Definitely appreciate those of you who allow our ads to be seen so that the site can generate money and continue running!

Definitely do not want ads to be that obnoxious though. We'll work on that, but like Lax said, I do not think we changed anything on our end that would have caused the ads to grow in size.

Is there a Varsity Club option that's feasible for those of us who want to support the site and not see ads?

I'm gonna keep running Ad Blocker, but in the past I've donated periodically to the IE Go Fund Me. I just checked and it looks like the link was removed here: https://www.irishenvy.com/threads/irish-envy-gofundme.2977750/ Is this still up and running? I'd prefer to continue giving the money to you guys directly so I can avoid the ads.

I'll look into it, I don't spend much time on Safari, I know on PC how its set up and I would say the ads are less obtrusive than any other sports site.

I get them all the time, but just scroll past them.

Chrome user here and the strange ones in the middle of the thread list are brutal.

I thought it was just me, I use Chrome and the ads have been unbearable today, there are way more and they are all huge

It's definitely scuffed. I don't think anyone made changes to any settings, and we may need to hire someone to look into it and fix it.

IrishLax · Mar 8, 2024

We have confirmed that no one touched anything, so now we need to hire someone to fix it (unless anyone here is a website/IT pro and wants to do us a favor) because we have no idea why our front page is as of yesterday overflowing with ads. Hopefully fix it in a few days.

OR what if I choose to believe this is all part of IE's St. Patrick's Day saleathon?!?!?!!

I suddenly have the mental image of Lax in a Bob Rohrman style tv commercial.

Ads have stopped showing up in the middle of the threads on the home page for me today. I thought y'all fixed it. I personally can deal with the oversized one on the top rather than IE incur a cost to make it smaller.

Chiming in with 0 webpage knowledge. Is there a chance it’s on the ad provider’s side and not something to be changed on the IE side? I’ll sit down and shut up now.

Front page is currently a disaster from my view. Things seemed a bit better earlier today but now as bad as it was last night.

Yeah after more research today it appears that the issue is with Google and how they are serving the ads which is fucking up formatting and leading to Google thinking it needs to shove a bunch of ads in other places where they don’t belong.

If I had a dime for every time I shoved something where it did not belong…

Is there anyone still having the problem? It’s fixed on my end

Good on my end

Seems back to normal for me as well. Thanks for looking into it so promptly and getting it corrected.

Mine is still jacked up

On my home PC using Chrome, I'm getting them in the middle of a page. The top ad is now taking up almost all of the screen on my iPhone.

Ok so not fixed for you or giddyup. I’m on safari right now and no issues, PC chrome no issues. Will look into it more tomorrow.

Edit: nvm back to being effed for me too

Yeah it appears I spoke too soon earlier. It’s messed up again.

StPaul_Irish · Mar 10, 2024

Using Chrome on my phone, and it's messed up for me. Thanks mods for looking into it

NDdomer2 · Mar 11, 2024

Seems like it comes and goes

Like a bad case of herpes…. so I’ve been told.

I'm guessing it is issues with particular ads and/or Google Adsense in general.

I'm going to take a look at our Adsense account tonight if I can. Might also be worth sending Adsense a trouble request or something.
