Anyone else having this happen? At first I thought it was bc I was using my phone, but it is happening on my iPad, too. Incredibly annoying.

2

Yeah, I’ve started getting them as well. @CCadmin_Sorin

3

Yes! Happening on mac powerbook using chrome

4

Yes, here too. I’m in FF.

5

Both on Safari and Chrome on my iPhone.

6

Agree, very annoying. You can’t really click on the X to close them, the X is partway off the screen. iPhone 6.

7

Yes, I’m seeing the same problem on Chrome/Mac

8

Seeing them in Chrome on a desktop PC.

9

Yep…from my mac.

10

Very, very annoying. And they don’t work. They just irritate.

11

me too. windows on notebook with chrome

Guys, what you are seeing is not a pop-up ad. College Confidential has introduced a new ad space, which stays on the bottom of the page. Thanks!

13

Ugh! It’s annoying!

14

Ugh. It makes for a truly terrible mobile experience. Not even the ad part, but I have this giant gray bar that makes everything move around even more than the top of screen ads do.

15

Agree…ugh.
It takes up too much space, especially on a mobile app.
The way it works (popping up again when you refresh/change page is particularly annoying.

16

There is already an ad at the bottom of the page. This new one just gets in the way because it is just THERE taking up visual space and being aggressive. I think it is a poor business decision to piss off your users.

17

Awful!!!

I really don’t like this! I have the same ad on the top and bottom of the page, this is just crazy and makes the page really hard to read. DH complains I spend too much time on this site, this may solve that problem!

@CCadmin_Sorin That’s not what I’m talking about Sorin. The ad stays on the bottom of the screen, so when one pages down, the ad remains at the bottom of the screen.

@intparent
I could close the pop up by clicking the X from my iPhone though that does not reduce its annoyance.
I am just waiting (NOT!) for the time that after I mention (either in convo or in typing) a service or a product and a related ads pops up!
These ads must be generating some income to someone?! Wonder who?
