Obnoxious "Blank" banner ad breaking quick reply - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Clipdat · 03-06-2017, 05:23 PM

This banner advertisement keeps kicking my typing cursor out of the quick reply field. It causes the quick reply field to "lose focus" and then my keys are no longer being entered as I type.

It's just a blank banner with a strange white play button and circle in it that never does anything or seems to load. But, it is pretty problematic and annoying and seems to be breaking a basic function of the forum.

doubt there is much that they can do about it. The banner ads are all chosen for you based upon your history. Probably just a broken ad. Try searching for pictures of Mustangs and you should get a whole new set. If to search enough things with "sexy" in the title you will get loads of ads for Russian mail order brides.
Or you can click in the corner of the ads at have at least some control over them.

Like Tcoat stated, it's prob do with your side as those ads look through your history. (recently for me is soccer cleats)

You gotta stop search porn, my friend.
