I’m still getting a banner advert at the bottom of my screen on most threads.

Yeah same. It is usually like a video appearing bottom right.

Currently on desktop, but I think it also happened on the SBT app earlier too.

I'm getting shedloads now too (on mobile).

There's a permanent banner at bottom (I wouldn't call it small, it's very obtrusive) plus a pop up that reappears even after you close it. Then some threads seem to have an ad in-between the posts.

Sorry, am trying to sort it. Keep refreshing or clear cache and they should start to go!

Once you accept, it should be gone for!

I'm on Android, Re-logged in, cleared my cache but am still getting massive full screen ads at the bottom and top of threads, pop-up video ads and the small animated banner at the bottom.

Hmm, strangely the issue has just happened to me again too, not quite so bad this time. Not sure how to clear cache on chrome as can't find an option.

Sorry, I think I have figured how to get rid of that video!

Refresh a few times.
Video seems to have gone. Are the animated banners a permanent fixture? Totally get you need to have ads for upkeep and such just find the moving ones super annoying!

Is this the one at the very very bottom?

Can you screen dump? I am trying to make it very very very minimal for when people login but then if people arent logged in it will show more.

I'd estimate the banner's about 1/8th of the screen real estate.

I've had scrolling ones down the bottom, seem to vary in size a bit too. That one at the top was scrolling text (I've had that same ad appear at the bottom)

There is a massive ad if you scroll down right to the bottom of the page too, not to intrusive really. Way less annoying than the moving ones you can't scroll past

OK for phones it should just have 1 fixed to the bottom, no others? (no gigantic one in footer?)
