I was finally able to see this ad and am working with our ad partner to get it stopped. However, identifying the source and blocking it is not as easy as it sounds so it might take some time.

I only get that ad on my iPad and Phone, I don't get it on my PC. I don't know if that helps in any way.

Applebees scroll up ad is taking over the screen, blanking out screen and jumping back to top of thread. Can we please just pay for ad-free subscription models, premium ad-free subscriptions, consent or pay models?

I don't have the infrastructure to provide an ad-free subscription. Plus, it would require logging in which nobody wants to do.

I saw the Applebees ad today on my phone. It did take over the screen, but then scrolled off. That type of ad is called a large interscroller. At one time, we were not allowing them but I might have suggested that they be turned back on. I don't remember. I'll check.

I just checked. On Dec 3, 2025, I dismissed the suggestion to turn on large interscrollers. So, that AppleBees ad should not be showing.

I keep getting a full page ad for Virginia Housing that requires the user to click an X in the upper right corner to close.

It goes here first:
https://track.celtra.com/

Then this page: https://virginiahousing.com/?utm_medium=display&utm_source=azerion&utm_campaign=lmo+brand+fy26&utm_content=b2c+interscroller&gad_source=7&gad_campaignid=22764063777

I got a Navy Federal ad that can be immediately scrolled on Android. It is not a big block. It links to here:

https://www.navyfederal.org/membership.html

I could not grab the connection link between the ad and destination but it said something like track.celtra in the middle of the URL.
