Android phone, running Chrome browser. Viewing as 'full site'.
I'm now getting a large advert popping up on the left side of the page, underneath the purple 'Read More...' button, that overlaps and obscures the topic titles.
Didn't have this before, is anyone else getting it? I'd post a screenshot but, well, Imgur...

    Exactly the same position, but in iPhone. Fairly unmanageable tbh

    I use AdGuard Pro (and Adguard VPN when on public WiFi networks). Highly recommend. 
    I’ve not seen an ad anywhere in years.

    Subscribing to the forum removes all ads, might be worth looking into? £4.20 a month and you can also upload images directly

    Strange - I'm running Android + Chrome, and it looks fine to me. I've made a slight config change, maybe check again now? It should be noted (for the sake of accuracy) that there are no ad popups on the site, and there never have been.

    It should, however, be noted that the "Full site on mobile" view isn't really supported. The only reason I haven't removed it is because a few people still use it despite the limitations.

    I mean...it looks like shit, but there's nothing obscuring the thread titles on any of my devices:

    That's looking better this morning @digitalscream ;
    I always use 'full site' as it gives me the 'recent discussions' button which I use every time I'm here.
    It's the recent discussions screen which was worst affected. The ad is still there but it's now contained within the left margin under the Read More button.

    Cheers!

    OK, cool - for what it's worth, on the normal mobile view the "Discussions" link in the top right is functionally the same as "Recent Discussions" on the full site. There just wasn't room for two words on there ;)
