Webmasters: Please test the overlay ads under 100% view

[HelloSensation]

Everytime there is a new ad campaign on HWZ Forums, the 100% view becomes completely unusable. This is not the first time.

Not everybody uses 1080p display where the default 1060 is optimal.

 

[HelloSensation]

I am really starting to wonder if the feedback here ever makes it to the webmasters, because the same thing is happening again.

just use ublock origin or change your dns to
94.140.14.14
94.140.15.15

Thank you for the feedback.

I have relayed the issue to our engineers. There are planned changes coming to our forums towards end of the year and hopefully this issue can be resolved by then.

Any chance of turning this off for the time being? End of the year seems like a long time for the fix

Turn off the ad? That is quite a tall order considering it is a paid advertisement.

Meanwhile the possible workaround is user can try blocking ads from his/her client end, that is by the browser. I would like to help but given my position and role, it will be a conflict of interest for me to provide further details on how to perform this. However, you guys may continue to discuss on possible interim solutions.

actually using the method you are hinting is definitely a workaround. but that is causing issues lately. when the page loads, it be showing a white page for sometime before the rest loads. last time isn't like that

My workaround is disabling javascript for the white page issue.
However it also renders the "adding of smilies in your posts via clicking" inactive.

Not a problem if u are able to memorise the code of the smilies that u commonly use though

I'm starting to run out of patience. It's close to the fourth month into 2021 and the ads are still not fixed.

Didn't see it. Link?

Regardless, if it solves the problem it's all good.

Apologies for not addressing this yet.

Kindly stick to normal view if the overlay ads / interstitial ads are coming up often and your 100% forum view gets cut off.

The ads are standard industry formats, however, they aren't designed to detect the forum width and re-task themselves.

Meanwhile, the 100% view was made available more for convenience in viewing certain threads/content type and not as a default viewing mode.

That said, we'll check with the ad-ops team to see if there are any remedies. If there is, we'll accord it for deluxe members.

 

[HelloSensation]

Even after the move to Xenforo, this is still happening.


I think I have waited long enough. Adblock will be used starting today.

Not sure if this has been reported before.

I am using the option of fluid width. Sometimes, there are ads that appear at the two sides of the forum, covering the parts of the thread list.

I could not do anything else, except to refresh until these side ads disappear.

Experience the same thing also

Hi Atilas,

I've moved your post to this thread, but as mentioned above, it's not yet resolved.

Also, the primary use is still designed for normal page width - not at 100%, which is more for convenience, but it doesn't yet work nicely with page take over ads.
