Yea, clearly that shouldn't be happening, you seem to be getting a mix of desktop and mobile ads for some reason. I need the urls of the pages of those screenshots too so I can test and fix this.

 

[Abu Antar]

When I click the videos that pop up, nothing happens. Not even sharing works in the top ads section.

I can press the ads at the bottom. Latest url was this:
https://www.max.se/nyheter/just-nu-...MIj5evrI_T9wIVJkqRBR3LJADVEAEYASAAEgL1NPD_BwE

Edit:
One of the top ad url:
https://www.lime-technologies.com/e...MIjNWEno_T9wIViquyCh2jeQPxEAEYASAAEgKCJvD_BwE

When it comes to videos, when I click on videos, they just loop endlessly. I don't know if this is just me or if others have the same issue.

 

[Taluntain]

No, I mean the urls of the Codex pages where you made those screenshots.

 

[Abu Antar]

Oh, those are lost in time and space.

Here's the current url. I get the same amount ads.

Does this help?

 

[Taluntain]

It's a start. Now I just need a day off to deal with this.

 

[Abu Antar]

Browsing on mobile is now much better.

There is only one ad per page, and it is not a pita to navigate on my phone.

 

[Nathaniel3W]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but the different sizes of ads is bothersome because all the content on the page moves around when a new ad gets loaded.

 

[Taluntain]

This is on the to-do to get fixed.

Hey yo, I'm supposed to be ad-free via donations yet am still getting top of page external propaganda. Apologies if this is already under discussion elsewhere; please redirect me as appropriate.

 

[Taluntain]

This is being worked on and should be fixed soon, XF2 makes our check for who has ad-free from the site donation campaigns much harder than it used to be on XF1.

lmao even the ads on this site are designed to trigger half the userbase

inb4 they replace it with "donate to Russia" ad

 

[Taluntain]

Zombra and anyone else with ad-free access; you shouldn't be seeing any ads now, neither on the forums, nor the front page. If you are, post here and blame Twiglard .

 

[Zombra]

Twiglard

 

[Taluntain]

Is that the only one you're seeing?

 

[Zombra]

and in case you didn't check

 

[Taluntain]

We've always shown those to everyone even on the old forums as they're just affiliated buttons, so those don't count. I meant larger banner ads, I assume you aren't seeing others except the top one. If you're only seeing that one, it's likely DarkUnderlord 's fault so we're waiting for him to fix whatever he did to make the conditionals not work there.

 

[Zombra]

Seems fixed now? Thanks. Twiglard Taluntain

 

[Taluntain]

Yea, I stopped waiting for DU and fixed it myself.

9/10 whenever I go through the main page for the first time in a day, it stalls for a bit then a download of some html file starts:

Sometimes it keeps trying and trying again to download some randomly named files until I close the tab or navigate to the forums (if I manage to click it fast enough).

Weird thing is, it then goes away. Like once I get to the forums and I open the main page again, it doesn't happen, even if I refresh the page 20 times.

 

[Taluntain]

There was a thread about that a while ago, it seems to be some Firefox bug that they still haven't fixed properly. Though it's better now than it was before. See here: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/why-does-the-codex-download-shit-onto-my-pc.142869/

The ad nightmare I described some time ago is back. It was gone for a period.

Wrong link?

Nah.

It takes a few seconds for all ads to load. On mobile.

Another one.
