Issue: Ads in the opening post?

[Tsutarja]

Thanks for fixing this, I thought I was going crazy when I saw a top ad banner earlier today xD

 

[Nah]

I'm seeing ads at the top of every first post like in Team Fail's image now even though I wasn't seeing them before when I looked at this thread. Even with adblock on there's still this hella annoying bar there that says "relevant advertising".

 

[Nah]

Which style are you using? It's a pretty significant change to the template code and unfortunately it's in postbits, which it feels like every single style messes with. :(

I'm using Fundamental.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

I'm still getting it in Let's Fly Together, Garchompin' (and by extension Yggdrasil), and The Y-axis.

Have fun!

Also, there are random bits of text highlighted in double underline all across the forums right now, but it's not staying that way. Once I get the code fixed up, all unregistered/not-logged-in users will see highlights only on actual post content, and nowhere else.

Looks like something went wrong because those highlights are visible to registered users as well.

Edit: All of those highlight ads seem to be Facebook ads and some of them are even badly done (there's visible JPEG artefacts) which makes me suspect that they're fake and you can even get malware if you click them.

Could I get some screenshots from you?

Yes, here's two.

Highlight in-text ad in a post while I'm logged in.


Two more in-text ads and the bad quality ad which pops up from some of the highlights when you put mouse over them, this ad made me suspect that they're fake ads.

On mobile, the in-line ads don't even open a pop-up when you click on them, they just redirect you.
If you click on the "?", it let's you opt-out, but I can't opt-out on mobile.

Having that same in-text problem too. Really annoying.
