Now what?

Perhaps fixed? I see the normal view on my iPad.

Nope. Not yet.

I'm not seeing any of what you all are, I'll keep watching.

It is still there. IPhone, android tablet, and on my elderly Dell Latitude hooked up to a big monitor, the black band is off the right side of the screen unless I move the slidy bar at the bottom. So it is there but less annoying. I think it is the type of ad that has some kind of fancy moving feature to make it move around the text boxes.

Are those of you who are having troubles using any kind of Add Blocking? If it is some kind of add and you aren’t using an add blocker, try installing one and see if it goes away.

I am not having any problems with my android phone (Samsung). But I am using Tapatalk. Someone above said the same about their Apple phone using Tapatalk.

I don't know if I have an Ad Blocker on any of the three devices that this issue is occurring on. I have never had an issue with ads on any of the forums I visit, whether a member or not. This is the first time I have experienced an issue with OTT.

I thought once you became a member here that ads were supposed to be less or none?
(The above comment was in no way intended to be sarcastic or snarky.)

I think Sheepfarmer has it right, a problem with a specific ad. How long do these ads usually run? We will find out when its time is up.

I just use a desk top with FF and an ad blocker. Never seen an ad on OTT.

how are you viewing the site on your tablets and phones? are you viewing the "full site" mode or thru an app?



PS- if you post pics thru an app like tapatalk etc.... make sure asap when in front of a full computer you upload the pics to this boards hard drives. Leaving them to be hosted at the app's hard drives is a disaster in the making.

 

[sheepfarmer]

Full site, no app.

 

[Steve67]

Full site no app. I don’t see any ads in the black, just half the screen is black on the right side

 

[Newlyme]

All three devices, full site, no app.

8:19 pm est, it stopped!!! Eureka, airplane ad gone, black bar gone. Thankyou!!,!

 

[Newlyme]

9:42pm est. Still here for me.

 

[sheepfarmer]

11:15 pm they're back

 

[sheepfarmer]

Huh, gone again??? 11:20.

Try opening the site in desktop mode instead of mobile mode. Ipads, smart phones and such will default to open sites in mobile mode. You will have to use the menu bar on the top right to choose to open in desktop mode. That should fix the problem for you.

I opened forum with tablet, first thread and there it was, clicked on menu bar and desktop, and black bar disappeared. We'll see if it stays less annoying.
Thank you!!!!!

 

[sheepfarmer]

Nope, it entirely depends on whether the airplane ad is playing in the OTT sponsored site.

Back again.

Sheepfarmer,
What I see here is, the black bar on the right side only appears when I open a thread.
When I am on the forum page that list the catagories, (off topic, service and repair, ....), no black bar. Or if I open one of the catagories to view the threads available, no black bar there. The black only appears when I open a thread.
The ad that I see on the thread is Syngenta.
