I have been getting ads in the forums while having my Gold Account active, and wanted to see why?

I'm only getting them on the forums, but I thought the 'no ads' meant none anywhere? I wouldn't want to resort to adblock since I know I can block site functionality by accident, so help a girl out please? :)

Other ads I've seen:

The forum banners (billboards) have always been excluded from the GA's ad removal. I think it's because they are user created banners individually approved by staff, rather than traditional ads. But it isn't a bug!

I see ... i hadn't seen them in forever (aka they show up and then they don't in a while), so I assumed it was a bug.

Thanks for confirming it's not a bug :)

Now that you've mentioned it, mine disappear and reappear, too. But I think it's because my adblocker is removing the ones that lead offsite and keeping the ones that link onsite. Very interesting :P

I knew I wasn't crazy :P
