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.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
