Ads covering the content

[Anonymous]

The ads that are usually rectangular shaped and sit along the side of the forum are now square and cover part of the forum menus. I'm terrible at explaining this... But it's making it impossible to click on the threads. If I refresh the page, the offending ad disappears. Just fyi. 🙂

I'm seeing the same, along the lefthand side of the screen.

This sounds like a ad has been misconfigured. There is probably nothing I can do about it given the many layers between users who see the ads and whoever misconfigured it. But, it will probably be corrected soon. You might be able to speed up that process by clicking on the blue triangle in the corner of the ad. It may give you the option to report that it is blocking content.

Does that mean there's no fix for this issue? The ads pop out and cover part of the forum and block thread titles/link. It just started happening 3 days ago.

It's still going? I thought it would clear up within a couple of hours. There is no fix as long as I cannot replicate it and I have never seen this happen.

Are you able to click the blue triangle in the corner of the ads? You might also try clearing your cookies.

I Xd the ad and clicked the reason being it covered content, and even when it said it wouldn't show it again a blank rectangle just remained on the screen blocking everything. Yes, still happening. I'll clear cookies and see if that helps .

Just FYI, still happening for me. Could be on my end, but thought you should know...

What device are you using? It looks like Windows 10 to me, but just to be sure.

When you clicked on the blue triangle, did it say which ad network was providing the ad?

Still happening, and no. It did not show anything when I clicked the triangle it eventually changed the ad to grey and said error with a sad face. I took a screenshot of the add that was covering content. It was a Humara ad.

Another poster sent a screenshot of one of these ads. It was an ad for Luckyland Slots, whatever that is. It came from the Adobe ad network which is not a network with which we partner. That means it came via another network which we still have not identified. I have still never seen one of these ads myself.

Is anyone who is having the issue not using Chrome?
