I'd like to keep the reports coming in to one thread if possible so it doesn't clutter the forum front page.

I promise you guys that we are diligently working on this. Last week's ad platform switch was a major success. Got a brand new SSL server. Things are looking up but we still have kinks to work out, so keep the URLs coming. That is the only way we can weed out the bad ones.

We are basically farming out our ads to real industry professionals anymore instead of me trying to do things in-house. It's above my head. I'm a freaking sportswriter/radio guy. I don't know this stuff.

I promise it will continuously get better but we just made the switch last Friday. Gotta give us a little bit of time to get everything running smooth.
I can't go to cyclonefanatics without random videos popping up. I am still getting a video of Prohm talking about the win over someone in January.

I get ads that take 15 seconds more to load and then shift the page when I'm clicking on something. It's really ******* annoying.

Not sure I’d call it an ad. Just got a pop up in Safari that simply read “Your iPhone has been compromised”

I’ll be darned if I was going to click the “Close” at the bottom of the pop up. I closed the tab instead. Had been about to reply in the “Jace Andrew” thread.

Oh—this aside from the 1/3 page ads that occasionally popped up again this weekend.

Had the 1/3 page ad couple times today. It’s on the lower part of the page.

The Heacock Oklahoma State video embedded in Blum's article today was unwatchable. In the first 50 seconds I had to endure 6 video ads I could not skip.

I could not find it posted anywhere else.

I understand the need for ads, but this is too much!
