I have an iPhone 5 and when I view the forums there is a banner add at the bottom of the page. I press the 'x' to close the ad but when I refresh or go to a new page the ad returns. This ad isn't a pop up so I can't switch it off in the iPhone settings. How do I get this of this annoying ad? Thanks in advance :)
 
Is this the "cookies" notice that keeps popping up? Why is that even on the desktop version? It's really pissing me off on mobile as it fills the screen, and the X isn't even visible. You can't scroll up to it, or anything. Just have to refresh and hope that is doesn't show up again.
Otherwise the site becomes completely useless.

Can this please be fixed?

Also, the ads at the top expand and start playing on EVERY SINGLE PAGE. This is on desktop, not mobile, and it's obnoxious and overly intrusive.
On top of that, it's there even before you can see it. That is, it looks like it hasn't loaded, and you can still see the site, and you go to click on a link/story, and you get taken to the advertiser's website.

Why isn't this a roll over ad, or one you have to click on to expand/hear audio?

Seriously, it's getting to the point of making the site un-usable for me. That may sounds *****y, but why would I keep coming here for my superhero news if I have to keep listening to the same ad every time I go to a page on the site? especially when there are other sites I could go to?

I REALLY love the Hype (it's my go to site,) but these ads are about to push me away, and I've been visiting it since it was Spider-man Hype.
 
i've reported this.

if you could screencap and post the ads that are doing this, i can send that in as well and see if anything can be done about them.

thanks
 
Here's what I tend to get on mobile:

Mobile advertising has gotten extreme.
 
There are continuous sound adverts that keep playing on this site just accessing it normally on a laptop. I don't even know how to turn them off. Are they even the standard pop up ad?

Everytime I'm on here I have to keep hearing "John suffers from indigestion. His twin brother suffers from heartburn. Sometimes it's the other way round..." I don't want to know about their ailments! :argh: Take some Gaviscon already!!

Same problem for me. I can't listen to music or podcast while on the hype cause of these adds.
