OK I think I have found the one ad slot that is doing it. I have switched that off. Thank you for your patience and help with this, I appreciate it.

Is anyone else still getting this or just me?

 

[Chief]

Not me - does deleting the BigFooty cookies work?

A few weeks ago there were some very aggressive adds that would take over the screen. I suspect that had something to do with it.

Still getting it regularly. No ad blocke. Android 14 with Chrome browser.

Still getting the ad problem. Works fine on my tablet, but on my laptop with chrome I am still having a lot of trouble with the ad making bigfooty unusable.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Have turned off ad Block and it still does it.

Strapping Young Lad There's a post I linked with the process to get some info about the BF cookies in your browser if possible.

I do not know what is causing it, so I can't say how long until it is fixed.

Delete the cookies is the only fix I have for anyone right now.

Unless someone can email me a copy of their BigFooty cookies - support@bigfooty.com - so we can see what the problem is.

1. Hit F12 or Right-click page and Inspect to open the Developer Tools
2. Click the Application Tab (which used to be called Resources)
3. Open Cookies on the left, select your site/domain (one at a time if you have multiple - different ad networks might have dropped cookies)
4. Double-click cookie column Value Or order by size to see the largest.
5. CTRL/Command + C or Right-click and select Copy
6. You could even just screen grab the list ordered by size? Anything would be a help.

Have emailed.

I deleted all cookies the other night and it’s been fine.
