Default Ads by Yahoo???

Anyone else getting these black banner ads from Yahoo! while browsing the rennlist forum on Ipad?
How do we get rid of that?

Thumbs down What's with the irritating Yahoo slider ads...

Hey - what's up with these irritating Yahoo slider ads on our wonderful Rennlist threads? Anyone else see these? They float up and down over top of the thread until you close them = very irritating. And some times if you don't hit the 'X' right on it opens the ad. Grrrr...

Note: I'm OK with the sponsor ads above the thread, despite occasionally accidentally hitting them but I feel as a paid member that this slider thing has gone to far.

Please cut 'em! I'll pay a few membership dollars more if I need to!

I use Google Chrome with an Adblock plug-in

I don't see them either... I see very few ads actually.

Specifically, they showed up on my iPad this am and do not appear to be still on.

We are aware of this problem and the ad(s) will be removed shortly.
It was a mistake.

Thanks for the support and sorry for the inconvenience.

Best,

John
