Video ads in sidebar causing page to scroll for ad focus

[NariaDreaming]

., if you can let us know which ad position it's in (above the sidebar or below the sidebar) as well as who the advertiser is in the future, that would be great.

IF you can grab the URL of the ad, even better. These ads are the bane of my existence right now

NariaDreaming, iAM dog food is another ad. Lower ads below the board index.

I had issues with the below the sidebar Sprint ad today. I finished watching it and it continued to scroll back on each replay.

Edited to add it just happened again and I grabbed this. Hope it helps:

laurensc927, how handy are you at computers? Like if I asked you to open the "inspect element" window near an ad, would you know what Im talking about?

[laurensc927]

NariaDreaming I don't know what that is but if you tell me what to look for I'll try to figure it out. I follow directions well

[laurensc927]

NariaDreaming I found it! Tell me what you need.

Inspect the element of any obnoxious ads taht are causing trouble, and take a screen shot of what shows up in the inspect element screen. we should be able to narrow down the ad network based on what shows up there

I just had the Iams dog food one being a jerk for me. It was below the list of boards, the first one below the Amazon scroll thing that has products in a list. Sorry for the highly technical terminology; brain isn't turned on yet for the day.

ETA: I suppose it might be good to tag you, NariaDreaming.

The next time you see that ad, can you inspect the element and get the ad code for the iams ad? They can't block it without it.

I got the same ad (in this thread of all places). I took a screen shot, but I don't know what I need to do to get it to post here. If you walk me through, I'll be happy to help. I kept the whole window open with the ad that is playing and just opened a new one to get back to here in a usable way so I could keep it open and look at whatever you need.

cam, right click on the ad, and scroll down to inspect element. It should open a window with a bunch of code. Drag the window so it's big, and take a screen shot of that.

I have a screen shot, but I don't know how to share that with you as I don't know how to PIP it. Also, it wasn't letting me make the screen bigger, but I can do a few screen shots if needed.

You can upload it to www.imgur.com and then PIP

Grr. It is being dumb. Let's just try it this way; here is some of the text that looks more informative. I will keep that window open, so if you need more, I can get more. Note: I'll add lots of asterisks and spaces so it doesn't try displaying anything or some crazy thing like that.

src*="//*pagead2. googlesyndication. com/ pagead/ show_ads. js" [more blah blah blah]


Hope that offers some insight. I'll be off and on throughout the day, so don't be afraid to ask for more info; it just might take me a bit to respond, but I'll be back eventually to do so.

NariaDreaming for me its these damn sprint ads.

Trying to get the image to work

Hopefully this works:

Hi - just had to track down this thread since the stickied one went away.

The Pur water ad in the sidebar is a frequent offender; today, had a Tervis ad (also sidebar) do the same scroll take-over. I'll try to catch them next time and send you a screenshot.
