    I apologize I did not see this until now. I just got the problem ad myself and checked the thread to see if anyone else was experiencing it.

    I'm reaching out to see what in the world is going on. No changes were made and these should be highly secure ads so I'm extremely disappointed.

    No, @B-Bob, no specific political ads were chosen and I don't want political ads on here, if I can help it.

    The offending redirect ads were discovered and removed. It appears we've been good since this morning.

    Also, @B-Bob, I saw this ad this evening and am embarrassed by it. I'm sorry if you're seeing garbage like this. I don't want any political ads here and am reaching out to see if they can be filtered out.

    Thanks much, @Clutch -- beyond the call for one little user's question. Appreciate your stance, and yes, ads like that one if not that exact one.

    thanks, I was wondering what was going on and why sometimes CF wouldn’t load for the past couple of days, now with you pointing it out it’s when I try to connect through a link to the front page only

    The amount of ads on here, and the fact that they completely hijack the mobile version of the site, is more than a nuisance at this point.

    I don’t even mind ads, just get them the hell off of the center of the screen. It looks like a ****ing sketchy p*rn site at the moment.

    Hey Clutch, just wanted to share: the Carlson ads have been very frequent this last week, even in GARM for me, and today: ads for special Trump coins. Can send or post images if that helps.

    I believe and respect your stance completely and will re-up, but still would like to avoid feeling like i tangentially supported political ads on this great site.

    Cheers.

    @Clutch moving the mobile banner to the top cuts the nav bars and now the user can't click on the rep links.

    This is what I'm seeing

    today the ads have started covering up and blocking the clutchfans banner and menu at the top of the page, to prevent you from even navigating the site now lol

    @Clutch, I appreciate your efforts to get rid of political ads, but wanted to say there are some other ads that are really upsetting as well.

    I get this same image of toenail fungus pop up in ads nearly every day, sometimes multiple times in a single thread. It is serious nasty, and it’s definitely affecting my experience in this site:

    I still see a permanent white bar after exiting bottom popup for Firefox mobile (ios)

    I think it's the opt out bar but it's broken on some mobile browsers
