Hi Racer,

Good to hear!

Edit -

Ok the plot thickens! Having read kludger is also using an ipad2 I thought I would test to see if using an ipad 3 would show the same.

With my wife's ipad3 in hand ( also running ios7 ) I then loaded up a forum page, that is showing the same type of ads that magnum posted at the very start. I.e they don't float but sit inside a reply post and also sit below the name of the poster. There is also an ad that sits half way down the page.

And even stranger... Have just gone back to my ipad2 and the floating ads are gone!!!

Weird!

2nd Edit...even weirder...

Just loaded up a forum page on my phone ( Samsung Note2 on Android ) and guess what??? No floating ads or ones as per the above, just the normal static ones at top/bottom and right hand side!!!

Go figure!

Not quite the same problem, but very annoying never the less.
When browsing the forums on my Galaxy Note 10.1 using Chrome, I get an ad blocking the first post in every forum. The ad is static across the first post, so it can be scrolled away, only the first post can't be read properly..

Dachs, that's a CSS/html formatting issue, that ad goes in the header..... I'll emulate chrome on a note and see what the deal is, thanks...

Chrome on the Galaxy seems to be free of the blocking ads now, so what ever you did must be working.
Thanks cool

I get the "follow your every move, with 2x2 pixel close buttons" ads at the bottom of my screen in Safari, and I had an ad in the middle of the forum blocking the Site Feedback in Chrome for iOS. Maybe those are intentional I dunno but they're both a pain.

The floating ads just showed up on my Nexus 7. They've been on my iPod for about a month. Very annoying. So annoying I'll just check the forums from work where they don't appear.

agreed I cant stand them in the forum. They should have them at the bottom of the page and a smaller size, 500x100 with no popups or sound
