Ads on mobile device

ssgp2 · Jan 21, 2021

Am I the only one with this problem? When using my iphone, google ads block the bottom of the page, and you cant click on anything there. I can close the ad (after I give a reason), but then the ad place holder still keeps me from clicking anything under it. I can pull the page up to reveal what i want, but as soon as I let go is scrolls back down behind the ad place holder.

I am almost exclusively on my iPhone when on TBN. What you describe has never happened to me. I can see how that would be frustrating.

Same here this morning... it's like a totally different TBN with a tic tac toe box in the upper right hand corner and not the full web page that mirrored my desktop computer which is easy to navigate...

I only hope I can go back because whatever topic I post I get ads... like this morning for auto insurance, car buying and repair... must be related to my 5.7 hemi engine thread?

Site has been unusable on my Android phone lately. If the hack that cuts the site completely off doesn't occur the popup ads keep creeping up from the bottom. Most of the time I get the screen that pops up in front of the page identifying my phone and wanting me to click on something so I have to close the tab.

I very seldom use my phone for browesing TBN, I did try to the other day and it was just about impossible all the damned popup ads and not the page that I am used to.
I do run ad blocker on my PC and I see that it has blocked 21 ads from this site this morning, may have to install it on my phone.
What a royal pain!!!!!!

Yep, few weeks back my phone cleared it's cookies or whatever sending me to the mobile site and I haven't been able to get on TBN from the phone at all for that exact reason.
