Wasn't sure where to post this, but on every page I go to today, the ad up at the top of the page has gone crazy. It's like there are 2 ads showing, and the 2nd one is overlapping part of the forum.  Anybody know what's going on? Kurt K.Anybody else having this problem? |

I'll check the support forum, but is there still an ad on the bottom of the page too, or is it that the bottom one is now at the top?

It's doing that for me too. and Kurt - There are 2 at the top of my screen, and the rest of the ads are where they are supposed to be. |

Kurt - Yep, the ad at the bottom of the page is still there. It's definitely a ProBoards thing, because it's displaying in the same horribly-annoying fashion on my own ProBoards forum as well.

I'm not having the multiple adds thing but the adds are taking a ridiculous amount of time to load lately. Sometimes the add gets screwed up and freezes.

Just switched to the default theme and I don't see it (Chrome/desktop), so I guess my next question to those of you who do see multiple: what browser/OS are you using?

I'm the same - default theme/Chrome/desktop. About 20 minutes ago (maybe just before you posted this?), the second ad went away. It's now displaying correctly for me on both Pulse and my own ProBoards forum as well. |

 Pulse is going rogue... All selection fields but Login/Logout have disappeared.  Mouse-over still works for all links in the head bar. Vista / Opera |

So did the ad thing fix itself, or is it still happening? ( jhomes87 surfy) |

The banner ads have been cutting over the "participated threads" menu, when I click on it. It's been happening most of the afternoon.

This one Afreeza ad or whatever the product is called keeps overlapping my link and threads participated boxes. Ugh.

Unfortunately, we don't have any control over which ads are served, so I don't think there's anything we can do about that. :(

Didn't want to make a new thread, so I place it here. For the past 12-14 hours, I've been attempting to make a post on the reply page and sometimes I get redirected to an ad page for the Ad Council. I can just go back to the reply page I was on easily, but sometimes it happens like 3 times over the course of minute. It's extremely frustrating. Kurt :) |

Is there any way to avoid getting redirected by ads on the mobile version of the site? Every other click has been taking me to mobfree.click Kurt ? |

Browsing the forums on my phone is a pain in the ass, just clicking on a board/thread or the reply button will often redirect me to the App Store instead to download Uber or some other crap. |

Just made a guest post in that thread. iPhone 5s Browser: Safari ISP: Sprint Geographical location: Miami, FL Ads: Doesn't physically appear while I'm browsing but random clicks will redirect me to measurementapi.com which redirects to the App Store, usually to the Uber app. I just got redirected when I clicked on my post to edit it. |

I'll report that to them. That specific ad seems to have gone away and my mobile browsing has been fine since. (The page I kept getting redirected to doesn't seem to exist any more when I try to go back to it from my history). Thanks for your help though!! :) |

I can hardly use the site on mobile. Nearly everything I click is a redirect.

That mobfree.click pop up is happening to me when browsing on mobile on literally every page the last few days. Happening on all browsers, I have verizon and an iPhone 5s.

I noticed that the ads are popping up when I'm not on wifi. Is it like that for you guys?
