Hello Mods,

These google ads are getting intrusive and problematic.

1. When on an iPad if I try to zoom in on a photo to get a better resolution instead of the ad staying on the Side of the screen and me zooming in on what I want, the ad picks itself up an covers the centre of the screen so it looks like I have tried to zoom in on the ad. Very painful and annoying.

2. I was trying to have a private chat with Moose today about some electronic stuff and when I try to reply, there is a google ad sitting right over the reply box. I tried to close the ad box, the ad went away but the box remained. Please see below what I am talking about.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?😁

I've got the same issue on a samsung tablet and had to go advanced to reply.

Happens frequently on phone or tablet, one reason I don't post much unless I'm on the laptop.

FWIW. I only use a desk top PC to access the net and have used Google for many years. I have a lot of icons on the desk top that link to sites, eg, ausfish, weather sites, you tube etc etc and I was flooded with ads , mainly on ausfish and you tube. But, I found a web browser called Brave and I am currently giving it a run. It's rave is that the ads are cut out and yes it does stop all the ads. You tube was a great test for it. Just hoping it doesn't compromise the PC. Have been using it for 3 months. So far it's been good.

Just letting you know. I use my iPhone 8 to read Ausfish, using the safari browser. I have not encountered any of the mentioned problems.

Just reviving this, it is still happening, sometimes you can reply to a post, or do a PM.

Yep, in my case it covers the entire Quick Reply box, I find I have to hit Reply from an earlier post to be able to do anything. Was going to post a pic but I get a message that I can't do it on my mobile.

It is getting really annoying,don't mind the adds down the side but the overlay adds that mess with the function of the site are a real pain in the arse.

Also is there a way of stopping the side ads from coming to the centre of the page and blocking what you’re trying to see when you zoom in on a picture?

As of a few days ago, I get a full page add appearing if I click on any topic, it's starting to piss me off, I keep trying to keep things moving and alive, but the adds are starting to wear me down.

Reviving this thread again as I'm getting ads covering the quick reply box and the only way around this is to go advanced.

Also adblock doesn't seem to be working.

Any help appreciated

Adblock Plus handles it without problems for me on all browsers.
I do have a few sites that lock me out with adblock, but i can do away with those news sites....who in their right mind would pay for a subscription to the Courier Mail? Woeful reporting there.

Adblock and Adblock plus aren't able to be downloaded at the moment for some reason.

And its funny that I can use the quick reply box on this thread but none of the new ones

It occasionally causes me some issues and I do have to go advanced.

Jack I think you got it slightly wrong, the Courier Mail doesn't report anything, the whole tabloid is just opinions.

Exactly right Sam, they are as pathetic and channel 7 and Ten.....it is very hard to find a facts only source now.
Reuters offers too much hearsay now as well.

The weekend's Bondi event should be a real wake up call to the media.
