We load in the ads last, so on slower connections that can cause the page layout to shift. To prevent this, we'll need to reserve space for each ad, based on the largest possible ad that could be served in each slot.I feel like my screen is bouncing all over the place as I’m scrolling because of the adds loading.
If you post a screen shot I can take a look.Hey brodi I’m getting non stop weird pop ups
Some ads served by Google are personalized based on your browsing history and other factors. You can try clearing your cache/cookies.Meth some of these adds a little too much and they’ll be the same add popping up over and over ... also I’m getting A lot of weird baby adds and I don’t got no kids is there any way to fix that ?
I'm getting "Complex Networks" ads on desktop that take up the bottom 1/8th of my monitor. They're resource hogs and have false "X" tabs in the corner that redirect me to a Draft Kings site.
Obviously the ads are essential to the site, but that "X" out fakeout is pretty scummy.
It’s frustrating to have a bad experience on any website or app that you’ve come to rely on.I know I’ve wrongfully jumped on you in the past about these ads Methodical Management , but I appreciate you looking into it and constantly working to improve the site experience. Just got another half page ad pop up filling the screen I was typing in posting this response.
I know I’ve been a **** to you in the past about the ads issue, but I sincerely apologize for that and know it’s obviously not something you’re trying to do or wanting for your base. Appreciate your detailed response and the work you’re doing and have done to keep the board going. Thank you for looking into it!It’s frustrating to have a bad experience on any website or app that you’ve come to rely on.
I use an ad-supported layout myself, as does the rest of the team, so we’re encountering these issues just as you are.
We’re doing all that we can to address the problem as quickly as possible.
There are a lot of misconceptions about online advertising based around the assumptions associated with old media, as if someone approached me with an offer to run these half-page ads on NikeTalk in exchange for $X and I chose to sell everyone out. That’s not how it works.
Our online advertising inventory is currently handed by Complex. Given that we share a similar audience, they’re able book high quality campaigns across their network, but given that there’s so much inventory it’s inevitable that the majority of ad spots will be filled using automated third party networks.
Right now, it seems that some of these ads are exceeding the boundaries we specified for our footer unit. Unfortunately, it’s not something we can correct ourselves. We’ve brought this to the attention of our friends at Complex, citing posts like these to help document the issue, but given that not everyone works 365 days a year, we’ll likely need to be patient for a couple of more days before this can be resolved.
As a reminder, though the overwhelming majority of our fellow members utilize our free, ad-supported site and we’re committed to making that a great experience, we did create an ad free subscription option to ensure that everyone has a choice:
It’s available here:
Advertising revenue supports NikeTalk’s expenses, so we donate the account upgrade fees (less any applicable taxes/PayPal costs) to charity. Just this past week, we donated $1,500 to Doctors Without Borders.
Regardless of which option you choose, we appreciate your continued support for the community.
I’ve been constantly getting half-screen pop up ads on my phone, but they at least close now when I hit the X in the corner. Annoying, but easy to work around. Trying to get my MacBook back up and running for when I travel, so might (hopefully…?) be able to replicate these desktop issues soon. If Meth wants to buy a new WiFi driver for my laptop to test it I’d appreciate itI'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature but it involves ads messing up my view.
These ads that appear on top of content and say to "scroll to continue reading" but it just stays covering up posts until the bottom of the ad. Any fix or workaround?
