Re: Dumb ads bugging me so there’s no X and the screen is weird

@AfraidMonsters I can't see the whole screen in the pic you posted. But all is not lost. There are 2 other possibilities. Do the little square, circle and triangle still show up on your screen? Sometimes hitting the triangle (the "back' button) will close the ad. Or you could tap the little square (resize button) and then tap the top of the reduced screen. Often this will make the X reappear. Hope this helps.

    What are you talking about? I don't have any shapes. I'm using an iPhone XR, and I already mentioned I can scroll the screen when it's on, it doesn't show the full screen like ad should.

    Either way, I haven't gotten this type of ad for a while now so it might be gone now idk, but before its the only thing i would get

    @AfraidMonsters Every (and I do mean EVERY) device has a set of 3 buttons for:

    Previous Screen (or back)
    Resize
    Clear the screen

    These are usually represented as
    Triangle
    Square
    Circle

    If you don't have these buttons I suggest you buy something more modern.

    What happens for me when I press back is the game now loads but super small and cropped

    So it looks like it is trying to do landscape inside portrait inside landscape inside portrait. 

    So I see the same thing but rotated and smaller.

    And if a phone is an 3x3 board I only see the centre square while in orientation, and it looks like the game is trying to use 3 lines to show portrait while it is in landscape. And the game itself is in landscape but cropped.

    Screenshot is an example of my current browser edited to have a similar issue.

    ps - restarting isn't really a good solution because:

    1. Sometimes I get ads when I click on levels
    2. If I restart, I lose the chance to do that level e.g for arena, daily party and event levels.
