Clicking on Threads and Ad Popping Up Instead

[fly girl]

For the last 2 days it sporadically happens. I go to click on a thread or jump to another forum and instead of that page loading, an ad takes over my screen. Allbirds was yesterday. Today it was some car thing.

Why is this happening? Incredibly frustrating especially when I have my Ad Blocker and Ad Blocker Pro installed.

Can you try switching to the "Wide" template and let me know? You can switch the template at the bottom left.

I just switched it, I will let you know if it happens again. Thanks, @WebmasterCorey

I’ve had it a few times too, and just got it when I clicked on this link! Broraonline came up instead (https://www.broraonline.com/uk/herringbone-weave-linen-trousers-stone-dt2315fl2131?utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=display&utm_campaign=Web Traffic - Similar&utm_id=239748&cto_pld=0J1iY8yeAADqO5M9byioaA).

Currently on my iPhone (due to issues accessing over wifi!) but it was happening on my laptop yesterday. It’s very intermittent though.

It happened to me several times over several days as well.

Today, in the middle of browsing, the website changed to a blue background. It had a different header couldn't find my profile or where to log out. I posted this and the site changed back to the original layout. I went back to browsing and it turned blue again. I'm gonna log out for the day and see if whatever you guys are doing straightens itself out.

This is happening for me too... using Chrome on a Mac Mini.

SUPER ANNOYING.

@WebmasterCorey what does wide template do? Was it wide before and somehow reset to different settings?

Are you getting it on the Wide template?

I didn't change to wide and I haven't gotten it in a few days. What I am asking is why it happened and what do you expect wide to solve. Was it that the borders of the ads encroached on the headers?

Chill with attitude. Read the previous posts that I've answered numerous times. This is not something I am in control of and it’s a rogue Google ad. The Wide template is my process of elimination.
