Video banners close to nav. bar

Is it just me, and my old mac book, or do others have the problem that the advertising banners just below the navigation bar accidentally activate when trying to get the cursor to the navigation bar, covering up the navigation bar in the process, or that when the page loads the cursor is on the banner so the video starts.
I have to make a conscious effort to move the cursor around the outside of the banners, If I try to quickly roll over the banners the cursor actually stops on the banner.
Or is it a conspiracy so the website owners can tell their advertisers "We had X number of users open your ad."

Another solution which is less tedious is to become a forum sponsor which makes those advertising banners disappear.

As Cuppa said become a sponsor

Yeah sorry mate I don't see any Advertising. Sponsorship supports the forum and kills the advertising. Win win.

Haha! I just read the last bit. I assure you it is not a conspiracy by any means! Most active members are sponsors so no advertising there. I'm not sure there is any real revenue gained from the pop up adds either unfortunately, I think that's done by the software host. A few years ago we dumped Tappatalk because the Ads were its and no revenue but reinstated it this year simply to help members with photo management. No revenue though.

This forum is not Corporate like some of the other big ones, this is owned by AB the Admin. Soley.

OK so are the member sponsorship details up to date?
I went there before the original post but it says about removing the side bar (not the issue I have), to send the money to AB (I read earlier that the site had a new owner), the page does not even match the rest of the forum site. Was going to send the money but am cautious as a few things did not add up.
Graham
p.s. Sorry for post in wrong area. I thought I had posted original post in general discussion.

Hi Graham,

Thanks for your support mate, yes the website has two types of layouts which may confuse things. One is the main website and the other layout is vbulletin which runs the forum.

The link for the information on sponsorship is here.

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/sponsorship.html

Most members don't mind the side bar adverts as that is our main direct sponsors but I can remove that for specific sponsors if they want.

The change of ownership you read might've been an old April fools gag I played on the members a while back I think lol

I stopped using tapatalk because it was jammed up with ads then when I tried to log back in it wouldn't let me so now I'm just on here via safari ( Google search ) but it's hard to use & I can't find anything , what does everyone else use ? I'm happy to become a sponsor & contribute to ABs high flying lifestyle 😝 if that helps me access it better ?

I use tappatalk, as do a lot of others. It was disabled for a while but works now. I don't see any ads on tappa

Edit: occasionally there are small ads at the bottom but they aren't the colourful pop up crappy ones

Yeh I use Tapatalk as well, small adds every now an then but not a big deal - access and photo uploading heaps easy with it when using phone

Edit: Being a sponsor makes no difference to the view via Tapatalk, however it's still worthwhile doing to support AB in keeping this place going

I access the forum using Safari without any issues, might be because I’ve learned my way around over time, but seems on a par with most other forums I visit. Each has it’s own little quirks. As a sponsor the appearance is much ‘cleaner’ being virtually ad free & completely free of distracting & annoying moving banners & pop ups (& even AB’s christmas lights can be turned off once you’ve grown tired of the smashing them at full volume in order to irritate the wife!).

This is how I see it using Safari. (2 pics)

Thanks Taslucas , I'll give Tapa another go . Yeah Cuppa via Safari on the iPhone I can get to different layouts - 1 same as you show & another , if I didn't have such a deep seated hatred for computers I'd have a look at it on the laptop & see what it looks like - I tend to want to frisbee the laptop so the wife keeps me away from it .

Yeah I use Safari on the iPhone for all my forum access but use Atappa whenever I want to upload a pic. It's a winner for pics as I used to use photobucket but it was a hassle.

In install Tappa and reinstall it and go for it.

I feel the same about using a phone to access the net ........ in fact I don’t, I have data turned off on my phone & just have an Aldi pre-paid doohickey for calls.

Damn, now I'm getting video banner adds on the iPad. Appearing at the bottom of the screen and reappear each time I scroll down.
Only on the iPad, PC and laptop are ok.

Only started last night, AB what have you done?

Sorry don't know how to do that on an iPad. If I click anywhere on the screen the banner disappears, if I click on the banner it goes to a video add. Never had this before and only happens on the forum.
Are you able to screen shot Plasy?

Hey Jack, to screenshot you need to hold the home button and the power button at the same time for about 1 second.

Thanks Winnie, that gives me a few options including 'copy' but how do I save it?

Here you go, and again thanks Winnie I learnt something new today (probably forgot 1,000).
Already owned an XTrail and don't need any adds for it.

First time I've had these and I mostly use the iPad. They don't just stick to the bottom but actually can move to the middle of the screen.
Just charging the iPad now but will try another screen capture later.

I'm not talking about this type of add but a floating video add that starts a video when you click anywhere on it, and it's only on the iPad.
