Default spam on forum

Over the past few days, I now have a spam thread as the first thread shown on my feed for tis and the other rennlist forums I visit. I can't delete it either. Also, it changes each day, and advertises for mortgages, etc. Anyone else getting this? As a subscriber, I shouldn't see this crap.

It was brought to Robb M's attention and he said he turned it off. I only got it on iOS devices but since I rarely use on for Rennlist anymore I have not checked to see if that's the case.

Looking forward to the following:

1. "Male Enhancement" supplements.
2. Reduce your tax debt.
3. Make millions flipping houses.
4. I lost 235 lbs by taking Placebo500X!!
5. Psychics are standing by to tell if you need a new timing belt!
6. Have you or a loved one contracted Mesothelioma after inhaling pelvic mesh while using baby powder and Roundup?
7. Group Term Life Insurance
8. Recover your dash with Flex-Seal!!!
9. Reduce your credit card debt by invoking your legal "right" to be a deadbeat!!!

how does one turn it off or delete it? I get it on my desk top and ipad. I rarely pull this site up on my phone, because that channel sucks (thanks IB - all your wonderful upgrades over the past couple of years actually drive this in the wrong direction)

So far so good. I use Chrome Incognito and also delete cookies and history frequently. I never access via phone.

Don't me started on what Facebook does.

Hmm; so some have the thread and others don't? Steve - this is the first unread thread at the top of the feed, just below the sticky section of the forum. You don't have a spam thread?

I see the spam thread sticky too, on Windows 7 on my big presbyopia-friendly laptop. Sigh.

It's random, because it's not supposed to be there at all. IB is working on it.

Guys, is it coming to your personal email accounts? If so recently I've been getting them too.
