Thing is, they are not Ads as such just a map of bank locations, banks that I have never even heard of let alone want to visit.

Yes dongle, I can see them too, so if you are going bonkers, then we both are.

Strange that I don't see any at all and I'm also using Firefox. Can still see the dogsy links on the home page but that's it. The browser I'm using on this tablet is Brave browser - no ads using that either.

I haven't seen any, but I'm winding down.

For those not seeing the links, here are screenshots:

Travel and Holidays > Mass brawl' breaks out on P&O cruise ship Britannia > Post 78.

General Chat > Remember The Days Of Stockings And Seamed Stockings? > Post 32.

As said, various ad-blockers (or turning off javascript) aren't having an effect on them. Can't think of a reason why some see them and others don't. I think I'll just ignore them.

@ mart, pot #14 – thanks for those.

I am one person who's never seen them. A little annoying to see them appearing when viewing an entirely unconnected post though I guess.

Both images that the links are sitting below are hosted on Postimage. I don't know if that's where the links originate from but it still doesn't explain why only some of us are seeing them.

Maybe that is down to the different browsers being used plus perhaps different adblockers such as AdBlock and then also there's the differing inbuilt security of various operating systems?
