  5. The small popup ad bar at the bottom has been getting gradually more obnoxious over the last couple of days. First they started playing funny games by alternating which side the X appears. Now the X to get rid of it doesn't appear at all half the time, maybe due to a bug introduced by the aforementioned not-at-all subtle attention trick.
If we can't get rid of the ads on a chapter then that leaves a thing that is designed to be attention-grabbing in our faces, grabbing attention and pulling us out of the story that we are trying to enjoy. It's a good way of encouraging people to turn on their adblockers.

Same thing here. The bottom bar ad banners have become permanent nuisances with no way to remove them.
I want to help keep the lights on, but this is making the site unreadable. I don’t want to switch to computer with Adblock but this is leaving me little choice.

Sorry about this! The issue has been fixed.

If you're still having issues with this, please let me know.

5. Getting ads popping up about once a minute while reading, I haven't even had a chance to scroll down before getting bombarded by these ads... And to add on to this, if you don't press the x before the new one spawns on top of the old one, the old one will no longer be removable without reloading the page.

  5. Ad pops up entirely on its own needing to back away off the page to get rid of. The worst kind of popup.

Sorry about the annoying ad. Can I get the redirected URL that you get redirected to so I can open up a ticket to get this issue resolved?

Bulgaria


On my latest story's page, the first chapter. There is an election banner. The problem is that all politicians in Bulgaria just want to get in office, and then steal as much as they can. So, I honestly don't want to see their banners on my story's page. It is bad enough that I need to go vote, just so I can check out the I don't support anyone option.

I know this site uses ads to support itself, but these people are making me angry, and today is not the only time I have seen such a banner on a chapter of one of my stories. I honestly don't want my stories to be used to advertise these thieves.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. I hope you have a nice day.

I've never seen an ad like that before. That's pretty crazy.

I've opened a ticket with my ad manager. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon. Sorry about that!

edit: Issue was resolved
