I thought these kind of ads were going away?
Note that I was still running an ad-blocker here, a screenshot like this was posted to another forum, so I shut off the ad-blocker to see. I am disappointed. Ad-blocker is back on.
Hi there - I’m looking into this now - thank you for bringing this it our attention

I don’t use any ad blocker and they are all over the place.
Started yesterday around 5 PM CST.

Hey everyone. We were testing out the ad placements.
We’re working with our ad provider to ensure the ads that appear are on brand and applicable to this audience.
The ads have been disabled for now.

Thank goodness, they got worse as time went on.
Thanks, Nick.

Nick, thanks for the quick action. I don’t necessarily expect ad free, but I would at least like them related to the Firecrown lineup in some manner. Having Firecrown staff here is night and day from where we were. An issue or question pops up and the wheels start turning quickly. It is very much appreciated.

Nick, I recently flagged something on here that was promoting WhatsApp, I hope it was removed.

I don’t mind ads that have their place, especially if they are somewhat related to the forum’s focus. I do mind ads that block content - on the old forum I could block the ads by proper tweaking of the settings for Firefox.

And place the ads in decent places, not plopped all over the place.
Be nice if some railroad museums advertised or some of the vendors that advertise in the magazine itself.
