thaibeachlovers Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I am getting a repetitive VDO ad for circ soliel appearing frequently without me clicking on anything. I have to close it every time. This is the WORST sort of advertising TVF has ever participated in. Stop it, NOW, please. BTW, the banner for RIP the King at top of the page obstructs my username. It needs to be moved to the left a bit, please. In a more happy vein, I discovered that the reason for the excruciatingly slow speed of TVF that I was experiencing was because I was using Bill Gates stupid I E. Since I discovered Edge on my computer ( only good thing about W10 ) everything is fine regarding speed and useability. Now, if you can get rid of that horrid VDO ad life on TVF will be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Since that ad came on, TVF has got slow and I can't do anything when the ad is visible. Comes on very frequently. IMO it is scumware, and I hope it is gone when I come back on here. It's impossible to enjoy the TVF experience when a stupid ad keeps coming on and locking my computer up. Obviously I am not the only victim of this atrocious ad. It needs to be sorted soon and NEVER repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HampiK Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 If you have an older computer or a slower internet connection I think it would make normal usage of this website unusable. I am lucky enough, that I have at the moment an OK connection...but still feel disturbed, because this add stays over the text which I would like to read. Because I have a smaller screen......

allane Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 EXTREMELY irritating. It pops up every time I change pages. I am not going to tolerate this for much longer. It is possible to load up any website with so much clutter that potential users stay away. That is what you have now done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech Doctor Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi, Its being tested for impressions at the moment, it will last a few days. The ad auto disappears if you do not click it. It also bypasses ad blockers along with new advertising channels. TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tifino Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) I started up my trusty old Avast SafeZone Browser. A pop up came straight up, asking that ThaiVisa wants permission from me to allow Desktop Notifications. I clicked 'deny' 5 minutes have passed ( at 21:23 AESDT) - so far, so good... UPDATE EDIT: at 21:36 17 minutes have passed, and I see my Chrome etc still cops the Solei, but the Avast safe Browser is not affected I also note that HM's RIP Banner is also missing from the Avast browser I have been running the multiple browsers side by side: Edited November 24, 2016 by tifino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 It also bypasses ad blockers along with new advertising channels. Which is a very good reason for me to stop visiting ThaiVisa.com. Please disable that terrible 'scumware' advert for Cirque de Soleil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tifino Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Another half an hour gone by... It's now 22:07 here, and it looks like the Avast SafeZone Browser has done the trick, for me at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 I hesitate to write this because it might hex it, but the ad only appeared once, when I came on about 20 minutes ago and has not reappeared. If that is because someone did something about it- thank you. It was driving me crazy every 30 seconds or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 What does tested for impressions at the moment mean? This ad is a mistake.There is a good description of "impressions" in the context of online advertising here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impression_%28online_media%29?wprov=sfla1Sent from my Nexus 5X using Thaivisa Connect mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it seems that if the ad appears a zillion times with or without my actually wanting to see it they make lots of money, whereas if I have to click on it to see it and don't they don't make money. If that is right I hope we are not going to have any repeats, because it was making me crazy. So far, not seen the scummy thing, HURRAH. Hope that isn't speaking too soon.

Somtamnication Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Nope, it is a continuous "show". Seen it so many times, it would be a waste of money to (hi there, Mr. Video) go see the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Doctor Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hi, Yes this was removed due to the advertiser having issues with the viewing cap. It should have only played once per session. TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
