That should only be displaying if you're logged out.
What's ironic is that I'm logged in.
That's about as ironic as a black fly in your Chardonnay.

Does it appear on every page, or only "every now and then" or just once?

I've never seen this ad before, and still don't... I'm wondering why it is that you would start to see it now while logged in when that has never been an issue before...
It only just popped up today. While it does rear it's ugly head on occasion, it is capable of appearing on any page on this forum. I would give you the link, but I don't know how to get one out of an ad that uses Flash.
That's definitely strange as I haven't seen this one either. Are you at least marginally comfortable reading HTML? If so, I can tell you how to grab the link.
I might be able to. Would sending you the entire page source coding help?
That might work too, though depending on the browser, it may reload the source before showing it, removing that ad.
Sorry, I wasn't thinking when I said that might work. View source is just going to give us our own ad code. Right click > Inspect Element, however, will give us the rendered code. Chances are, you won't have to read or figure out anything so give that a shot but it may show you the source of the ad itself, in which case you'd need to scroll up until you see the iframe creating it in the inspected source.
I don't see that option pop-up when I right click on the ad. I guess it might have something to do with me using Safari.

Regardless, if that ad ever shows up again, I'll right-click on it and give you my options.
It won't pop on the ad if it's Flash-based. You'd need to right click somewhere near it. That's why I said this method would be a little more complicated unfortunately. Though, for reference, I still haven't seen this ad.
Did you check this post, Petie? This is what it looks like.

I know it's not much to work by, but does it give you a better idea?


Also, I created a screen recording of the problem if that's not enough.

Generally, the quickest way to get an ad removed is by it's direct link (which isn't necessarily where you end up if you click on it though providing that might help as well). We might be able to source it via what it's advertising but knowing what it looks like usually isn't enough to do anything about it, unfortunately. Your efforts are appreciated all the same though.
Well, I got a link by clicking on the ad itself.

Could this help you guys out?
Possibly, thanks! We'll look into taking care of this as soon as we can.
