There have been a couple of times I've ended up with a video pop up thread on my Android phone. I took a screenshot this morning.

It's not very often, just a couple times the past few days, and it's not super intrusive, just thought I'd point it out if it's something that's not supposed to be slipping through.

Thanks for letting us know. Quick question - were you logged in when this happened?

I just posted in the Feline Birthday Thread, (Fur Pictures & Videos Only), and a video ad popped up in the far right corner. I was logged in at the time.

Thanks for the additional report! This definitely should not be happening. I confirmed that video ads are still switched off for logged in users, so this is a bug somewhere in the system. We're working on squishing said the bug. My apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime!

It's really not a huge inconvenience! Thanks so much for all the work keeping our site running smoothly. Bugs happen!

Our tech people believe they have managed to get rid of the rogue ads. If you're still seeing them, please try clearing your cache. This should hopefully resolve the issue. If anyone is still seeing the ads, please report here in the thread. Thank you!

I was voting in the picture contest on my laptop and a small video kept popping up and down on the side again.

I cleared my cache and it's still happening. If these are the ads I'm supposed to be seeing, please let me know!

I am using my iPhone 10xr to read posts
I am signed in under my user name

I keep getting pop-up ads on each thread!

I have not used my lap top, as of yet; but I think the same thing will happen.

Help!!! Very annoying.
Thanks

I cleared my cache, restarted my laptop and ......... everything is back to normal! No unwanted videos!
Thank you for your help!
