Default Is anyone else seeing embedded ads in threads now (Ad Choices)?

Using Firefox 39.0 and I'm seeing them in the first and last post - within a thread - on a page. This just started within the past hour and appear to be Flash

Yes and they are annoying. Right now your post shows and ad for Love Lake Erie.

What a pain in the butt. This just started for me anyway, today.

Why?

It's really ruining the CF experience for me.

Hopefully someone simply threw the wrong switch and will correct it soon....

Same here - all of a sudden they're in every post in every thread, with no black "X" to kill them. I thought we were exempt from that kind of harassment with four gold stars? They're REALLY annoying!

Another thing that's screwed up is when I click my recent topics the drop down box goes behind the ad banner on the top of the page and I can't see it.

I'm not getting the ads. Either it's been fixed by the admins, or my AdBlocker and AdBlocker Plus are working well. I'm using Safari on a MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite.

Yes, this should now be resolved. It was confirmed to me as being an error with permission settings on the usergroups.

Thanks.
