Gareth_Glasgow Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Auto play adverts with sound are back. Making the site slow as f**k as well. One is even a poppy fascist one. Poor show. Yep, I've got two playing at the same time right now on Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Sites as slow as fùck, again. The slowtyping thing is back, again. I'm getting adverts in the middle of the screen, not the sides, top and bottom.. Straight in the middle of the screen over everyone's inputs. It's a fucking shambles.

HibeeJibee Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Chronic just now. Slow and partial typing. Ads maxing-out CPU and Flash. Multiple ads. Ad for 'The Uppercut' self-starting with sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Absolute shite on desktop today. Abysmally slow and pausing mid sentence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I have also had no issues for a few weeks which is strange as I seemed to previously be one of the worst affected. That must be the most frustrating thing for Div as one person seems to get no issues whilst others get plenty. I'm on desktop just now - IE.

Boghead ranter Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Now happening with a 'Dog Trix Tutorial' video. That's the one I had narrowed it down to. Fortunately, today, I have tried out Chrome AdBlocker (which is currently blocking 5 ads while I type this) and my P&B experience has improved exponentially.

tazz1903 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Try installing ad blocker plus on your pc . no ads on mine . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 The autoplay ads should be louder, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 The autoplay ads should be louder, imo. "This is Robert... he designs amazing mountainbiking trails" Every second page I go on, there's Robert and his fucking trails. I understand the necessity of advertising to make the site viable, but if we have to have loud, intrusive video ads, can we not have a bit of variety?

ICTJohnboy Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Try installing ad blocker plus on your pc . no ads on mine . Yes, that has worked a treat for me. Try it : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom/related?hl=en Click on "Add To Chrome" and then "Add Extension" You don't have to do anything else. .

HibeeJibee Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Something called static.reelfeed.tv presumably an advert, keeps triggering my anti-virus's "Unsafe Website" warning, only on this website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Adverts starting to kill me again the last few days. Getting a pop up on every loading page saying "This site contains information outwith its control, do you wish to continue" or something very similar to that. I get the message 3 times on every new page I go to and its getting very annoying. Back to the app for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The music from the adverts at the bottom are starting up automatically not long after you open a page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The adverts are getting worse. It's now two opening up on each page and when you press the mute icon on them the sound just restarts when a new advert loads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The adverts are getting worse. It's now two opening up on each page and when you press the mute icon on them the sound just restarts when a new advert loads up. Hasn't been any changes to the ads in several months on our side, but I will check with the ad providers as there shouldn't ever be any with auto-sound as we opt out of those campaigns.

Snakebite Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Everytime I use this site outwith the mobile version I'm having to go into task manager to close the flash player. Absolutely unreadable otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Its the same for me. This will be Div's response: With respect, we have over 40,000 users and at any given point in the day we have over 1,000 online. And I've got a couple of complaints about the adverts. So either everyone else is using ad-blockers, they are platinum members, they don't care, or they aren't having any problems. Which is it ?
