Hey all, we have had trouble finding which ad partner is responsible for these annoying pop-up ads. We have disabled a few partners that may be causing the problem this past week. Please let me know if you continue to get pop-ups.

I will admit the 'Pop-Ups' are becoming less frequent.
They were at times actually blocking a photo or part of the thread on my Tablet.

On your tablet, do you use the regular site or the mobile version? Or the app?

I use the GT app to access the forum on my tablet.
This is what an ad looks like on my tablet.

GT shouldn't be serving popups... the ads in there should be all embedded

I'm okay with the ads. They only overlapped a few pictures a couple times.

The ads that cover up 1/2 the post are irritating as hell- but IB is raking in the ad money, so i doubt it will stop.

It probably will, given enough complaints. Problems mean the app stops getting used, and apps not being used means ads not being seen.
