Why so many adverts suddenly?

[ColinEssex]

Over the recent week or so, when I browse the forums I get loads of adverts between each post on any thread. I counted 25 adverts between 2 posts on the Trump thread. None of the adverts were relevant and took some time to scroll to the next post. What has happened? How can I stop these useless annoying adverts? They have ruined these forums.

Col, that is an "@Jon" question. Moderators won't be able to answer that.

Can you provide a screenshot so I can see what is going on? Were you logged in when you saw those adverts?

Hi Jon. I don't have a computer, I only use an ipad, I don't know how to do a screenshot, sorry. Yes I was logged in.

Are you still getting them? And when you say 25 ads between 2 posts, do you mean between 2 posts within a thread?

Col, never let it be said that I would ignore a request for help. Here is how an IPAD takes a screenshot.

Take a screenshot on iPad

Take a picture of what’s on your iPad screen.

I have not made any changes to the advertising system in over a couple of years. I've got Google Adsense on the site and Google largely determines where to place the adverts and how many through their automated system. I would suggest clearing your cache to see if that does anything.
