Getting a little popout video to the right too. Pushing us to have to use adblock here.

You. Wouldn't. Dare.

Yeah, really not a fan of floating autoplaying video ads... that and the constant cookie banner are getting me down.

They're meant to be for guests/folks not logged in, still meddling.

Cookie banner is something I have no control over, if its not saving your choice it'll be device specific/something is preventing your save being stored.

Good news on the vids.

I click / tap the deny all option on the cookie banner. No issue with GOT tracking me, it's the advertisers I don't want tracking me.

'Constant' is an inaccurate description I shouldn't have used. I'll have to count the number of page views to get the actual rate, but it's maybe 10 times a day?

Vids shouldnt show if logged in, I just missed off a checkbox for guests and should be no sticky ads at all if forum sub.

Hadn't tried denying all, will try to see if can replicate. I always figure let them/means more targeted ads rather than the really naff ones.

Just experimented clicking into and out of different boards there.

Cookie banner came up once every 10 views.

My 'Reject all' choice should persist longer than that.

This is happening on Mac and iPhone Safari.

Thank you.

I should've mentioned it sooner, the video adjust tipped me over the edge!

Seems to have disappeared. Adblock will remain off, THIS TIME.

They're updating it to ask every 30 days pal, should be sorted soon. Ta for flagging.
