Report Problems with Ads Here!

That's how I get here also..
The x did close it for me though..
I haven't seen it yet today, but it did happen a couple more times yesterday before your post 1209 @Advally ..

Thanks for working on it, not a crisis, just a bit annoying..

What exactly do you mean by shortcut on Google? Like as in a shortcut on the Chrome browser bookmarks bar?

Best Buy ads swallowing the screen perimeter. Quite annoying.

While logged in, or were you logged out? Screen grab?
 
I have tried to enjoy AK from several points like my phone and my iPad and laptop and the adds are just part of it and only on AK so it makes you wonder why? I'm on a few forums and don't get bombarded with this BS!

Can I get a screen grab? I really need more than "this BS" to debug I'm sorry. :( Are you logged in or logged out? Logged in is supposed to be a pretty light experience, so I think there's something wrong.

I have a 'favorites' bar (bookmark?) that I click on. Starts out as https://audiokarma.org/forums

Ok perfect. And do you always log in, or stay logged in?

Yeah, I should have wrote "shortcut on Chrome"

I log out at night and log in, in the morning. Every day.
 
Here ya go. Captured this about 11:15 pm pac time on the 31st. I have two monitors so I cropped out the right side image. And, resized the image.

When this popped up, the green bars shot up on the left and right sides then quickly disappeared. Although this isn't BB, it's the same behavior.

I did save the unedited original image. Not sure why that black bar is on the top.

Yeah a shortcut on google. not bookmarks, just searched pages that google saves..

I don't log out, I just close out any open tabs and then close the app..
When I restart chrome, and then select AK, it opens refreshed.
I'll log out now and clear cache also to see if that helps..
 
Things like this are why I stopped subscribing...

Just a moment ago..
Galaxy tab using chrome..

Hey - I am really sorry that we forgot to update you guys here on this. These ads came up across our entire network (both types above) and was a mis-sized creative coming in through a network. This is what is called a "Site Takeover" and on desktop it occupies a ton of real estate, and on mobile it has top/bottom units plus an "Interscroller" (scroll to continue with content). These are cool units, make great revenue - but need to be carefully planned on each page they go live on to not disrupt everything. Since it was going into what was supposed to just be a small unit on page, everything looks as it did in the above pictures.

You likely just noticed it went away one day, which is when we caught it. We updated people in a number of places, and looking back it appears like we did not make a post here. Many apologies about that, and I am sorry that this ad was so big and coming up in the wrong places. We get reports like this in other forums, blog comments and social media accounts of various clients. It was my responsibility to come and update you guys, and completely forgot. I really apologize for that once again, we're still here and we still very much care!
 
I just got a message "Support AudioKarma - turn off your ad block" So I turned off adblock. We'll see how it goes. :)

Well I know that the Staff here will very much appreciate that you did this!

You should be seeing a reduced ad layout as a member, but we have been doing some work on the ad system and want to be sure that it is working. So don't hesitate to reach out if it feels overwhelming.
