Adverts on bluemoon

[BlueDan91]

@BlueDan91 I'm not a techy so you've lost me on all of that but you mention it identifies when a user wants to leave the site. I get various ads, usually Haven and Siemens, when I am trying to open a forum or thread, not when I'm leaving it. Further, it is totally random, which to me suggests a bug or glitch.

It identifies when it thinks a user is trying to leave the site by either noting when the user quickly scrolls to the top of the page on mobile or if their mouse starts to move upwards on desktop- even if to open a new thread- it will think you're moving to click off and serve an ad.

These sort of ads also serve when they think a user is idle too.

Quite possibly a bug but everything I've seen of it so far works exactly how I'd expect it to work for that format, I think it was just a little too aggressive with it's triggers.

Ah, OK cheers I understand now.

I think the issue with the Haven ads etc that @Blue Mist is referring to is separate from the exit intent ads you mention.

I still can’t work out why you’re getting those ads though, as they’re only meant to be served to guests!

Typically don't mind the unobtrusive ads and I recognise why they are on the site. However, the WORST ads are the ones that simply take over the whole screen and limit your ability to scroll the site for a short period of time.

Which are becoming far more common, unfortunately. I just ironically had one when opening this thread.

I posted about these adverts earlier in the thread, as well.

This is what I am referring to:

Yes, these are the ones I was referring to in my post. This one and McDonald's are prevalent.

The frequency of the Sargento cheese ad and the one with the baby has become absolutely obnoxious.

Yeah, it has gotten so bad that now every third time I reload to get rid of it the ad loads again.

They’re almost unavoidable now.
