pacfish Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I can't tell you which ad it was but I can tell you where it redirected me to. I recommend turning your volume down and even taking off your headphones before clicking. http://bnd3.redirect00002.net/?sttn=flow I'm removing the exception from the site on the ad blocker I use. This isn't acceptable from a company that makes the user feel bad for using an ad blocker with the use of a sad emoticon and asking for support because without the revenue from ads the site wouldn't exist.

And, if you care enough to understand how this happens, give the rest of the thread a read too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanpage Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 On the new layout site there's a coke legacy ad that is taking over the entire screen. I can't click anywhere. I don't see it on any of the banners so I can't report it. Only thing I can do is adblock the site. Switch back to legacy design and then turn off adblocker again. Don't know where else to report this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firestorm962 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) I have the same problem with the coke ad. It takes over the entire page. Anywhere you click, it takes you to https://adclick.g.doubleclick.net/pcs/click%253Fxai%253DAKAOjssaUEwHRH4rYPif3EPIYkrW-Zo3MnjJS6cnVuJVNyHgc6HqlZbMFrEnJ1JN2DUAvIQzRAaiLVe9WS6ngxc-QctiJD98y20V71PnIfAlyrNp8TB5J69o3KobiNXptvciv8wJuWiIJDdJ99RZc_PUgoV4jWw9d2MapUHgIQ-SY6las2urad1ZtLz78GVYQr_YtxXP12-O2nsOwYk6oNRKZ6iFu6-M5ntoghpJHlPYEyQ%2526sig%253DCg0ArKJSzKy1EXG01vTdEAE%2526urlfix%253D1%2526adurl%253Dhttp://www.cokeworlds2017.com/?campaign=Curse I don't actually see the ad anywhere, I'm just taken to the link I mentioned no matter where I click on the page. Played around with dev options in chrome. On an affected page, if I delete the div element where the id = "skin_cdm", the problem goes away for that page.

Dark0ne Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 We've pushed the coke ad issue to our providers already. Very disappointed in them for this issue reshowing again after we specifically told them about it a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 We've pushed something that is supposed to fix the annoying ad issue. Can anyone confirm whether they're no longer getting the "click anywhere, get taken to an ad site" issue now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willparry79 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I can say that I was having the page-wide invisible ad problem as of 30 minutes or so ago, I just broke down and bought the ad-free option. Figure $2 is more than fair considering how frequently I've been getting mods from this site. But yeah, got the coke ad a few times, also got an affiliate amazon link navigating me to buy "Amazon Coins" whatever those are, so I don't think it's just a coke ad. Went in developer options on chrome and inspected the page, there seems to be an invisible <a> element that spans the whole site. Deleted it and it worked fine until I re-visited the page.

pacfish Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Coke ad outside the banners still exists but my earlier post about the really bothersome one wasn't found after about 10-15 attempts so I think it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanpage Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 As of right now the ad that spans the entire page is gone. Will play around and see if it returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
