bannork Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Got the same problem, it's very annoying, almost stopped reading Thai Visa on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkk Brian Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Same on my phone, I thought I had a virus infection on it, so reading this I can now see its a deliberate pop up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Wheel of misfortune? Started this morning and a real showstopper. Looks like a baddie has slipped through the net. I hope the boffins have been rushed into action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchWrapSupreme Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Here it is. I'm also getting it on my phone. It makes the site unusuable. Clearing cookies and blocking redirects doesn't work. Only workaround is making my phone browser go into desktop mode. It's definitely whatever company AN is going with to display ads on the bottom pop up tab, the one that slides like a drawer. Right after it pops up I'm sent to the wheel. They need to be contacted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got exactly the same problem, now this website is 100% un-useable on my mobile phone. All fine until opening a thread then 3 seconds after that this full page spam comes and the whole page is blocked with no option to close the spam advert and return to the page. I am guessing this is not being done intentionally? Still working fine as usual on my pc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was very annoying on my phone my PC not a problem but it's gone now. Good to see the tech guys jump on stuff and ads don't generally bother me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiexpat Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) A week ago I was ready to give up this forum due to all the ads popping up everywhere...today they seem to have all gone Did Asean listen to all the above complaints ????

Puccini Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Perhaps the owners of ASEANNOW saw traffic and advertising income going down, perhaps the SEO rating was slipping, and perhaps they brought in sombody to clean up the act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiexpat Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Ridiculous situation. I was annoyed with ads do installed Samsung ad blockers, then I read that if ad blockers installed every click would be delayed by 20 seconds Unusable either way, with ads or with adblocker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiexpat Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 This is ridiculous now, full page ads when you click on every forum topic....what a joke, you get paid because you force our phone to go there, even though we hate it and don't read it...ad investors are definitely ripped off because they think we actually clicked on their ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe your on mobile. I get no ads on PC and i don't use TV on mobile anyway, but i'm sure you can stop them?
