I keep getting an ad featuring a nearly naked women. It’s rather annoying. The link is to this address.

There is a horrendous Windows 10 ad that keeps popping up every few seconds, even when I click x, making some thick border around the screen and stopping me from clicking on anything until it goes away. It’s bloody horrible tbh.

Here’s a screenshot

And here is the URL

This makes the site so unpleasant I might as well not use it. I have adblocker on my computer but on mobile it’s free reign for these nasties. I understand the need for them but if this particular one could be blocked that would be AMAZING. Ads shouldn’t impair the usability of the site.

Hi. Still getting the windows 10 ad. It literally comes up every few seconds, even when I click x. It’s so invasive! [name_m]Can[/name_m] we please block this?

I have sent this URL to be blocked already.

I know many people feel strongly about some of the ads.

A more direct way of getting in touch with the team about this is to email support@nameberry.com, including the URL of the ad and a screenshot, if possible.

I can’t do anything more about the ads than pass the URLs I receive on, which I do as soon as I receive them.

Many members have suggested installing an adblocker, which could be worth a try.

Thanks for clarifying [name_f]Katinka[/name_f]! I was under the impression that you personally were the one blocking the ads. I will see what mobile adblockers I can find. I know you must get a lot of demands from people and I’m sorry to have added to that.

Please don’t worry @alatari. I just want to make sure people are taking their concerns to the most direct place where they’re most likely to be dealt with swiftly :slight_smile:

Just want to say this new update has actually really improved the ad problem for me!

the only two I seem to have a problem with is the Paw Patrol one and a blues clues one (both which you may have already fixed, I haven’t seen them in awhile)

YES! Also, pressing the button on the bottom of the screen is a PAIN. ESPCIALLY on mobile.

I was actually just about to make a thread about this & then I spotted this one, lol.

Yeah, I get one all the time — It’s a problem too.

I’ve been having a lot of problems with ads on mobile in the last week or two - was never a problem before but they block out the reply button and I can’t seem to close them, so I have to refresh the page and hope it doesn’t reappear in order to respond. Doesn’t matter what the ad is, the little x in the top right just won’t work for me. So frustrating.

I find if you zoom in on it, the X at the top right of the ad generally works. Have you tried an adblocker?

Do you have the url of it

If you do manage to get the URL, please email it directly to support@nameberry.com, it should get to the right people most quickly that way! Sorry about this, sounds very frustrating.

Is anyone else having problems? I’m on my phone and it seems like more often than not there’s an ad that pops up and blocks the reply box so I can’t see what I’m typing. I’m not able to click off of it.
Also, it looks like when I do post that I’m double (or triple) posting but when I exit the thread and get back in it shows I only posted once. :woman_shrugging:t2: Not sure what’s going on.
Could be just may phone I guess, but I’ve never had this happen before.

It happens to (nearly) everyone

I’m having such a huge issue on the forums lately. There will be a giant ad box in the bottom right corner. I can’t remove it and it’s larger than usual. It covers my text box, answers, and makes the pages harder to navigate.

I’ve also had insane glitching this whole week. I’m holding out cause I’m assuming it’s part of the update rollout. But it is making it really hard to use the past couple of weeks.

I only use on desktop btw. If that matters.
