Ugly Fulls Screen Ads

What's with the new ugly full screen ads While scrolling between articles on mobile? Also Lenovo on macrumors?

Horrible, makes the site run like poop too. I turned my adblocker back on for this site it got so bad What are you guys doing? Trying to drive people away? If so, bravo.

I've notified the site admins so they can look into this.

Yep, looking into it with our ad provider.

I'm facing similar issues, where a set of black bars exists blocking the equivalent of a full iPhone sized page of info on the main page. One bad at the top saying "advertisement" and one bar at the bottom saying "scroll to continue with content." The content is always covered up unless I zoom out to make the page much smaller than normal, where it would pop into full normal zoom once I let go reverse pinching. The odd thing is that no actual advertisement shows, and I'm not even running an ad blocker.

Sorry, folks...this shouldn't be happening. These types of ads are only supposed to be shown to mobile users who aren't logged into a forum account. Something changed, and they're now being served to everyone, including people using the desktop view on mobile, which breaks display of the site. Working on figuring out what happened.
