Quoted from grimsby pete
I am on windows 8.1 and on the bottom of the screen I can click on READ,

Once I have decided which story I want to read about I click onto READ,

Then the page just shows the story without any adds,

I complained to the telegraph ages ago,

BUT

They have done nothing to make their site readable.


I'm on 8.1 and never noticed that. Will have a look.

Aren't these adverts pay-per-click? Can't imagine many people actually click on adverts they see on the internet anyway.

I know that I occasionally click that Muslim Dating one that appears on the fishy from time to time but thats about it.

I thought I was the only one who got the Muslim Dating ones. Used to get a lot of Russian brides ones too.

That's where the telegraph is making its money,

You just have to pass an ad and it pops up,

Then the telegraph says , " we have had 6 million clicks today."

The pop-up ads are annoying, but it's the unfolding and collapsing ads that really do my head in. You begin reading and without touching anything the text you were reading has been pushed off the screen.

You scroll down and - nope, there it goes again.

Finally when you begin reading, the ad has played out and collapses, pulling all your text up and off the page.

So up you scroll...

MASSIVE AD

One sentence

MASSIVE AD

MASSIVE POP-UP AD

Two lines (if you're lucky)

MASSIVE AD

The rest of the article, with random words underlined as hyperlinks to obscure sites.

I only click them because I assume in doing so it supports the forum, no other reason
