I have been getting ads covering the posts, in pop up windows.

Is this something that is now supposed to happen?

In the past, it was a bug.

Thanks!!

I didn't see a star next to your name.
Mine expires in early February, and I'm about to renew and get some hearts to give away.

Otherwise, check your ad blocker if you use one.

I don’t mind ads but these can’t even be closed, they suck big time.

and I use Duckduckgo browser which has no ads. I keep getting this brownish square that has an arrow in it and it keeps popping up. I can get it go away but it comes right back. It's very frustrating.
