I seems like there are a number of ads that will steal more space on the page, horizontally shrinking the page further to display. This is really effing annoying. >_<
There is an add for the game Smite that has automatic audio. Really annoying. I can also second the adds shrinking the page horizontally, by a large amount. I've seen a Febreze one several times in the past few days.
I've had several more hijack adds since my last post. I can't even rember all of the names. This was never a problem until curse took over the site. I also have literally never had this problem on any other website includinh clickbait articles, the chans and even porn sites. I know you moderators are trying, but the adds not getting reported is obviously not the problem. Something needs to be changed with selecting advertisers.

Hulu has an add for a show called "The Path" that is shrinking the horizontal space of the forum, much like the Febreze ad you guys took care of. I've only just started seeing it today, but it has happened on several pages in the last hour. I figure it's a new one, so I thought I'd let you guys know.
Edit:
Now seeing a "Frontier Communications" ad that shrinks my page, along with a Netflix ad for a show I can't remember. Both have the same effect as the Hulu and Febreze ad. I haven't seen the Febreze ad lately, but still see the Hulu ad often. I can hardly load a page without one of these hijacking a large portion of horizontal space
Edit 2: Just got another redirect. Was in the Magic General sub forum and was redirected here http://gem.is/category/stories/
I'm getting an ad at the top of the site, it's a twitch ad advertising their updated terms and conditions and their new privacy policy. It has a button that says dismiss that won't make it go away when I click on it.
maybe my work computer is just terrible but it's highly bothersome
It's not an ad. It's a reminder that this site, as part of Curse and Twitch, has updated its TOC/PP.
Clicking Dismiss should absolutely make it go away.
If your computer has been locked down tight, it might not allow cookies/etc, which might prevent this (and other parts of the site) to operate correctly.
Same as above poster. I 'm getting a border/wrap-around ad that shrinks my viewing area. No screenshots, sorry. Ad in question is Hulu's "The Path". Also got redirected from posting this reply to topic when I first attempted to post about the wrap-around ad. Using Firefox on Windows
I'm also getting those hijacking ads. It has quite literally been impossible to access the forums on the mobile version of safari because the ad shows up and redirects me to that page the moment I try click on any link to the forums. I've had to log into my desktop to report this.
Though this is not isolated to these forums today, the news aggregators that I regularly visit have been plagued by the same type of ad.
Not sure if it's the one(S) that Feyd is working on, but about ten times this morning I came onto this site, to different forums, and had a pop up that said I was a winner of $1000. There was a "close" prompt in the bottom right that, when clicked, redirected me to another page related to "IGNMATIC".
Clicked on a card link which redirected me to lp.amazinggiftnowforu.bid with a popup saying I won a prize from Google and to claim it by spinning a wheel. The redirect is so fast that I thought the card link itself was fake.
Happened again. Same URL different winning prize. A popup saying I won something and to click here. I was confused because I had just selected a link when it popped up and the "web page" behind became a forum-style discussion.
New (old?) advertisement that seems to target iOS redirects you to 96.44.133.34. Free Wal-Mart gift card nonsense. Locks up Chrome and makes it difficult to exit out of Safari. Apple has to have a ****** way of black listing sites only under the "block adult content" option. Wouldn't normally be a problem unless a thread uses the word "tokens" or "Dick" (as in Richard), then Apple is kind enough to block me from the thread. Forcing me to disable the filters, which opens me up to the damn advertising. Hilarious
Whatever advert is doing it, it hits a lot. At its peak it hits somewhere between every third to fifth page. Then it subsides for a while, then it goes crazy for a while. At its worse, I really thought I had a virus. So I started browsing the forums in Chrome and everything else in Safari. The problem went away in Safari but persisted in Chrome. With the filters in place, it just gets an error and I can navigate back but it's nuisance.
Same as above poster. I’m using Apple IPad, browsing with Safari. I went to the commander section of the forums and received a notification that I was a winner, and then I was redirected to a site (didn’t get the exact address) indicating I’d received a Wal-Mart gift card.
There was quite a rash of bad ads. Seemed to be targetting Safari users specifically.
Our ad team is on it, banning them, etc. Apologies if it was harsh this morning.
And tyarea.xyz or something to that effect.
