I understand the need for advertising on the website as any website of this scale requires financial assistance to pay for bandwidth and exclusive content

However the latest set of ads are so intrusive I feel they are more about forcing content down the throats of website visitors

Often when I click on a thread or navigate the page jumps down and a full scale ad starts playing at the top. I don't imagine this is bandwidth friendly either, and sometimes the mute icon toggles off

Having the page constantly jump down creates a frustrating experience and is insulting to long time users who have supported this website

I don't mind ads but please have a fair system such as roll over to start ad, or some kind of user click. Don't just throw it at me

Thanks for the feedback. We have just changed the placement of the video ad so it should not appear at the top of the content anymore.

We appreciate feedback like this and will always try to ensure your user experience is not affected too much but as you said, its the only way we keep FourFourTwo going.

I hope this is a sufficient improvement.

You could say, he's really not assisting the accessibility of the site.

These are really annoying 442 management .[-x

It'd be ok if it only popped up once every now and then but was every thread I visited...until I fixed my hosts file :lol:

Shame as it was definitely an improvement on the "slider" ad.

Fixed guys. Shouldn't have been showing every page load. Apologies.

Please try to not kill any more pets....

Legend. Quick action around here is rare, we like you :lol:

They are back again.

Like spam bots

Hey mate, are you able to mod these current ones?

Forum is unusable for users on mobile devices thanks to these ads.
