Preview Round 18 v North Melbourne Marvel Stadium Sat 16th July 4.35 SONSIE Debuts

[DoItForCaptBlood]

Btw - what the hell is with all these drop down ads on Big Footy atm. Now they're inserting them in between posts?! I'm all for sponsorhip and advenrtising revenue to keep the site rolling but this is starting to get invasive and is affecting the functionality of the forum. Has anyone else noticed?

This is my first post in around 3 weeks as I think one the advertisers on here installed a browser hijack on my phone. From time to time you accidently hit and open advertising sites as you scroll, but one must have been malicious. If I came onto Bigfooty, after 3 secs, bang, the advert took over the browser. Only on Bigfooty though. So I just checked once a week to see if it was still happening and finally seems to have been either been discovered and removed by admin IT, or once the advertiser stopped their campaign, I was free again.

Advertising doesn't worry me at all as I can ignore it no problem. I think advertisers more and more are aware many are like me and they need more 'in you face' methods. I get the need for revenue to maintain a quality service, so pay for a membership or put up with advertising. Malicious software is not on though!

Me too, I am getting a pop-up when using Chrome (telling me that I have won a phone from Google), so I shifted over to DuckDuckGo, and now not a single add.

The big wigs of the site have been made aware of the ad issues going on atm and have been trying to work out a fix with limited success, but they definitely know about them and are trying to sort it out asap

Just been made aware of this thread that might help as well

EDIT:

This is happening on the CHROME MOBILE BROWSER mainly. It is a kind of exploit of your browser.

While it is being fixed, please try using the Safari, Brave, DuckDuckGo, or Firefox browser.

Try clearing your browser cache. That should kill any cookies that they may have left behind.

Yes, as I said, I did this earlier today. Might need to update the thread title 😝

Gibcus will play a blinder.

But will once again be robbed by the RS when Sonsie gets 36 possessions and 2 goals.

 

[roacheee]

Agree. I understand the need for ads but it’s become too much. Bloody annoying

If you're on android ... Go to app store and download 'free a d b l o c k e r browser'

On iOS, 1blocker will fix it. Sometimes.

Should keep 8th spot if we lose. Depending on how Chol and the Suns go against Essington.

There a thread about it on the support forum, I copped it as well.

Good thought - but if we lose to North, we might as well start the end-of-season trip on Sunday.

Fuq ios...i have an apple work phone....biggest piece of s**t ever...here endeth the rant

 

[Maybenextyear]

Surely you can only only stuff up so many times . Surely after one of the most embarrassing losses we have had in years we come out breathing fire . Surely if we are a good club we start playing like one.

Good clubs respond . Be a good club .

We’ll smash these bin chickens. 10 goal win coming up. Boys will be angry after last week.
