Why am I getting ads on the mobile version?

As a paid member why am I getting ads on the mobile version of BF? There are tons of them and they are quite intrusive.

Also, it's not aware on my device as it happens on multiple devices.

Does anyone from BF care to address this?

I'm logged in and there are two giant banner ads on this page. In threads with more posts there are ads between the posts as well.

No admin cares to respond to my question? What's going on with this site?

Have you tried PMing one? Staff doesn't read EVERY post all the time, lots of posts, life, etc. Why do you sound angry?

You haven't even told us which device etc...might matter, they have to write mobile versions for many different platforms and nobody here writes it, it's either part of vBulletin or Internet Brands (site owner) developed it.

It's really cold here, I hope you got your goat a sweater.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier, I've been working over time and so far every day for the past 3 weeks and have only been working on emergency situations here that have been reported via the report button. You sent a pm to me this morning and my answer in case others might want to know, is that paying for membership deletes the ads from here, on this site on a pc, not necessarily the phone app. I have let the techs know of the issue in hope that they can improve on this and I will get back to you (and now here) as soon as I hear something.

Unable to recreate using:

-Nexus 7 (2012), 5.1.1 (LMY47Y), and up-to-date Chrome;
-LG Leon LTE H345, 5.1.1 (LMY47Y), and up-to-date Chrome;
-Medion Lifetab P7332, 5.0.2 (LRX22L), and Chrome (which I had to activate).

While I used Chrome on all of those devices to view this thread, I did not have the browser synced, nor do I run extensions of any kind.

I was once experiencing ads on this site (after I got the Blue Star) and it turned out be a service linked to a browser extension. As you're experiencing this on multiple Android devices, maybe you're dealing with a similar issue if you happen to be synced across those devices with the same browser?

Thanks, it's now ad free. Are there any plans to add other functions to the mobile version such as the ability to quote and respond to posts, read and respond to pm, and see what the notifications actually are? As it is one can see that there are notifications, but can't click through to actually see the content.

Thanks!

Ziemas.
