Cracker Barrel ad

[Anonymous]

Jeff- are you aware of the new Cracker Barrel ad that closes in around the forum and blocks posters from seeing the edges of posts? It’s pretty annoying, I don’t know if you can do anything about it.

Yes, I am aware of that ad and I am trying to get it blocked.

Just got it a bunch of times.

Keeps happening no matter how times I close out and reopen. Using an iPad, if that helps.

Omg I was coming to post this. It’s all the way around, then when I was trying to make a comment it popped up right in the middle of my comment box. Very annoying.

I'm getting it too. I hope you get more money from aggressive ads!

Yes, I hate the Cracker Barrel ad. I was trying to use Professor Prebid like you asked us to do before, but even with Professor Prebid, I can't isolate the particular ad. All of the other ads (top, bottom, sides) can be highlighted, but not that one. Very annoying.

Ugh. Cracker Barrel ad is BACK.

6 days of peace from this stupid ad and one of your ad partners let it back in. Please see if you can get this removed. It is very annoying.

Thanks for letting me know. What type of device and what browser are you using?

I have been reporting this ad using the "#audit" tool and have reported it to our ad partner. I also was able to capture my traffic when I got the ad today and that had a lot of information that should be helpful in blocking the ad. So hopefully it will be out of our misery soon.
