Default Anyone else getting ads...

Always post from an iPhone and lately I've been getting some dumb *** ad. I can't even message or post replies it's so bad sometimes. Just keeps redirecting me.

ETA: The ad is for cookie Jam. What in the actual ****.

Post a screen capture showing the ad messing up the usability.

As you may know, some ads are served based on activity from the viewer that can be tied to IP addresses, location, browsing history, etc.

These ads really bog down the forum. I suppose this is my punishment now that I'm a "Restricted User". Here is a screenshot......

Ok, I see now. When they made me a "Restricted User" they removed my signature and replaced it with an ad. Thanks!

No, that's not what happened. Your screen capture shows you're not logged in. Those who don't log in will see more ads as well as ads placed in the thread, such as what your screen capture shows as not being logged in. The solution is to log in.

I got one ad a couple weeks ago, first one ever, and none since. Weird.

hiltsy looks to be logged in in the pic, as his little green dot is lit up in the picture.

Actually you're right that he was logged in. The green online dot isn't the final indicator (it could be green even if someone is viewing using a different browser, or computer, cleared their browser cookies, etc., and thus that session may not logged in).

Anyway, no one deleted the signature and put an ad there. The signature information is still on the account but Restricted users do get their signature disabled. See attachment to see the signature is still on the account, but it's disabled for now.

Additionally, non-logged in users always see more ads (like inside threads). I'm not involved on the ad team but it's possible the Restricted Users see them by a misconfiguration. Or maybe it is part of their punishment.

LOL, I can't see the jpg image, it says I've been banned. I never saw ads until I became a restricted user.

God I jinxed myself. There is a vertical CAR ID banner that takes over my screen if I try to zoom in to read text. It sucks big time.

I dont know what car id is and it may not be their fault but I will never do business because of ads like that.
