Noticed on a couple of occasions that an advert gets misplaced while using the site on a mobile device.
Not sure if this happens with everyone, or just me? But I’ve attached a screenshot showing the odd placement of an advert. A couple of page refreshes and a different ad pops up in the right place.
If that’s the only solution, I’ll live with the odd placement issues.
Browse a number of sites on my 45, and having to use “Tapatalk” for one is going to be a pain. I believe you’re the only forum that I’m a member of who use it, it’s been ditched by the rest for “taking over the screen” or something?

Myself and Diesel Dave have a meeting on Monday at HQ regarding TruckNet UK. Will raise this then
What time is this meeting?
Can you please put up a notice on the general forum as the motorcade will cause we hard working truckers delays.
P.S. I find TapATalk easier on my small phone screen.
Sorry about this. We haven’t made any changes to the TruckNet ad placements for a while so not sure why it has started happening. I’m assuming that not all adverts are doing this?
In the meantime I see two of the four screengrabs show the same advert, so I have blocked this advertiser. Hopefully that will help if they are one of the main offenders.
Without posts like this you wouldn’t know about the issue.
90% of the time the adverts behave and appear where they should. I’m not sure how you call the adverts, whether they’re from a database or text file, or whether it’s a third party provider? I know you can override placements and styles from elsewhere.

Still doing it on my phone, different ad this time.

Mine had been fine since but just had a new one pop up
I see these ads on occasion too. But another thing. Sometimes, just now and again, when I click a post to read I see a file being downloaded to my phone, normally a .swf file, whatever that is, which I then just delete unopened. Anyone else getting this?
JDClark:
OK, I’ve made a change to the Pro Drivers Forum which I’m really hoping will fix this. If it works OK then I will do the same on the other forums.
The only downside is that occasionally the ads might not appear at all - I know this will come as a disappointment to many.
Please let me know how you get on with Pro Drivers…
Took a couple more screen grabs the other day, but never got around to uploading them.
However, saying that, I don’t think I’ve seen any out of place adverts for a day or so.
