New video ads are making site unusable

By Thor

This seems to be a new occurance.

For those of us who have not purchased credits, and therefore still see ads, there are now ads that automatically play a video.

While I don't necessarily mind the ads, they are making the pages unusable.

For example, every time one of these video ads comes up, the page continually auto-scrolls down so that the video is displayed. I can't even scroll back to the top without it auto-scrolling back down.

Sometimes I am able to continually refresh the page until I get an ad that does not contain video, and the p....

(timeout for video ad to play - I couldn't even finish this post)

... and the page works fine.

This is especially frustrating while watching a game in the viewer.

Would it be possible for you to remove the video ads, or is this just something the non-paying users will have to suffer through?

Thanks

I have experienced the same type of problem. It won't let me look at anything from going to team home page, making trades or really anything.

Before I can click on any link to go anywhere on the page, a video ad autoscrolls my page to the bottom. No I do not want to buy a Toyota lol

I'll look into it, I obviously don't want the ads to be intrusive so thanks for letting me know.

It sure would be nice if this could be done quickly.

I was not able to watch my games in MFN 1, 2 or 8 today because of this issue.

I haven't gotten any response from google support (big surprise) but I am able to block individual ads - is it the same ad every time for Toyota?

The video hasn't showed up for me lately anymore, but I think it was some type of car commercial

Any idea when this will be resolved?

The site is completely ...

AD

... unusable for ...

AD

... me right now.

I can't watch games, gameplan, look at standings, etc. Basically, I cannot ...

AD

... do ANYTHING because the screen k...

AD

... keeps scrolling down.


This sucks. So I guess all the work I've put into building my teams is wasted since I can't even gameplan, adjust my depth chart or do anything else.

Oh well, this game has been getting worse instead of improving anyway.

BTW, the ad I saw was for Tire Rack.
