2 pop-up adds in particular
TappedOut forum
Posted on June 27, 2024, 5:42 p.m. by Icbrgr
There are two advertisements that I have noticed that not only pop up but outright takeover my screen while I'm typing/commenting/editing; by take over I mean I have to click the back button on my browser to get rid of it. Most of the time its just a minor inconvenience but sometimes I swear sometimes it will happen multiple times within a few minutes and it particularly makes deck editing kinda tough.
I only notice this issue when im at a decktop computer... I just thought I'd shine some attention to the issue.
Help:
If anyone else experiencing this could help by capturing a screenshot and posting it here it might help admins fix this.
No I dont use anything like that regardless; I figured it was worth reporting something that was outright disruptive to the site... kinda like when there was a time when advertisements made the playtester unusable awhile back after it was brought up it got fixed.

Definitely good to mention it, it's important to try to keep ontop of potentially malicious activity and negative experiences, can't rely on ad revenue if said ads just shut people out. Alternatively, monthly supporter means you can disable all ads through a settings option on your profile.
yeaGO might need more information before anything can be done about these particular ads.

Normally there is a variety of ads that are in "windows" on the top/bottom and sides of the site and that just is what it is I get it.... but sometimes Macafee and Norton ads just go too far by outright interrupting me when im trying to type... those ads in particular take me off tappedout and to there ad and the only way to "recover" is to either click the back button on the web browser close/reopen tappedout in another tab.
I dont really recall this ever happening when im on mobile....but it certainly happens when im at a desktop computer (I typically bounce between 3 different desktop computers throughout the week)... I spend tons of time surfing the web on using other sites and this only happens when im here on tappedout.

If you are on Windows, pressing the Windows Key + Shift + S will start a "snip". You can then drag and select a box, and whatever it inside that box will be stored to your clipboard, and you will get a Snipping Tool notification in the bottom left. Either click the notification, or open paint and press Ctrl+V (paste) to get a saveable image, that you can then upload to imgur or wherever.

I sometimes get what I think is the same thing, my malware blocker is triggered by it, so the page doesn't load, but I still have to go back to the previous page. That's pretty obnoxious obviously!
This is the page I keep getting sent to, you need to deal with this or I think you're going to lose people, as this is coming up fairly often.

Are you using any kind of ad-blockers or similar plugins? I use Firefox for my personal desktop & mobile devices, & Chrome for stuff at work (because I have to), and I run uBlock Origin, Ghostery, & AdNauseum to get rid of most advertisements.
I know Tapped Out has the AdBanish feature for Supporters as well, but the plugins mentioned above also do the trick across each browser I use. I run all of the above plugins on all of my mobile & desktop browsers & haven't had any issues.
