Ads Covering Alert List

[oldwildman]

If I'm on the forum screen and go to look at my alerts, the ad below it covers it up so I can't read them. But, if I shift to a thread view, it works as it should. Not sure what's up with that.

Ok, now it's not doing it. After some thought, I think it might be just one or two certain ads that do it. Sadly, I remember the shape but not the content. I'll make a note of it next time

It happens to me quite a bit on my iPad. Luckily all I have to do is move from landscape mode to portrait mode or vice versa to fix it. A bit of a bother, but more manageable than on an PC. And it is definitely related to the specific advertisement.

And as a side note, when I viewed this thread on my iphone, a loud obnoxious ad starts to play. Doesn't happen all the time. And I have the autoplay setting turned off.

I'll pay more attention next time these things happen and take note of what ads they are.

This just happened to me too, wildman. I usually use Duck Duck Go as my browser and it blocks everything. But when I just used Safari, I got a boatload of ads and pop-ups. Only problem with Duck Duck Go is, there is a pop-up asking about my location over and over. It's annoying, but not as annoying as all these ads.

Ok, just happened again.

@Tom Any ideas?

None. I scratched my head when I saw that earlier. Don't know if the ad position can be set in the browser, or if a popup blocker would help. I need to log in with a non-Pro account to see if I can replicate it.
