Hi, today I’ve noticed I’m getting ads that are actually appearing in people’s posts as well as top and bottom of page, and at intervals in the thread. Is this right?

Yes me too. They seem to be when a PP has used the Quote function. So Quote will appear, then ad, then PPs post. If I see another example soon I’ll screen shot and come back.....

Hi @CrotchBurn and @Judashascomeintosomemoney,

Thanks for letting us know that these ads are cropping up again.

If either of you are able to post a screenshot, that would be very helpful, along with your device and browser information.

If you could also let us know the URLs of any of these ads, that would be a big help. You can get these by turning off wifi and clicking on the ad. This will load the link without taking you to the actual advert.

Many thanks in advance.

@Judashascomeintosomemoney
Agreed, it happens inside quotes it seems. See attached pic, the ad when clicked goes to this link before directing to Sephora:

cat.fr.eu.criteo.com/delivery/ck.php

And then:

Hello

Can you copy and paste the URL in the top bar? Flowers

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 24/01/2021 22:48

I'm getting this. I didn't copy the urls though. I'll do that if I see one again. You can see the beginnings in the screenshots though — the "studio-tag" one is a redirect I think.
