Actually, and apologies for the late reply, it is all good. For some reason I was getting logged out..

I'm getting a bazillion of these in post ads on my Android tablet (using Chrome, not the forum App) I'm logged in.

Hi admins,
Any work being done to fix this?
I am really not in the market for handbags, shooet-em-up games etc that are peppering and separating the paragraphs in posts!!

Just tried from the PC - no issues here, so it seems there is only a problem with Android??

With Google Chrome on Windows 10 and logged in I'm currently only seeing sidebar sponsor adds.

With Chrome on Android and logged in and in 'Full Site' mode I'm only seeing sidebar sponsor adds.

With iPad OS 13.2.2 and Chrome browser, logged in, I'm only seeing sidebar sponsor adds.

With Chrome on Android and in 'Mobile' mode and logged in I'm getting both top adds & in-post adds (but in that mode I don't get the sidebar, so no sponsor adds).

Windows 10 with Chrome still good.

Android with Chrome getting the in-post adds back again.

Chrome is your problem, I only EVER use Firefox, not a single unwanted ad on laptop or android tablet

I do not have an android device so I can’t comment on that, but I use Chrome on my laptop. No problems at all over the past 3-4 weeks.
Also, no problems on the iPad or iPhone.

STILL getting the spam ads in the body of posts in threads on Android tablets. In fact it seems worse, as there appears to be more of them.

[russ57]

Check you are still logged in when you see the ads. That was my issue (chrome on android)

[rwbuild]

Chrome is a PITA

[NeilS]

Windows 10 with Chrome still good.

Android with Chrome still getting the in-post adds...

Still the same while logged in.

Check you are still logged in when you see the ads. That was my issue (chrome on android)

I'm always logged in - makes no difference.

Most of the ads went back on again last night.

For now the ads will be shown like this:

• Members with over 100 posts:
  no ads apart from the Sponsors side banners which also includes one Google Ad.
• Members who haven't posted since joining
  will see all ads, the same as anyone who's not logged in.
• Members with 1 to 10 posts:
  will see top banners and not the one after first post
• Members with 11 to 60 posts:
  will see the top banner only.
• All forum users will see the Sponsors side banners, some may have the Google ad some may not.

Anyone seeing problems or anything they think doesn't seem to be right please post in here, preferably with photos, link to problem, forum style, browser, and whether desktop, laptop, or mobile and what type.

Any and all information would be very useful.

I’m getting large banner ads spread throughout forum topics. I am logged in. I have over 60 posts. I tried logging out and back in again - no change. I’m using iPad with Safari. Latest version of all software/iOS.

BTW what is supposed to happen for members with between 60 and 100 posts? - your list above doesn’t cover this. And if number of posts is the measure by which we are punished/rewarded with spam advertising, you are inviting a whole bunch of nonsense posts simply to get the post number up. Don’t wish to be negative, but this doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.....
