Pop-Up Videos

[TXDawg.sixpack]

Is anyone else getting the pop-up video “stories” every time you click on a thread? It’s happening on my iPad and it’s annoying as hell. Is there a way to stop them from showing up? I’m already running an ad blocker, but it’s not stopping them

It's annoying on desktop. And it only started day 2, yesterday. Haven't noticed it yet on mobile.

ETA: I spoke too soon. Now getting it on mobile! You cursed me TX.*

Yeah just started today. Annoying as hell

Just started today for me, too. I’m only on mobile.
ETA: At least you can hit the X and drop it to the bottom of the thread.

Been hitting my laptop for 2 days now which was day 1 for me on this new board. EVERY single click it pops up and it's the same headlines every damned time.

Yep, that’s it. I’m assuming it’s an On3 “top stories” thing, but it’s annoying as hell. You hit the “X” and it disappears for a while, but then it comes right back.

Unfortunately, since it’s fed by On3 I doubt there’s anything we can do about.

I sent a message about it.

Thank you DS as this new board is not too bad man. If it makes the board more money, I'm all for it. Can we get A SS and SH IT back? Why not black out GD and F Bombs instead? Oops I see Rule 17, good job on F Bombs. But sports forums should not be denied SH IT & AS S as they are just too necessary.

I will pay to not see this annoying ****

Didn't VH1 try this back in the 90s?

I'm on the site through ad blocker. Not a bit of **** gets through it.

Which one are you using? I use 1Blocker, which is normally pretty good, but it’s not working on these.

Use the Firefox browser and the DuckDuckGo search engine. Ads will disappear.

This is one of the only complaints I have about the new board. It’s been awesome otherwise.

Hopefully they will remove it. It takes up too much space on mobile devices.

Yes I can't even see the dang posts from it.
I had add blocker on but it was stopping me from seeing embedded posts from twitter and elsewhere

Ghostery is fantastic on Chrome.

Still showing up in Safari on iPad.

 

[dawgstudent]

I asked them if they could stop it on mobile devices. I don't consider an iPad a mobile device. The phone was my biggest issue.

Show me a screenshot on your iPad. This is on my desktop.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

If it's all the way to the side like that on desktop & zero on mobile that's great.

I noticed that not long after this thread started. You’re a kind Don.

I'm fine with it on desktop or a larger screen like an iPad. It was tough on a phone.
