Just earlier I had an ad takeover the page talking about a chance to win an iPhone or Samsung or whatever. I couldn’t click off the ad without clicking on OK which takes you further into the scam. I had to shutdown the page.

Backspace (go back function) seems to get out of it. Until it repops

I was so honoured to get a $1,000 JB Hi-Fi voucher from bigfooty, I look forward to the PM with the redemption code.

Really appreciate it.

Yeah the new ones I’ve been getting I can just back out of. The older ones that I was getting when I made the thread would completely stuff the website and I’d have to shut it down.

Anecdotal experience is it seems to hit high traffic threads eg trump thread, axeman hawks preseason, MAFS thread

Golden Ticket ad keeps coming up, must be a mistake with the programming for it because I pay so I don't have ads encouraging me to go to external websites and buy tickets come up.

"External Banner Ads".

These are notifications.

But it has been a general practice that notices are blocked for Platinum members so I will go and change the settings on that one.

I get this about every second page refresh for the last few months on the iPhone

Just been pressing back when it happens and can continue on with Bigfooty without having to close down safari or logging out to avoid the screen loading up for the questions.

Very annoying

Would a membership of some kind stop the free phone ads from happening better than say, a train... which I could also afford.

Are you saying that if you don’t pay a subscription you should expect to keep seeing the ads?

 

[Jozzy]

This is now getting ridiculously bad, I have it happening every half a dozen clicks.

 

[OneGreatClub]

I have been getting them repeatedly over past 3 or so days. Only on BigFooty site. Are the admins looking into it?

Some kind of response would be nice.

It hasn’t stopped, I got one just then, but I’m not getting them as often as I have been over the past week.
