Social Media Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I get it this place survives on Ads but the banner at the top isn't a moneymaker it looks like in-house stuff. It's the wrong size and is too big for the content in portrait mode and landscape it covers the name of the site and obscures key navigation ! What a sloppy unprofessional image that displays, doesn't anyone care or have any pride in this site. Look at these ........... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorecard Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) I'm also getting continuous ads in the bottom right hand corner of my screen, about 11 cm long and 3.5 cm high, also obscuring nagigation and covering my responses, as I type, to TV threads. But to be honest I don't know if these ads are generated my ThaiVisa or are they generated my some other entity? Any suggestion to remove them / stop them appreciated.

Social Media Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 The Ad content is generated by others but the placement isn't, that's in house stuff. They seem to not care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnock Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Agree. That banner add makes it very difficult to navigate the forum. And now when I try to search 'Activity' on my mobile I get a full screen ad that cannot be closed, so cannot use the menu or see the content. I know ads are needed to maintain a free site, but the implementation is very poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
URMySunshine Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I'm getting a persistent one on the left that continues with other applications and doesn't appear to have a close x button. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have a close button, but you have to hover your cursor just above the top right hand corner of the ad for it to appear. Only closes it temporarily, though! It will reappear after a short while, and immediately you navigate to a new page. I know this site needs ad revenue to function; but there's already ads all the way down the right hand side of the page; why do we have to suffer these persistent pop ups as well? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Yep, I sent a complaint to the ladies that do the admin stuff who said that they would pass my comments onto management, obviously Management is not listening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still happening 19 Feb. Plus another one now appearing on the left corner, but bigger, a video (often video of the Indian PM making a speech), and no facility to mute or reduce the sound or to cancel the video. Very annoying. To TV support and mods, I'm assuming that the package you own / run to conduct the TV website allows you to control what's appears on screen, please take a look, please stop these annoying items which block your members / viewers from seeing what TV puts out and hinders writing answers / writing comments etc. Thanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have little doubt that either google (or similar) or TV sell ad space to others, that's sensible modern business. But I guess your saying that 'someone' is in control of where these ads can appear on screen, how big they can be / dimensions / shape / how long they can appear, etc., so that they don't interfere with the main purpose of the site. That's logical. So we come back to the point about just who 'controls' all of the above? If it's ThaiVisa then please TV bring it under the correct controls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing is not life threatening, it's not the end of the world, but it is annoying. I have 'reported' my last 2 posts to the TV support team, hopefully someone will look at it.

Popular Post 7by7 Posted February 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2020 This topic has been running since 23rd Jan; no response at all from Admin nor Mods!

taninthai Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 That add that blocks the navigation icons must have been like it for two years makes the site unusable on my iPhone mods aware of it nothing ever done about it. i replied to a thread today started in aug 2019 about this video add running in bottom right hand corner ,,,,I just started getting it today????????????seems that thread has been ignored by mods/site developers for 8 months. check out these screenshots how I try to post with this video add covering the text box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ade Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) ^ Truly awful from the mods, not used the site for a couple of months, just came back on it to catch up, it is completely un-usable and will revisit again in a couple of months. On my PC ive got about 25% of the screen Not covered in ads / vids. Being a web designer it is just upsetting to see! ???? ????
