    In the last few days to a week at most, every page change, full page ad.

    Is it a site decision to allow these ?
    Don't really want to go ad blocker on here but it is a bit of a ball ache.

    Aran knitwear is their focus on me for some strange reason. Very unlikely.

    Yeah, it’s a fairly frequent occurrence when changing pages on the web version. There’s another annoying one when you return to a main forum page where an add rises up from the bottom and takes up about 1/4 to 1/3 of the screen [edit: may have exaggerated this slightly actually ... just hopped onto the laptop... maybe 1/8 of the screen].

    It seems as if these only started in the last couple of weeks.

    What is a particular gear grinder about the full page newbie is when I click it away, the View First Unread option also vanishes, and that VFU function is a lovely feature of footdot. Little but very user handy thing.

    Google changed the AdSense settings a couple weeks ago, I scanned and clicked through as I didn't see anything untoward. I'll check both the site and the settings later today or tomorrow. Sorry, if I'd known I wouldn't have enabled it.

    Seems to be "vignette ads", I've disabled them now. Would've doubled my revenue according to Google, probably halve my audience into the bargain.

    Thanks, I'm not seeing them anymore so far at least.

    Gone, yes.

    Noticed a new drop down style one at the top earlier but not intrusive & not all the time.

    Let me know if anything becomes a problem. While I want to earn a few quid to cover the cost, I don't want to tick people off.
