Ads in comments
 
Anyone else getting ads right in people comments? I do have ad blockers and this just started.

cjsews 03-25-2018 05:12 AM

Yes. I've had this for about a week. Irritating

Libster 03-25-2018 05:32 AM

Yes. I just noticed it for the first time this morning. I have an ad blocker too. I agree, very irritating.

QuiltnNan 03-25-2018 06:16 AM

please also post what kind of device and operating system you are using

patricej 03-25-2018 08:08 AM

-device brand and model
-browser
-operating system & version

Apple IPad 2 and I sign in from Safari. I cannot do Google Chrome unless I remove my privacy settings.

NJ Quilter 03-25-2018 01:40 PM

I've had the issue for the last week or so as well. I have been using either a Dell laptop or Dell desktop computer, both using Windows 7 Professional OS, both using Firefox w/ad blocker.

It's not every thread nor is it every comment in those threads in which the ads do appear. But it has been multiple responses in a single thread.

NZquilter 03-25-2018 03:10 PM

I am having this issue too. Very annoying. I am using my Amazon Fire 8HD, Bing search engine and Windows 10 operating system.

interesting because I use an Ipad2 and safari and I don’t have problems. Could it be the carrier? I’m on Att. Very perplexing I’m sure

Irritating is the way to describe it. I understand that this forum is free for us, and that advertising supports the costs. We already have advertising on the top, each side and at the bottom... not sure where this will end up next. Ironically, there is no mid-thread advertising in this thread....

cannyquilter 03-26-2018 12:57 AM

iPad access through Safari. They started sometime last week.

Quilterafloat 03-26-2018 12:47 PM

Yes! iPad 2, safari... and I got an ad in the middle of your post!

cashs_mom 03-26-2018 12:49 PM

I'm on a desktop and with Firefox. The ads just started showing up today. I haven't had internet at home since last Monday so I don't know about my laptop. I don't remember seeing them on my tablet, but I haven't been on a lot with it so I'm not sure.

momsbusy 03-27-2018 06:51 AM

I’m using a new IPad and the ads are driving me crazy.

patricej 03-27-2018 02:28 PM

they've been working the issue.
that's all the information i have right now.

lblank42 03-28-2018 07:18 AM

I, too, am getting ads in the middle of posts. I am using a Dell Inspiron 17 laptop, Firefox for the browser, and my operating system is Ubuntu linux, Aardvark version.

Jingle 03-30-2018 03:29 PM

I have noticed them at least a couple of weeks. I am using google chrome on an HP pavilion windows 8, I think.

patricej 03-31-2018 02:25 AM

i've reported this.
still waiting for the solution.

dunster 03-31-2018 03:28 PM

Windows 10, Dell laptop. These ads are extremely annoying.

Tiggersmom 03-31-2018 05:44 PM

I've been getting ads for over a week... I usually am on my Kindal. At the top it says my name and "Fire 10". I don't know what that means.

lots2do 04-08-2018 03:51 AM

Thank you, Patrice.
I haven't been on for a while but noticed this yesterday.
I use an iPad Air and also use Safari. Every four posts on this thread, there is an ad for me but I haven't seen one in the middle of a post on this thread. I'll go back and see if I can find the thread that I saw it on.

patricej 04-08-2018 05:05 AM

they are trying to figure out how to fix that.
those ads have always been there for folks who are not logged in.
never there for folks who are logged in.
somehow they started appearing for all.
they've been working on it for quite a while.

it's annoying but not life-threatening.
hang in there.

lots2do 04-12-2018 05:01 AM

Hi Patrice,
I logged on last night and what an improvement! There were only a few ads once in a while and I was able to click out of them.
Thank you again and pass along my thanks to the IT people...

NJ Quilter 04-13-2018 02:32 AM

It seems as though after the login message at the top of the page issue was resolved, ads started popping up in the middle of threads again. I don't think it's as prolific as it was initially. But still sometimes frustrating. Thanks for working on the issue so diligently.

Battle Axe 04-13-2018 02:37 AM

Me too. What changed?

Marcia

cannyquilter 04-13-2018 04:39 AM

Mine seems to be resolved. Thank you for getting this sorted.

Bug Lady 04-13-2018 05:05 AM

I just logged in and have ads everywhere. In essence, nothing has been resolved. Thanks for started this thread and do wish it would be fixed.

Jane Quilter 04-13-2018 05:13 AM

I had to move from the adblocker product to the ublock . This resolved my pop ups on my computer. my smartphone is almost unusable for the qb

patricej 04-13-2018 01:25 PM

i'll let them know their latest attempt to fix it was not 100% successful.
thanks for reporting in. :thumbup:
