Flashing Ads
Truly your forgiveness I implore, O Glorious and Great Andrew (May your reign of terror be long and peaceful and prosperous for the Forum), but I too shall dare raise my voice in (mild) complain :
I find Flashing Ads unpleasant, disruptive and annoying. Doubly so on a smartphone with the page zoomed in to be readable. See my previous post on the subject in 2010: http://forums.sjgames.com/showpost.p...59&postcount=8 SJG forums have some of the better advertising insertion I know of, and yours ads are relevant and even induced purchase from me in the past, but Fast Flashing Ads were a pain 7 years ago and still are. May I humbly suggest you google "blinking text accessibility" ? Last edited by Celjabba; 08-20-2017 at 06:52 AM. |

Re: Flashing Ads
I also find them to be annoying. Less so when I wear my polarized glasses, but that pair isn't my reading perscription.

Re: Flashing Ads
Flashing ads lead to ad blockers, please stop using them.

Re: Flashing Ads
I found them amusingly retro, but I wouldn't want to see them regularly.

Re: Flashing Ads
I *do* have mild photosensitivity, but the ad didn't bother me. I even deliberately stared at it to see if I'd zone out, but I was fine. In general, I'm okay with flashing ads when they're so small and easily scrolled off-screen.

Re: Flashing Ads
Nobody wants to see them regularly, that's why they're retro.

Re: Flashing Ads
I found I was scrolling them out of sight reflexively, and hadn't noticed what they were about.
