Seriously! A popup from the bottom of the screen that activates on every single new page, i hope this is a bug because it's hugely annoying.

Somehow it is bypassing adblock as well. Not for long though, hopefully I can nuke it with a bit of digging.

Yup, incredibly repetitive and pointless. Seems to be the new standard.

What is this rubbish? It's not even relevant to me, and when I click to make it go away it just comes back again.

Incredibly annoying, especially as I can't sell a car in the UK when I'm in Sweden.

Could Haymarket manage to squeeze any more ads in?

top, bottom, right, pop up, slide up, full page.

Madness.

I came here to post just this - it's something that irritates the hell out of me on the BBC Website too...

Maybe worth trying ublock?

This and many other websites are eminently more friendly with firefox plus ublock, ghostery and noscript.

This has now been toned down and should only show a few times before disappearing.

ABP and Ghostly are my friends! No adverts, no banners, nothing but a clean forum to actually allow me to browse!

If you are using those then right click on the banner and select block element, press create on the new little box and then no more stupid banner on every page.

Seriously PH, are you actually trying to piss people off? It's working and if you really think this will make people suddenly think "Oh thanks for the reminder, I forgot I was meant to be selling the car" then you have zero clue how successful advertising works.

+1.

Have already stopped viewing PH from my tablet as I can no longer resize - and now even more ads!
