Full-screen ads

[BytePride]

Just to let you know, I am routinely getting ads that take over the entire screen, preventing me from making any progress on the puzzle. They are Pandora jewelry ads every time. Not sure if there's anything you can do to prevent them from appearing.

Yes!!! Same issue, same ad. It's getting so I can't even play a game.

Thank you for posting this! I have reported this to our ad management company and am trying my best to replicate it here in order to track down the source.

Usually I can replicate the issue and collect the necessary information to track down an ad (via a .HAR file) but unfortunately I have not been able to get this ad to load for me at all, no matter what I try.

At this point what I really need is for someone who is having this problem to collect their own .HAR file - and I'm willing to reward the first person who can successfully do this, and email me the appropriate .HAR file that finally determines the source of this ad, with a 1 year premium account, free of charge. If you're interested, here's how to do that:

1. Open a brand new window/instance of whatever browser you were using when this ad first appeared. Make sure only one window/tab is open on that browser, and load the same Puzzle Baron site in that window/tab where you previously saw this ad.

2. Open the "Developer Tools" in your browser (often by tapping the F12 key) and start recording network activity. This will record all network requests made during your browser session and allow you to save it to a .HAR file. This page (IT Help - Collecting .HAR Files and Console logs) will explain exactly how to do this in all four major browsers.

3. Keep using the Puzzle Baron site, while network recording is turned ON, until this ad reappears for you. The moment it appears, click download/save to save the .HAR file locally to your computer. (Again, this page - IT Help - Collecting .HAR Files and Console logs - explains how to do this in all major browsers)

4. Email that .HAR file as an attachment to puzzlebaron@gmail.com It might be very large so you may need to zip it before sending.

Again, the first person who can successfully do this, and email me the appropriate .HAR file that finally determines the source of this ad, will get a 1 year premium account, free of charge.

Thank you and apologies again!
