LostInBigBear, that is GREAT to hear! We made a global viewport setting change that we are hoping shrinks these ginormous ads. 👍

Well said McToddy! Its also related to the CMS base code from 2004 😒
We have tested Doggies setting in Android Chrome (check DESKTOP site box) and it does seem to improve things.

The ad situation is a lot better…thanks SCM

Holeinbow Thanks, BVE says power restored but still nothing at the house.

just trying to provide some additional context so people can have a better understanding of things...

Im pretty sure the ads you see are not driven by SCM itself, but rather those ads are served via 3rd party. SCM doesn't chase down individual companys like Kohler to sponsor SCM... that's too much leg work. That leg work is handled by the 3rd party. The particular ads you see are handled by web tracking (I don't see Kohler, I see other stuff -- this is a whole other subject). What SCM may be able to do is discuss with the 3rd party how ads are presented (i.e., negotiate how much screen real estate the 3rd gets to use for the ad rev that SCM will receive.)

There are options you can do, such as installing ad-blocking tools like AdGuard or Pi-Hole, which block all ads, not just ads from SCM

Just my 2 cents

Great things to try Doggie.. Before any users try those settings, please see if the problem is better now as we JUST made a change to some viewport settings which we are hoping will help the humongous ad issue.

Kohler is still at it...

Anybody have power back on between Boulder bay and Metcalf bay?.

You guys on tablets and phones, if you can, try switching to the desktop site. It seems to be a bit better than mobile. The ads stay a more reasonable size. In a Chrome browser, click the three dots in the upper right, scroll down to "Desktop site" in the drop-down menu and check the box.

Gonna try something hib, stand by. This may or may not help.

Ad is ruining looking at socalmountains when we need it most.

Benny,samsung tablet thats behaving like its wet, (it's not wet) and the kohler plumbing ad dominates everything...doesnt act up on any other site...
