Did the Ads Recently Change on this Site (New Pop Ups)

[Morrus]

Same here. The video pop-ups disappeared for a while (both on my phone and my desktop/laptop) but now they are back. The pop-up banner has persisted. I just now noticed that the video pop-up will return even if I do nothing and just leave the EN World tab open.

Could you show me a phone screenshot please? Then I can show it to the ad network folks. I’m unable to replicate that myself.

I’m asking about phones. Maybe I’m saying it wrong.

No. I just wasn't sure if it was cleared up on PCs. I know you're working on it and it's not my intention to be on your back about this.

I just tried the browser to see what it's like. I went to www.enworld.org homepage as if I was visiting the site for the first time.

There is a long static add on the left that goes about 1 page down. There's the internal Tabletop RPG Talk ad. There's another ad right below that. There's rather large banner ad at the bottom. There's another ad on the right of the screen similar to the one on the left. And then in the right header beside the enworld logo there is another ad. Then if you scroll down past some of the D&D links on the left there's 2 more ads on the left. Though it was amusing to see the left, middle and bottom banner add all being for H&R block at the same time.

Took the screenshot and posted it below because you really need to see it to believe it. It's reminiscent of some of the early 2000's ad inundated sites.

Honestly, if I was a new to enworld and stumbled across the homepage looking like this, i'm probably moving along and never returning.

I don’t seem to be getting the video ads on my phone (iPhone, Safari). Just the banner:

But this is what it's looking like for me on my laptop (Chrome):

@Morrus, you keep focusing on phones. Does that mean that the bottom banner and side popup are going to be permanent on computers in the form that they are in now?

Here is a blown up screen shot from my cell - no video this time. However, the banner at the bottom is still there and blocking functionality.

The pop-ups come up occasionally for me, here's a screenshot. EDIT: Just to be clear this is a screenshot from my phone.

Just to be clear, Morrus is just asking for screen shots on mobile devices as I understand it.
