Sudden appearance of ads on OCUK site ??? **UPDATE: There will be no adverts**

[Maccy]

I got an ad for FriendsWithBenefits, not ideal on my work laptop!

They're cookie based....awkward...

Oh well, finally drove me in to install UBlock, OCUK forums just started costing all the recipe blogs I visit ad revenue

You can pre order the ad free version of the forum for £5.99 ... rising to £15.99 between basket and checkout, with a random switch off at some point in the future.

Weird though, not that I visit any dodgy sites in general, but I specifically stick to only a handful (fnar fnar) of sites on my work machine.

Fixed for you.

I'd presume since OCUK don't usually do programmatic advertising they don't have floor prices in place so it's very possible that it's not set up to stop dodgy ads

 

[wedrum]

nope fine here. you been looking at gay porn and caught an add on

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I didn’t see any ads, but the whole thing went out of alignment on mobile for a few minutes.

They clearly haven’t made enough money of 3080 sales

 

[SixTwoSix]

It's google ads, though. What you been searching?

Ha ha, i'm at work so nothing untoward at all, that's what makes it funny.

 

[Plec]

More like your targeted ads picked up the "hard wood" part

LOL.

I would have expected "Natural Organic Pears(pairs)" if that was the case

It knows

I fear what I might see when I log onto the forums at home

The alignment is because of the add size.

Haha.

 

[Haggisman]

give over, fixed within 2mins

good lord that's some fine over-reacting sir.

Sure.

Or perhaps there's a reason I have ABP installed and why I choose to use OCUK forums over others (hint, something to do with ads.) It's not like I was kicking and screaming about it, just stating my feelings...

I don't have any ad blocker installed ATM and I haven't seen any ads at all?

 

[Jono8]

Seems to have gone now. Were they testing the water?

I noticed this today too, thought I had malware!

Deleting cookies fixed it for me.

Only happened on Edge for me too...Chrome wasn't affected.
