Question Advertising?

**AggieDad** · 06-21-2022, 06:36 AM

Is it my imagination or has the amount of advertising on Pentax Forums increased a bunch over the past 6 months?

It seems that I am seeing ads on the sides; above Latest Forum Discussions listings; a big footer ad when I first click on; etc. Maybe these have always been here and I have forgotten with age, but then... maybe not.

Anyone else noticing this?

I use an ad-blocker and don't see any ads....

The ads on the mobile site are close to disruptive. Some take over the whole screen. And these are relatively new, only appearing in the last few weeks.

You should not see ads outside of the homepage as a site supporter. If you do, please email screenshots to contactpf at this domain.

As for disruptive ads, Google has a product called auto ads that sometimes needs a bit of tuning. So, any screenshots/examples there would also be much appreciated. We otherwise haven't changed anything in a while.

Thanks for sending in those screenshots! Flyover and interstitial ads should no longer appear throughout the site.
