Is this something new? Just started noticing it today. Using the same browser (Chrome) as before. Anybody else seeing this?

edit: Nevermind... looks like my subscription lapsed. I thought it was set to auto-renew.

PayPal script has been causing all sorts of issues for many months now (not charging, not resetting access) ya'll both should be good. My other issue is limited time between 6am-8pm right now to check on this stuff. Appreciate your patience.

Looks like it is my renewal time. I sent the payment to you via Venmo last night. If there are any issues, please let me know.

My renewal was early this month and the money came out. I thought everything had still been running fine, but as of yesterday I’m seeing ads in posts and lost Nest access. Let me know. Thanks!

I think my payment goes out in December and I’m not having any Nest access issues, but I am seeing a lot more pop up ads the last few days, is there some kind of setting that changed?

If you're seeing popup ads you may want to do a virus scan. Our settings are to serve embedded ads within the pages, not pop-ups ... and those ads should only be served to those w/o the donor tab.

If you'll screen cap any ad you see like this, and email it to me at pwbsr22@gmail.com I will take a look at it and see if it is one of the campaigns that Google ads is serving, but it sounds unlikely.

So I used the term pop up incorrectly I think. I’m going to send you an email of what I’m seeing, because it does seem to be different lately.

I had some Ashley Furniture ads like that pop up yesterday. Nothing sketchy like miracle wight loss pills or Time Share purchases or anything like that.

I’m seeing the same thing: Ashley furniture adds that are showing up on the page whenever I click on a thread.

Let me do some digging into this. Guess what happened when I logged onto this thread ? :)

It's not supposed to be doing this, obviously.

I will have to play around with the AdSense settings tonight. Not sure why it is serving pop ups at the bottom. Settings were to only embed ads into the thread posts for non-subscribers.

Ashley Furniture is based in Wisconsin. Clearly some game week shenanigans on their part.

I think (emphasis on think) I have the ad setting control taken care of. Google added something called 'auto-ad' and it was bombarding every page apparently.

Hopefully this resolves the issue.

Let me know (gently, lmao)

Looks back to normal to me. Thank you very much!

Mine looks normal too, thanks Paul.

Also, to whoever created pop-up ads, or those ads that load in and push the web page down, you deserve a swift kick in the nuts.

Yep, everything behaving normally today. Thanks for looking into that Paul.

I’ve noticed the ads have had an uptick in size and appearances at bottom of posts and within posts.
