Getting a little frustrated with an Amazon Ad that I'm being directed to on nearly every visit the past week or so. It takes you completely out of the forum to a new page and the back button doesn't work to return. I know sometimes you can't control how some of the ads work, but this one seems more like a scam.

I keep getting the same thing. Most definitely a scam.

Does it take you to Amazon or some other website? If it is indeed Amazon, how is it a scam as opposed to bad coding?

Im getting emails from something that looks like Amazon telling me my orders have been cancelled when in fact I haven't ordered anything recently. There are people out there that can make a site look legit but in reality, they arent.

I got this a couple of times today. I assume anything like this is a scam. I suppose there is a chance that some very small fraction of the time it isn't a scam, but I'd rather miss out the one time it isn't a rip off than have my identity stolen 94 times.

I agree! :angelic:

These new "Ads by >" videos are making reading these forums impossible to read. I'll be in the middle of reading Spirit's assessment of TDR or how Star Wars: GE should never been in DL, and the page will jump around. Then I have to scroll up and down trying to figure out where the content that I was reading jumped to...super annoying!

I've been attempting to isolate them, proving difficult.

Same here with the video ads you can't turn off.
 

Register on WDWMAGIC. This sidebar will go away, and you'll see fewer ads.
