Same here and mine is up to date too. I guess I am not that observant though because I never noticed if I was getting them before now.

Please be specific....where are you seeing the ads (which page) and which browser you're using?

Could you post a screenie? I'm not getting them on the Home page/Forums/Articles/Galleries.

well, now that you ask they have gone away.

I was getting them in the forum (I assume the ads for WC on the WC site is just collateral damage) and also those pesky highlighted words that turn into an ad when moused over, but alas, they are there no more...

Sad, eh? Next time check to see if you're signed in at the Forums. Sometimes (with ff) the Forums don't sign you on automatically.

I get that a lot.  I will be logged in on the main site, then click through to the forums and it acts like I'm not logged in... with the ads and what not.  Then click back to the main site and I am logged in again.

I'm using Ghostery and every time I log into the home page or in the forums I see the little balloon with the line drawn through the add name. Usually Google addsense or Analytics.

Managed two screenshots. Top one is the home page.

wouldn't have been able to post the post unless I was signed in.

Uvah, like that FF header, pretty slick, wish IE had something like that.

True. That just popped into my oft times senile head. (also, it wasn't clear that it was happening when you were posting or before...but I won't quibble because I forget what that means). ;)

Its called a persona. If you got FF click on tools, add-ons then themes then get more themes. They got tons of 'em. One of them is a real sexy ...... never mind. lol

Funny ........ I'm not getting any of that.

Correction. I got the ads after using the search just above where it says options on the forum page. Up where it says all I used that search pane and got no ads. I'm gonna try a couple more.

think they're woking on it, just accessed at a wrong time. looks like the search results have been corrected also.

**add** nope, google ads on the search page results again. appreciated that they let us know that they are working to correct the problem.

Uvah, by your screen shots it looks like you were searching for an on-line Pharmacy.

You might want to check out this thread if your still looking. ;)

I'm signed in and receiving Google ads too.  It appears identical to gmc2's screen shot.

Nope. Did a search on Hardwood. These adds are on top of the results.
