Hi @JaneJeffer. Thanks for letting us know about this. Can you tell us where on the site you were when you saw this? And if you spot it again could you send us the url to the ad itself. That will help us track it down more quickly. Thank you!

Thanks so much for the pictures and links - really helpful. Please can you clear your cache, this should resolve once this has been done but let us know if you have any further issues.

Hi there @JaneJeffer . The not seeing 'thanks' thing is a separate issue, we think. There's a thread running about that on Site Stuff and we're looking into it now, so don't worry about that.

Sorry to hear you're still getting those ads though. It looks like they're coming through a third party and will be based on previous searches (they have some funny algorithms; we're not suggesting you're regularly looking for balaclavas). If clearing your cache hasn't helped you might want to try reporting to google via the Adchoices logo on the ads when they pop up. It probably won't have an immediate effect but you should see them tailing off over the next few days. Sorry we can't step in and help directly with this one.
