Thanks everyone. We've blocked the suspect ads that we can see for now. If anyone sees any more please do let us know here. Thanks!

Hi there @LunaTheCat . Thanks for the screenshot; that's really helpful. If you see it again could you possibly click on the ad and then send us the url for the ad itself? That will help us track it down more quickly.

If anyone else seeing these big ads could do the same, that would be brilliant. Thanks!

I'm getting this too, I'm on a Samsung tablet, on chrome and the ads are for gourmet cat food, thanks.

Hi @LunaTheCat

We're sorry to hear you're having this issue. Please can you tell us a bit about the ads you're seeing? If you can take a screenshot that would be really helpful. There are a couple of other threads where people have mentioned specific (fake virus) pop-ups but we're not sure if you're seeing a different type of ad.

If you can also let us know which version of the site you're using, and which threads/topics you're in when the ads pop up, we'll be able to look into this.

Thanks in advance.
