Questions for Freak

Anyone else getting a circle with a padlock on screen when viewing on iPhone? It’s annoying.

 

[Freak]

Ya, I just noticed after I posted that I only made it to page two before asking

Edit: I did say I’m challenged

No worries. I had the same reaction when I first saw it. It's aggravating.

Seeing it in Chrome using a laptop as well. Some kind of data & privacy settings button.

 

[Freak]

add me to the list

Everyone is seeing it right now and probably will for a few days, but I'm working on getting it moved to a privacy link instead.

What's that? It's strange. Only pops up when I scroll toward the bottom of the page (android)

*disregard, I just saw your comments

Yeah. Freak said it would be gone in a day or 2.

See above. It's a privacy policy from our new ad provider. Basically, giving you the option for targeted ads or generic ads. I told them I wasn't all about this floating logo and they're going to fix to a simple link in the footer instead. However, it will probably be Monday before it get fixed. It only shows when you scroll to the bottom, but it bugs me too.

 

[Freak]

In the meantime, I created a little extra space at the bottom so it will float a bit more out of the way when navigating pages and replying to posts... hopefully.

What is this BS right here?
Did I accidentally add it?
How do I make it go away?

Between that and the push notification bar……I think I want a refund.

 

[JacketVol]

@Freak why does this orange circle with a lock floating around on the site?

Annoying.

There's a thread in the help forum about it. It's a privacy thing from our new advertisers. I've complained and they're supposed to send me an alternative solution the first of the week.

They must’ve slid the ads down a little. I’ve noticed a few times hitting the notification bell that an ad will pop up.

It’s really quite annoying.
