Hi Admin, I have started to suffer from Ad Choices and Criteo pop ads at the bottom of the screen when I load EDF or change sections between EDF. I'd be grateful if you can advise if this is something I can do and if so how? Or if this is generated at your end.


Thanks


J

I came across this nuisance yesterday after switching to Opera. It was really irritating. Every time I minimised the bottom-of-page popup panel it reappeared when I moved to a different forum page. In Opera the remedy is easy. Go to menus Opera | Settings | Privacy protection, and activate the Block Ads option. That still allows the RH panel Forum Sponsors ads, so no harm to forum revenue. When I tried reproducing the nuisance just now, the popup panel appeared at bottom of page but is now void of ads, so maybe Admin is fine-tuning. In Firefox I couldn't get the popup panel to appear at all, even with Block Popup Windows disabled.

The current advertisements below the 'Advertise here' link in the RH panel link back to eu.criteo.com, and on loading forum pages I see that domain name as one of the last flashing up briefly in the status bar as loading-from.


ETA: To confirm: the lower popup panel window, currently occupying the lower ~15% of the screen under Midori browser, is also definitely from criteo.com. Clicking on its top RH arrow confirms that, and asks you to report ads, ie provide free feedback, as "Not interesting", "Repetitive", "Not appropriate" or "Ad design issue".

I also have recently started getting them and I use Edge. My adverts are showing underwear. What is odd is that my browser settings should block ads and pop ups but this one seems to persist. Like Jazzer I don't get it on any other websites.

In the meantime, be aware that some variability in apparent effectiveness of ad blockers might be due to differences in the rate of updating their filter lists, or to their configuration settings. AdblockPlus has, for example, a large config page on its Firefox extension page. with several configurable parameters. I only started using it, btw, not to block ads but to prevent forum posters downloading piles of hotlinked images and videos on me. I've now accumulated a hefty collection of blocked site URLs that I can pass on if anyone's interested.

I think any fixing might be dependent on whatever agreement there is between the forum and GoogleAds. In the meantime, as a possible workaround, I've noticed that, when I've not disabled ads on Opera, switching from full screen window to reduced size, any size, seems to effectively disable the bottom-of-screen popup frame.

      We could not be happier. Brian and Malachi were wonderful to have around the house while they were working. The result is 5 star and with Brian's direction the route we took was better than what we had planned. We love the look of our house it has totally changed the feel of the property and transformed it into a house we are proud of. Thank you so much for your great work. Not one hitch and felt really taken care of from start to finish. I cannot recommend them enough.

      I wanted to provide a strong recommendation for Nick Minnes and his team. I came across Nick when someone on our street was moving out shortly after we moved in and posted on our street whatsapp group with their top ten best trades people in which Nick was listed as a handyman+. We had just moved into a house that had been lived in for 40 years by a couple in their late 80s so there was a lot of work to do! Over the last 5 years, we have used Nick on multiple occasions. The definition of handymen+ does not do Nick and his team justice as they do so much more than this. The work they have done includes: A complete new bathroom refurbishment (including re-building a new wall) Completely refurbishing a sitting room (including inserting sound insultation and bespoke cabinetary) Bespoke under stairs storage (after a number of other trades people said it was too difficult) Preparing the house for plastering (removing old wallpaper, filling in cracks) Outside restoration of bricks and cornice Fixing floorboards down Nick is not your normal handymen. He is extremely creative and also great with thinking through colour schemes. I wouldn't hesitate to use Nick and his team again. Everything that they have done for me has been of the highest quality. They are trustworthy, tidy, reliable and honest. I already have a list of other jobs to get them back in for. I would very happily provide a reference for Nick - just like the people did who were leaving our road.  Nick can be contacted on: 07866 267 581. Thanks, Andy
