This is frequently happening, I wonder if it is a site error. The Dodge Ram ads are taking up the whole screen and not allowing me to view the forum's content. I have to refresh the page to get rid of it and it reappears whenever the page reloads and the ad pops up.

That definitely shouldn’t be happening. Let me see if we can find and remove it.

Sorry, I haven't coded anything in 25 years; this is all gibberish to me. Hope this helps

We're closing in on figuring this one out. I apologize that it's taking longer than expected to remove but it should be gone soon!

Been getting this for few days. First I thought I was getting malware virus, then noticed it was RFD. It is very annoying. Now I just click to refresh the page. Hopefully it is fixed soon.

Could either of you please share a screenshot of the ad if you see it again and also the time that it showed up?

Still happening, this is getting very annoying. For me its a banner on the side, but no matter where you click on the page, it takes you to the Ram website. It's like its taking over the page, despite being hidden in the back.

It's weird, I don't get it when I entered thru RedFlagDeals.com directly on desktops or iPad. However I get it often if I enter thru one of the forums, forums.redflagdeals.com .

It's the condition in the code logic.

Covers the whole screen and can't see anything. Literally unusable.

It's happening to me today and for the last few days. Using Firefox. Agree that it makes it unusable as I have to close the window.

Still happening. More frequently today. Big PITA for sure.
