AdSense Pop-ups at the Bottom on Mobile
Below the regular parts of the board, and this is only on my phone, I get a bunch of pop-ups of both ads and thumbnails for other boards stretched across the bottom of my screen. Is this meant to be occurring? I have a screenshot that I’ll try to add-in momentarily. Here are a couple:
It definitely wasn’t there this morning, and I am comparing what I see on my phone to my school-owned laptop, so the ads may have been blocked just on it?

Re: AdSense Pop-ups at the Bottom on Mobile
Those aren't popups. Those are just regular inline ads, similar to some I have seen on other sites. I wasn't aware that Thor was going to add them, but they do appear to be intentional.
Edit: I just realized there are mobile ads here at RSF, as well as other premium boards. I'll email Thor and see if he realizes this.

Re:
Hello,
I'm told there's a premium board that is showing ads.
What is the address of the board?
Thanks.
I tweaked some Google Adsense settings yesterday and might have activated something bad. I reverted most of the tweaks now.
At any rate, a premium board should not display any ads.

Every premium board, as far as I know. Messup's screen shot is from this board, which has a boatload of premium.

Re: AdSense Pop-ups at the Bottom on Mobile
Hmmm... I just checked my board (billusia) on my phone, and there aren't any ads there. I wonder why this board and TRD have them. I'll check some more boards and report back here.
For the record, Messup and I are both on iPhone with Safari, but I don't think that matters?

Re: AdSense Pop-ups at the Bottom on Mobile
I checked the settings on RSF, TRD, and Illusia, and they are all set to not show ads to logged out users, which is how I am looking at these boards on my phone. I don't understand why RSF and TRD are showing ads, but Illusia is not.

Re:
I disabled all ads on all boards.
They were barely making any money anyway.

Re: AdSense Pop-ups at the Bottom on Mobile
All ads? Even the non-mobile ones?
I guess it's back to the drawing board.

Re: AdSense Pop-ups at the Bottom on Mobile
I use an LG android phone and saw text ads above the nav-bar and below the bottom-info line of my premium boards. I don't mind the text ads appearing in those areas even when it is a premium board, though it would be better if the ads only appeared in just one of those locations. I would be annoyed with ads such as the ones Messup showed on his screenshots because in my mind the premium "no ads" should always apply to the graphical box type ads no matter what platform is being used to access a community message board.
