Thank you for the reports. Our advertising partner is already aware of the issue and working to block the attack.

Been getting these new pop-ups for about a week now. These are big ads that cover up actual posts.
Been seeing others complain about it so I know I'm not trippin.

Thanks for letting us know. I’ve passed this along to our advertising partners at Complex for their assistance.
Your patience is appreciated as they work to resolve the issue.

Yeah those are annoying too because I click the arrow to make it go away, scroll for two seconds and it comes back.This is an example the 1/4 - 1/2 page ad I mentioned in the above post

Obviously this isn’t intended behavior. Ads much larger than the specified dimensions of the footer unit are being served in that space, resulting in screens like the ones you’ve shared.
Unfortunately, it’s not a problem that we can solve directly because the advertising code is maintained by our partners at Complex. As mentioned, I’ve raised the issue with them and included links to everyone’s screen shots, but because not everyone works 365 days per year we’re unlikely to see a resolution this weekend.
I appreciate everyone’s patience and continued support.

anything i can do about this ad at the bottom? I have the account upgrade but this has started popping up lately and it's right where I scroll up so I click it a lot on accident.
