Default Horrible scrolling ads when logged in

I'm logged in on iPhone and seeing HORRIBLE scrolling ads on every thread.

Hoping it's a mistake.

If those are staying... I'm leaving permanently.

I am getting them too. They scroll up on the mobile app and you end up unintentionally clicking and getting redirected. I am sure IB will take care of it now that they are notified. I attached a screen print. <br >

Not just the mobile version. Getting these little video ad snippets on many random posts throughout OT.

Me too. If this is sanctioned by IB, I'll find some other community to visit. These ads need to die by fire!

I don't know for sure but this may have been caused by a temporary issue yesterday.

I logged off, shortly after posting, above, as my wife needed to use the laptop for a few e-mails. n the meantime, I took a shower, got dressed, and checked back in, here. So far, the problem seems to have been resolved.....

Are we sure they're pop-ups? CorvetteForum doesn't use "Pop-ups". It would be a rogue ad, if it were.

Please post a screen capture showing the issue while logged in.

I'm seeing one at the bottom of THIS post, as I scroll down through the previous posts!


EDIT......

It's for this product, below.

So my question to JT is

When is it going to be fixed?

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...sts-again.html

This shows at the end of EVERY post I open




https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/...&mb=2&clkt=147


I have tried Google Chrome, IE and Fire Fox.

ALL have exactly the same advertisement at the end of every thread I open.


Just tried booting my PC. Still have the ads.

Tried logging out of CF and logging back in. STILL have the exact same advertisement.

Tried logging into a competing Forum and NO PROBLEM.


As of just before 1PM west coast time the problem has gone away. Must be courtsy of the Leprechauns I had to call in for help...

Let me update again......


I'm going down through "My Recent Posts", and EVERY topic I click on, has some sort of advertising video, in the LAST post of the topic. That used to happen when I wasn't logged in, but right now I'm logged in, and it's happening.
