Discover ad is really intrusive and overly obnoxious


Recommended Posts

i get that it's needed to have advertisements, but this particular one is way over the top. it takes over your whole screen and it's relentless. it happens again and again (like once a minute it seems sometimes) while browsing the forums. it's too much. i hate to complain but idk if you know how intrusive it actually is. Sometimes it even pops up 2 at a time, lol. Then it takes 2 clicks to even get rid only for it to pop back up with turning your whole screen white like a minute later. Sometimes even more often than that. Attaching pictures as an example:

First picture is when it just totally whites out your entire screen when it first pops up. Second is how it stays until you click twice on the down arrow and then x to get rid of it only for it to white your screen out again when it pops back up.

I do not care about the ads.  Get paid.

There have been a few occasions over the past week on my droid or in a browser were the ad covered the whole screen.  It was while trying to reply.  There was no close ability and had to back out.  This lost all message data.

J/K, but it is a pain in the ass.

Next time it happens post a screen print of it. I will have snack media take a look at it.

I did a call with them today they are making some layout changes early next week.

Here's another screenshot of what my screen looks like every 30 seconds to 1 minute it seems. Actually it has happened trwice just while I was typing this response. It's actually worse than it was when I first made this post. It just whites out your entire screen. 

edit: it's especially bad when you are navigating through different threads or whatever. it seems every time you click on something it happens within a couple seconds of the new page loading. so if you are navigating through a few threads, trying to reply etc it can happen sometimes 5-6 times in a minute if you are clicking through different things.
