We are getting complainants from some members about a black bar at the bottom of the page.

Is anyone else having this problem and can anyone help?

Thanks.

Hi britannia

It looks like the black bar is where an advert is located in mobile view. I am seeing the same bar here on Support in mobile view.

Presumably that is if you have ad-free or use an ad blocker?

[Nscalerr 🐺]

The black bar is there for a narrow advert when you use a mobile device to view the forum. Also adverts don't show up in ad-free, so you wouldn't see the black bar, (or any other adverts on your forum).


If members are seeing an empty black bar, can ytou ask if they are using an adblocker??

Btw the use of adblockers is a violation of the ProBoards Terms of Service, so if members are using one, they need to whitelist all the ProBoards sites!

britannia, most likely it's an ad that for whatever reason is not displaying properly. Are you still experiencing this issue?

[britannia]

Hi Scott,

Yes, some of our members are experiencing it.

britannia, after double-checking with our ad team, the black bar is an ad placeholder and sometimes there isn't an ad to fill that spot. We'll look into suppressing the placeholder if there are no ads to show.

Thank you Scott.
