iinm, ads served by Google is based on your profiling.

new devices are more likely to get such ads.

I was using a new device and started getting these ads. it wasn't happening on my old device.

what you can do:
* report those ads.. that English one I could click X on the banner ad that appeared on LYN forum. after that, it's no longer appearing

* another method is to disable JavaScript for now

I had this on my new device:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


luckily this ad seems to be broken, but managed to still report it by clicking X.

This is incredibly annoying as it happens only on this forum  mad.gif
I've tried everything, clearing chrome app data and cache, resetting advertisement ID, clearing google app data and cache, clearing browsing history, running anti virus apps and none remove this stupid popup. Someone from lowyat forum please fix this!  bangwall.gif  vmad.gif  mad.gif

just checking.. new device?

also, I think clearing browser history, etc might make it worse.

the ads are served by Google owned company and it's based on your profiling. I only got these ads on my new device.

Affected user reporting in. I think is better for us to state what phone and what scenarios did these ads appear.

Phone: HTC 10
Connectivity: WiFi & Mobile Data
Occurrence: Only on forum.lowyat.net

is this a new device or just factory wiped recently?

you guys might also want to check your Google Settings under go settings -- Google. if ad personalIzation not enabled, I suspect likely to get more such ads.

New device, edited my post with more of my phones. Happened to my old old HTC One M7 and HTC One M8 also. The M7 was reset a few months ago, and the M8 was reset early January

can you check settings - Google -- ads and see if you have ad personalization enabled?

for me.. I'm only getting these ads on my new device.. that I just started using yesterday.

my old device.. no such issues.

anyway, I know disabling JavaScript will stop these ads but it might also cause the website you're browsing not to work properly.

More information needed, we can pro-actively block the particular ad, but i haven't been able to reproduce the issue on my nexus and s7.

I think you need to try using a new device. disable Google ad personalization. and.. maybe use new amount on LYN since iinm, admin/ mod may have different views in the forum.
