Ads covering text

[Anonymous]

Since last evening, when I get to the second page of most threads, I get an ad covering about half the page (and half the text of the thread). No way to x out of it, and it’s happening in more than one forum. Obviously, it makes DCUM unreadable. I shut down my browser and IPad, etc. and restarted, and it kept happening. Reading DCUM on a newer model iPad, using Chrome, if that matters. Is there a fix?

This shouldn't be happening obviously, but I have not seen such an ad (and I used my iPad for quite a while this morning). Can you take a screen shot? Also these ads seem to affect Chrome more than Safari for some reason. You might try using Safari and see if the problem continues.

I am getting this too. Some ad with a dog and "enjoy the silence." Couldn't read the text on that page and couldn't scroll past it.

If you are able, add "#audit" to the end of the url in your browsers's address bar, like this:

https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1186792.page#audit

and hit return. An overlay should appear that says "report" over each ad. If these ads have the option to report them, please do so. Otherwise, try to take a screenshot.

I can only pass these complaints on to our ad partner and I know that this is not enough information for them to work with.

I am getting it too in Chrome. I will try the Audit trick.

I am also getting it in Chrome, same ad about the dog.

Can those of you seeing this ad please list what device and browser you are using?

I am seeing this regularly- and it is much more frequent this morning for some reason. I’m using an iPad mini with Safari as my browser.

And it just popped up again after I sent this post. It’s an ad for American Express.

I saw this last night too. Chrome, iPad. I have not seen it this morning but am on my iPhone.

Those of you who are seeing this with iPads, are you using portrait or landscape orientation? I have a suspicion that this is mostly, and maybe only, happening in landscape mode.

Yes, iPad in landscape. I’ve all but given up DCUM via iPad.

You are correct. It’s a big AmEx ad, and I can get it to go away on my iPad if I switch from landscape to portrait. Doesn’t happen on the phone.

Mine was for Inspira financials (using a Windows OS laptop with Chrome). I reported it using #audit. I had it on two pages - one was just the forum index, the other was the Pets forum - and when I reported it on one page, the other one seemed to go away as well.

Thanks. Reporting with the #audit tool is the best response. That is very helpful.
