button doesn't work still.

if you mash it hard enough it'll eventually get back to where you were.

Yikes, looks like mobile redirects galore in here.
If it's annoying, you can install Firefox on Android and add the uBlock Origin add-on as a temporary workaround until this ad network sorts things out. (You may also be able to do this on iOS, but I'm not too sure...)

[Costello]

we have made several reports to the ad network and they have already responded and saying they are processing the reports ASAP.

Reviving this thread because I've just begun to get redirects for the first time on Chrome for Android. (Front page, forum list, threads, etc.)
I found the offending ad, but there's no option to report it unlike the other non-offending ads that have "report ad" underneath them. I've included the links anyway.

I’m getting a recurring ad for some Lion King crap. I’ll screenshot it in a sec as it’s normally popping up full screen every 10 seconds on iOS. Funny enough it hasn’t popped up once while typing in this thread

Edit: here ya go

That's definitely new, and I don't like it.
IIRC, there were problems with similar ads on mobile and they were not intentional.

I'm getting the exact same thing.

The ad takes up 20% of the screen. Close it, and another appears seconds later.

Ads organically integrated into content are fine. Pop-ups that persistently obscure content are annoying.

Hopefully adjustments are made.

Chrome blocked another popup also
