Ads in "watched threads"?

[PCustoms]

Started seeing ads in the "watched threads" area today and also when scrolling new posts.

Is this normal/correct?

Seems new, so wasn't sure.

Seeing boatloads of ads everywhere today, two per screen, and updating often, killing page loading times, repainting the screen multiple times.

Same here. Sometimes right in the middle of or overlaying actual content.

 

[bbbarracuda]

yep here too. Also occasionally getting popup ads that have to be closed before loading page.

Four on a page on the phone. 2 identical. Sigh

Lots of ads and it's annoying because they cause the screen to shift so I am constantly adjusting my screen position.

Ads are usually driven by cookies... Just saying.

I'd clear your cache, at least (in settings, clear all history). It won't stop the ads, but it will give you some fresh content

I Knew this about ads, that’s why I specifically mentioned I never watch gay ****.lol And I don’t get any type of gay ads on any other sites.

This IPad was a hand me down from an elderly woman friend of ours, but even if she had a kink, I thought I cleared everything?

Im gonna use my other IPad and see if I get the same ad.

If I'm not logged in, how would I be seeing my "watched threads"

Try logging out and logging back in - the annoying ads usually are for guests, not forum members

Seems like an elaborate cover story

You know, it's also pride month, and the ad was for LGBTQ+ actors.

Maybe someone was googling an actor/actress?

We do a lot of that. The memory is the first to go.

I’m finding the site much more difficult to read on my phone due to the ads.
