The Ad Reporting Thread

Need to report a "Salt and Straw" ad - somehow got logged out and this ad would sit atop the login form making it impossible to see where you're entering text. That might just be a Website CSS issue though.
Animated Fanta drinks on the sides that makes way for the following beauty. Can't ask for better cinematography.
Chiming in on the intrusive mobile ads. Just had one from PadSquad that took up the bottom half of the screen AND borders all the way around the screen.

Just encountered this as well. Some annoying shit.
Can any staff acknowledge whether these annoying new slide-up ads like Peacock are now "allowed" by Resetera, or is it something you're actively trying to hunt down and get rid of?
Seriously, fuck this PadSquad ad. I'm getting it basically every time I visit now:
As others have mentioned, it's a large ad at the bottom and a thick border around the whole screen. The border stays up for like 15 seconds, no matter what you do. Even worse, while it's up you can't click on anything inside the border. YOU LITERALLY CAN'T EVEN CLICK ON A THREAD. You just have to wait for it to go away.
Once it eventually does, a giant box at the bottom remains, with an extremely tiny X in the corner. And almost every time I click the X, it "accidentally" clicks this ad instead and redirects me to their site.
Oh, and it also plays sound and has narration!
It's fucking bullshit and is making mobile browsing miserable.

Getting this a lot. Have to refresh every time.Chiming in on the intrusive mobile ads. Just had one from PadSquad that took up the bottom half of the screen AND borders all the way around the screen.
There is an ad, I guess(?), for the Twitch stream of eLaLiga. I say that, because the ad is literally just an autoplay embed of their Twitch stream. It's sweet because you'll randomly click into a thread and then just some random person starts talking about FIFA lol
Getting this peacock ad today that takes over my screen on Chrome on my phone.
Same here. Don't even want to use the site because of it
Bob's Furniture is a mess of a full screen ad that can't be minimized or closed until the animation plays through.
Android, Chrome here, again and still.

Getting a weird Survey Monkey one that takes up the border of the screen for a moment then remains as a big banner at the bottom of the page. Android/Chrome/Pixel 6 Pro
Yeah, the Bob's ad is especially gross as the close button doesn't work until the ad has played, which takes a while. And I've been getting it frequently, too.
Android, Chrome.
Android, Chrome.
We need some actual information to track the ad down. Random pictures don't help, we need urls and what browser and whatnot. Please check the OP and give us the info.
Celebs Who Totally Transformed Over The Years – Wordsa
Thomas F. Wilson – Age 62 Have you ever wondered what happened to Thomas F. Wilson, the man in charge of portraying the bully Biff Tannen from the “Back to the Future” movies? It turns out he’s still involved in show business and made recurring appearances in the 2021 TV series “The Patrick Star...

On Android, ad of some celebrity covers the entire screen, and clicking the X still sends you to the link above.
We really doing Fox News ads with alarmist transphobic/misogynistic headlines now?
Chrome, desktop, saw this one below, and saw another one with a gross headline about VP Harris.
what the fuck?
I've been getting ads about closing the US/Mexico border

Android phone, using Edge, there's a Boost ad that keeps taking over the browser with a page about agreeing to terms and conditions.

I'm in NZ and just got a Farmers department store ad covering up the navigation area at the top of the screen.
Android, Chrome browser.
Android, Chrome browser.
On Chrome, desktop, these ads literally covered the login dropdown and made it impossible to click the login button, even after "closing" the ads. There wasn't enough of the login button showing to actually click, it would just close the dropdown. Also seemed to prevent my 1Password from being able to autofill the fields.

Having this same issue.
Browser: Firefox 103.0
Platform: Desktop
Offending Ad: Not sure what to put here. The ad has changed a few times and it's an issue with each. Ads by Google.
I'm getting hentai ads on desktop.
I'm at work, so i'm not clicking or screenshoting anything, i backed out the thread asap. Better stick to browsing on my phone.

If you see that when you get home, report them in this thread because that's no good.
Getting a really invasive Discover card add that takes up half the screen on mobile. The drop down seems to pop up every time I refresh.
This Discover card ad keeps popping up like every other time I click to a new page. Super disruptive, it also puts an orange border around the entire browser window
Been getting this on every page refresh all day.
Extremely annoying
