  1. Improving Advertisement

    I understand advertisements are required for revenue and respect it. Please allow the video we wanted to watch buffer in the background while the advertisement is showing and try to stop the simultaneous playing of both the video and advertisement.

    • ad.doubleclick.net

      I get blank pages with "Waiting for ad.doubleclick.net" in the corner. No content = no point coming back

      • Stop the interstitial ads

        We, the users and fans of IGN, HATE interstitial ads. We don't mind banners, or even the video ad here and there ahead of a clip. What drives us bonkers is when we type in "www.ign.com" and all we see is a full-page ad that we quickly skip, or use Chrome to block. Be respectful of your users- we know ads are important, but don't want them "blocking" the content. We also hate ads that expand and cover the page we're viewing. We're aware of the games and products that you have on the page. Other than that,…

        • ADS

          The Ads are a pain, I left GamePro years ago for this reason and it is looking I will be leaving you guys for the same reason. I understand you need to make cash, but when I can't press back with out and added AD screen or the large Ad at the home page stops me from reading, I find myself turning away from your site. Thankfully other sites do not pull this stuff. I also do not like the fact that your ads always try to download something on my computer.

                • Stop full page banner for the sky rim app

                  Despite clicking "don't ask me again" I get requests to download this app every time I come to the site and even when I sometimes open an article. It's putting me off coming here.

                  • Take away Ads

                    Don't put ads on the videos and website. They all ways get in the way.

                        • ads are causing navigation problems

                          I understand the need for ads, but the ad page shown when first hiting the site also show up when hiting the back button after reading an article. out of habit I keep hitting back until I find the page I was looking for, but the main ign page is no longer in the page order (the ad page shows up in its place). So by the time I realize what's going on,I'm back on what ever site I was viewing before. At that point it's easier just to type in the url of some other site with fewer navigation…

                            • Reduced media for non-unlimited internet plans

                              You have a very media-rich website. Very pretty. But this will be a problem as internet providers in the US start transitioning to non-unlimited plans, which seems to be the future. Keeping media-rich ads will drive people to ad-blockers to keep bandwidth usage down.

                              • Take away the pop up ads

                                I know this site needs ads like all sites, but I am tired of getting ads that pop up and then I have to continue to the page I want. All other ads are fine the way they are except maybe lessening the amount of video ads. Youtube is a good example of ads going rampant and I don't want IGN to become like that. It might already.

                                • Change banner ad placement

                                  I would prefer more smaller adds spread out through the page content than the top ad that forces the page content down. Place half banner adds above and interspersed throughout the "Latest News and Updates" section.

                                  Less full screen shit as well. It's annoying, and makes me visit you less.
