Just now had the Discover ad pop up.
I was in the "Things you don't see anymore" thread.

You fixed one problem but created another problem for me, again. It has happened in the past, but since these members have had the big ad issue, my problem went away. Since you made a fix for the big ad problem, my issue returned.
My issue was extremely slow loading of pages waiting for the usual ads to load. I have to turn off JavaScript to be able to use AK.
This is when I am trying to log on, and when I am logged on.
I am using an old IPAD.

Hi @John James and @Te-Te ,
Thanks for your further feedback, sorry to hear this and we will look into the discover Ad as well.
In the meantime, please can you log out, clear your cookies and try logging in again to see if it comes back?
As for the IPAD issue, I'll see what the Ad ops team can do about this. However, I'm afraid that it might be difficult given how over time more and more issues arise with the older models (as Apple release the newer ones).

Yes, my IPAD is old and I pretty much accepted this as the reason for my slow loading of pages issue. But for some strange reason, without me doing anything on my end, I could use my IPAD with JavaScript turned on again without any issue, this was right around the time other members were complaining about the Discover ad.

Terrence, you`re a subscriber, you shouldn`t be subject to any ads of any sort on A/K !
I have my browser`s privacy settings maxed out (ads, third party cookies, location blocking, and no sharing info.), and see nothing in the way of "any ads" other than sometimes a faint rectangle box with the word advertisment anywhere using Win 10`s EDGE browser.
Can`t you dig into your Apple`s browser`s privacy settings and crank them up to stop this destructive interference to your "paid for use" of this Forum ?
The day when I can`t block this worthless and zero effectiveness to me, & insidious interference to my use of anywhere I go, on this or any other internet site, is the day I cease using them !
I have pretty much everything maxed out on this old IPAD. I have to have cookies on to use AK, if I want a little more enjoyment of use here at AK, it's preferable to have JavaScript turned on.
Here is a couple of screenshots of my homepage with JavaScript turned on. I thought even subscribers got the ad at the top of the page and the ads on the side of the page. When I'm on a particular thread I only have the changing ad at the top of the page. Whether it's the homepage loading or a particular thread page loading it seems to be slow or gets hung up and freezes.

Yes, I don`t block site cookies, but max out blocking all third party cookies, popups, and ads, etc.
Also when was the last time you did a very good & in depth malware scan ? I use Spybot free.

And I have Java running, as well, and I use EDGE`s so called VPN called: InPrivate, FWIW.
I don't think I can do any malware scan on my IPAD, at least I never have. This iPad is so old, it doesn't even get any new updates from Apple.

You can scan that iPad, you just need to go search and find on line well rated anti-malware that`s free, and is for and works on Apple computers.
I don`t own any Apple devices, so my attempts to help you are limited to general computer security efforts.
Plus, Terrence, probably going on the internet with a no longer supported by the OS manufacturer might no be a wise thing to do without quality third party updated browser security software, IMO/E !
Discover ad just popped up again.

Yes, I'm seeing it too. just started today.

I saw it on many pages today via my computer, and saw a variation when I logged in on my iPhone ...
This is what I saw on the main site, using Safari browser on my mac Mini, just after noon eastern.
On the computer, maybe the bottom 1/5 of the screen, 2 rows deep as the screenCap shows ...
