The videos on the GT site have started auto running again, I managed to stop them years ago, it does my head in. The site is playing up keep getting BAD REQUEST on occasional links,
I appreciate it probably only succeeds with the advertising but surely too much becomes counter productive.

I am on windows 8.1 and on the bottom of the screen I can click on READ,
Once I have decided which story I want to read about I click onto READ,
Then the page just shows the story without any adds,
I complained to the telegraph ages ago,
BUT
They have done nothing to make their site readable.
What browser are you using, is it the adblocker doing this for you?

I use adblocker, & don't get any popups on the Telegraph web page.
Just have to remember to check it now & again to make sure you are blocking everything.

TBH, since newspapers are becoming a redundant medium, they have to make their money somehow if all we do is read stories that are in the papers on line for free!

The Telegraph website is flipping atrocious. It's completely unusable and I NEVER read anything on there because of the stupid adverts that popup and slide and take over the whole screen. I understand you need to try and make some money back, but someone needs to take a look at the thing and realise that they're driving away people. There are plenty of ways to generate revenue through your website that aren't so intrusive. I also make a habit of not buying anything with such irritating advertising so it's really all just self defeating.

Now you are getting technical I am on internet explorer but when I have finished reading a micro soft message says, "Did this read alright ,please report any problems." I do not know if it has been there all the time or one of the grandkids put it on for us.

I use Adblock Plus which blocks them very good, but I go a step further and use Ghostery as well; Works on Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari. Also IOS, Android and Firefox Android.
[url=https://www.ghostery.com/en/our-solutions/ghostery-add-on/]https://www.ghostery.com/en/our-solutions/ghostery-add-on/[/url] You can set it so that things that are useful work, such as videos, photo gallerys etc.
Ghostery will block all the bad ones, but you can set it to how you want manually if you wish, some of the Grimsby Telegraph pages only have 15 or so trackers that come up that will be blocked.
This is all the trackers Grimsby Telegraph website were trying to run in the background on one of their pages, 35 in total. [img]http://i.imgur.com/sb9vOYR.png[/img]

Blimey, didn't realise how many ads there was on it.
The Lincoln City site is just as bad.
Just to reiterate, adblocker blocks them all on my computer, & as an added bonus, it blocks the annoying ads on free spotify.
