These ads are so huge and annoying!

Thank you for the screenshots. I have passed them along to our ad partner.

Me back again. Last night after midnight (so technically, today, 5/5) I got the St Augustine ad (with the scrolling 3 windows I posted before). It hit me like 4 times within about 8 minutes before I just decided to get off of DCUM last night. Again, I was on a Win11 laptop running Chrome.

When this happens to me, I cannot get to the browser bar to add #audit to the end of the web address (hence why I sent you the screencaps, which I could still do).

Hopefully this will be addressed tomorrow. I guess nothing was done over the weekend.

I have had the St Augustine ad more than previously today I have sent like 15 audit reports in. I'm the one who keeps noting that I think the advertisers might have figured out how to game the audit tool, because only small squares are popping up to report, not the main ad itself.

You can stop reporting through the audit tool now. I have asked for more information about what is happening with those reports because it doesn't seem like they have any impact. Have you or can you provide a screenshot of the ad? I have seen smaller versions of that ad, but not a full screen. Sometimes our ad partner can identify the ad through a screenshot.

On a positive note I’ve gotten this ad only once today, as opposed to last week when I was getting it every 5 minutes.

It is very annoying. On my Samsung Galaxy S20 with Chrome as the browser, it fills the entire screen, and just scrolls between the three images. I have to close the browser and restart to get past it.

On my Win10 laptop with Chrome, it fills the window (not the screen) and scrolls between the three images, but I can still his the reload button in the browser and it will reload the page I am on without me having to kill and restart the browser.

The problem is that you reload and after 15-20 seconds, it returns. I get it about 5 times in 2 minutes before I get a longer break of maybe 10 minutes before it returns.

Seeing these ads so many times today. The audit tool is useless; I have been using it since last week and it’s not doing a damn thing.

I'm the PP who posted the above 3 images. This has gotten me about 6 times in the last 40 minutes. I am on my Win11 laptop with Chrome, so I can refresh the screen to get rid of it here. But it's still very annoying to be reading a page and it just flips to the image and blocks the page. I can reload, then have to find where I was again. Very disruptive.

Nothing works, they have been popping up for days and people have been complaining about it.

It just happened again - St Augustine ad. I am using chrome and windows. I used the #audit to report it, FWIW.
