    I think it's been sorted for now. If it happens again please let me know.

    No worries, can only imagine how annoying they must have been. Raging that they were active for as long as a few weeks.

    I downloaded the app there and had shot of it. Just can't take to it at all, it's clunky and dated compared to Samsung internet, imo.
    I couldn't turn the ads off anyways.


    Cheers though.

    Is it just me or are the adverts getting really bad here?

    Big massive add at bottom of the screen constantly and it expands up covering everything, click it off and it comes straight back within like 5 seconds of scrolling the page.

    Certain advertisements exhibit excessive intrusiveness, such as the Foxy Bingo advertisement, which monopolizes the entire browser screen for approximately 10 seconds, hindering the ability to promptly close it.

    Yes, this is the worst that the site has ever been for ads. It’s actually getting to the stage that it’s making the site unusable !! The large adverts that keep jumping when scrolling which eventually lead to the page crashing. Needs to be a way around this, surely can have adverts displayed which aren’t as intrusive as it’s far too much

    Since I stopped paying GM the sites been borderline unusesble. Deleted half the posts I’m typing in the middle of posting and just kicks me off in general with errors.

    Can I get some screenshots of the large ads? These shouldn’t be appearing for members. This way I’ll be able to identify them and get them removed.

    Whenever anyone gets a full screen or large ad please try and remember to take a screenshot and post it here and tag me in the post.

    Want to chime in that the Foxy Bingo add is really intrusive, honestly don't mind the others but you it takes around 10 seconds to close as it doesn't give you the option.

    Can you take a screenshot and post it next time it happens? There shouldn’t be any popup or full screen ads for members.
