Ads inside of threads are too intrusive.

Yesterday I got that black banner that wouldn't close but it was a political ad for a republican candidate. If we're going to be subjected to political ads, can we at least get some variety in the candidates? :lol:

 
Appreciate you looking into stuff @BigRedMax

Not a huge deal, but on mobile if I am on HB and listening to Pandora, Shazaam, or a Music playlist on my phone, there are ads that shut down those running apps. 

Not like getting muted, but actually shutting them down to play the spoken word ads on HB.  It's happening last two weeks.  Frustrating.

A separate issue, from desktop, sometimes an ad (at the bottom) will stop me in the middle of typing a reply for the ad to play first.  

I don't know which ads because I just roll with it.  But whatever ads that do that, it's pretty crummy.  Wondering if others run across this?

 
There has been a problem with sound on ads lately. If you can post click through URLs I can post them to our ad ops to get them blocked. One is Adobe. 

 
@BigRedMax I think there's a deceptive footer ad position that keeps deploying the entire width of the screen but the ad itself only takes up a small portion of it. Image attached. The 'X' to close the ad is all the way off to the right just below the schedule but as you can see the ad itself is tiny.

This is causing some issues with the footer notifications and moderator tools e.g. I tried to select and move a post the other day but couldn't figure out why the the pop up admin tools that appear at the bottom of the board weren't clickable. It wasn't until several minutes later that I noticed the small X off to the side. So it's almost as if the position is firing sometimes without an ad. The same applied to a thread I was reading. A notification at the bottom of the page showed that there was a new reply. I tried to click it but it wouldn't work until I hit the small 'X' off to the side.
