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].

The bug literally makes no sense and I've still not experienced it. Does it happen without any user interaction?

No user interaction is required

It happens as more and more ads load in on the page

 

[Chary]

It happened to the most recent post in a thread the two times I saw it. Patreon, so no ads were involved for me.

^^Still seems to be an issue for me. The site has become almost unusable for me on mobile if I want to read replies to a thread opposed to just the OP

This POS ad got me

 

[yusuo]

Been having an issue with a large-ish pop up ad, whenever I try and close it just opens a new tab and refuses to close. Always coming in from the bottom of the screen

 

[Subtle Demise]

Got another redirect one after a long time not seeing them.

I just had 3 popup ads on gbatemp hijack my phone's browser so I had to back out of the website to try again. This was after scrolling down on the homepage for a few seconds.

 

[DeoNaught]

Howdy, More Ad non-sense, This popped up on my pc after I left it on the homepage for a couple of seconds

I know hicc ups happen now and then, so not too worried about it, but just thought you should know.
Also I don't usually go through the sub forums, I mostly just go through recent and newsworthy, but going through this one, I noticed that there's ads within the thread list

I'm pretty sure the thread list ones are supposed to be there.

Nothing new, been happening to me for a year now.

Nothing new, been happening to me for a year now.

We send every single report manually to our ad providers who take immediate action. There's not much more we can do at this point.

This is the URL I got redirected to on my phone. It's one of the annoying "congratulations you won" ads that don't let you go back, buzzes your phone, and takes over your tab. I used to get them all the time like a year ago, then almost never, and now they are becoming semi-frequent again so I hope this helps to determine where they're coming from.

Can I just pay $20 to get ads removed from my account?

Actually, one of the perks for our Patreon is that you can browse the site ad free

https://www.patreon.com/gbatemp

I believe the $2 tier can go ad-free, despite what it says there (but @Costello can confirm for sure!)

$2 a month for ad-free is reasonable, but $5 a month seems a bit excessive.

 

[digitalforums]

I used to browse this site a lot more than I do now, now there are ads everywhere, shame I understand the reasoning, but when you have limited data, I load the page up and turn data off so it doesn't drain my data.

As a patron, I shouldn't be seeing these, right? They've never showed up before.
Autoplaying videos are one of the most annoying things on the Internet.
