Banner across page

[jackglick]

how do I get rid of the banner that is across the page.? It scrolls as you scroll.

I also want to know.

I’ll just take a break from DIS until this is fixed (my little protest).

Do either of you have a adblocker? That works wonders with the multiple ads that DISboards seems to allow.

are you talking about this banner



This because a new European Data Privacy Law called General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became law on Friday 25 May 2018 here in Europe. Theres a whole load of new data rules, and this banner is one of them. The law states that any website which uses cookies for things such as Google Analytics, Google AdSense and a whole load more ways must inform users. The website must also have a privacy policy which gives inform on what cookies are used, what data is collected, why the data is collected, how long the data will be retained, where the data is stored and who has access to the data. It also gives website users the right to request the data that has been collected about them and for this data to be removed and deleted.

As this is a legal requirement, this Dis have to have this banner on the website. To remove it, you just need to click on Got It : )

I’m talking about this irritating banner at the bottom, which does not even completely display.

I have that banner also. It is driving me nuts. But only for this website. I am thinking about not using the boards for awhile cuz of this.

Just staying away isn't going to solve the issue.

Yes! I have that same banner. It’s driving me nuts!
We tried to clear web browsers, make sure ad blockers are on, etc..... Nothing works!
Right now, it’s not on Google Chrome, but it is on regular google and Safari.

Omg, I thought it was just me ! It's so annoying , and basically has made it impossible for me to navigate the Disboards ! And it's not the browser, and it doesn't even close out - it just moves, if you click on the tiny "X" on the right side of the banner ! And it's not the browser - I have tried changing browsers, and it's on both my iPad and my iPod, as well as my phone and my laptop ! Just started today -

HELP !

I've clicked on the banner, and all it does is override the Disboards and bring up some crazy spam-looking website that you can not close out !

I can't continue using disboards with this banner. There's no way to get rid of it. Ad blockers don't work.

Mine's working. Maybe it has to do with what you're viewing the boards on....

I use Adblock Plus. On Chrome, Windows 7. No ads, no floating banners.

 

[Disney Freak Numero Uno]

Thank You. That seems to have gotten rid of it.

 

[Doingitagain]

I am on iPad. I had to switch to Chrome rather than using Safari.

 

[Sajchinook2015]

How to you switch to chrome.

 

[Doingitagain]

How to you switch to chrome.

I went to the App Store and downloaded Chrome, and just started using it for disboards.com. I use my iPad.

 

[OKW Lover]

I don't see a banner

 

[Toolulu22]

That is weird. I haven't gotten it (yet) for Disboards. But I do get them on another website I go to. And only that website. Weird.

 

[Doingitagain]

I only get it on Safari on my iPad, not my computer.

In the short term, re-enabled Peace (an aggressive, no longer available, content blocker).
Eliminates the banner and ads/zombie links at the bottom of the page:


DIS is working fine, but Peace causes problems with some sites.
I’ll need to research and buy a new blocker...
