On a positive note I’ve gotten this ad only once today, as opposed to last week when I was getting it every 5 minutes.

You can stop reporting through the audit tool now. I have asked for more information about what is happening with those reports because it doesn't seem like they have any impact. Have you or can you provide a screenshot of the ad? I have seen smaller versions of that ad, but not a full screen. Sometimes our ad partner can identify the ad through a screenshot.

Thank you for the screenshots. I have passed them along to our ad partner.


Me back again. Last night after midnight (so technically, today, 5/5) I got the St Augustine ad (with the scrolling 3 windows I posted before). It hit me like 4 times within about 8 minutes before I just decided to get off of DCUM last night. Again, I was on a Win11 laptop running Chrome.

When this happens to me, I cannot get to the browser bar to add #audit to the end of the web address (hence why I sent you the screencaps, which I could still do).


Hopefully this will be addressed tomorrow. I guess nothing was done over the weekend.

Well, this is frustrating. We will probably have to wait until tomorrow to try different tactics.


I'm getting the giant St Augustine ads again. Same as yesterday. They're very annoying.


Are you have to use the "#audit" tool that I have instructions for here:

https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1188849.page

or provide a screenshot?

Also, what device and browser are you using?


Surface Studio 2+ with Windows 11. It's a huge PITA to take screenshots since they can't just be pasted into here, and someone else already did. it's the three scrolling St Augustine FL ads. And it's frequent.

This is now happening to me too! Using a desktop and chrome. The same pictures as someone posted above take over the entire screen and there's no way to close them!

Happened again this morning. Only on the desktop; I’ve never gotten that one on the phone.

Me too. Twice in the last five minutes. (At least, I assume that's what they are. They're so big, I can't really tell what they are for.)

Reported them both times.


Oh, and I'm on Chrome.


Thanks. I appreciate the help.
