    To block all ads on your phones goto your setting and disable java scripts. Boom! No ads ever.

    3D Cube has been destroyed! completely broke our ad spec so I brought this up with the provider who had this removed.

    Extremely sorry for this break in our normal service.

    Please let me know if there is anything else.

    @EMarkM

    This is next on my hit list.

    I have been having trouble trying to find full details on this as well as see it on the live site.

    Does it auto play? or fill the screen?

    I have made a note with the provider of the ad that TGI should be removed so I expect this to be gone momentarily however if they need more details that would be appreciated.

    Many thanks! and if there is anything else I can do please let me know. Your enjoyment of the site/forum is a priority.

    @bennyw01 It's a "pull to expand" banner that appears at the top of an iPhone page and covers up all the important buttons in Mobile View :(

    Plus, it does tend to judder around the screen a bit, making a right nuisance of itself.

    Cheers :)

    Any reason why you can't pay a sub to get a non-advert hell version of the site?

    The Chav Pub ad in mobile is extra-fucking insulting. Stay classy EG.

    I'm sure it must often be debated at regular staff meetings, but here's another vote for a subscription model.

    I get a lot of joy out of EG; it's my main go-to site for just about everything. I certainly wouldn't mind paying an annual (or one-off) subscription to remove all ads from my time here.

    I hate that idea.
    But I hate the clumsy, intrusive, shouty ads more...

    I'm real happy to pay the Giantbomb guys not to be subjected to ads less fucking terrible than this sites. Seems to give them freedom to make great content too.

    Yep. The amount of use I get out of EG, I'd pay a sub if it got portable view back for tablets. Especially now the site is blocked on the work firewall!
  • Deleted user 27 December 2013 22:52:55
    I went ahead and made a thread to see if there's support for a sub = no adverts / portable view. Maybe if enough people support it they'll listen?

    Anyway, link...

    That's not how it works. The ads are put on by another company. They aren't supposed to put stuff that fills the screen, causes major performance issues and crashing, or redirects you automatically to Candy Fraud Saga. They still do though.
  • Deleted user 29 December 2013 13:50:53
    Heh. Guess we're stuck with TGI BASTARD CHRISTMAS until 'tis no longer the season, eh?

    The correct amount of money has no doubt changed hands...

    At least it doesn't get in the way of site functionality by blocking buttons, or automatically open as I scroll, or indeed block the very text I'm typing right now. Wait, it's doing all 3.

    Yeah, if you're going to leave a frustrating in-your-mobile-face advert running right over Christmas that's definitely the one to go for.
