Those personal lubricant and "Four Virus" ads have been reported, thank you.

Is it really so hard for IB to use more reputable ad hosting providers? This sort of thing really shouldn't happen, and doesn't on other sites I visit.

I don't think it is too much to ask that I not get personal lubricant ads on a a Travel Site. I understand after flying for a couple of days people can be dry, but a facial moisturiser ad would be more appropriate.

I'm seeing pages constantly slowing to a crawl, crashing and reloading due to using significant memory, and Safari's dev tools say the page is making thousands of XHR requests per minute to adaptv.advertising.com and related domains which are coming back with "no ad could be found that fills this request" and because it keeps trying over and over again for eternity, crashes my browser

Anytime you'd like to stop the lube ads, that'd be great.

For the lubricant ads, I'll see what we can do.

A friend sent me images yesterday of ads she found annoying.
She also sent this comment:

In case you didn't see it, the ad is for August 4. Goes to show what stellar ad partners ft has.

Besides crashing Safari many times, another issue with the AutoPlay ads is that they will grab your screen. I will be reading a long trip report and suddenly I will be dragged to the AutoPlay ad. Sometimes I start scrolling back down to find where I was, other times, the entire page goes blank and Safari says it has to reload. There is an autoplay ad on every page now, and most have no way to pause them.

Still getting the lube ads. This is getting ridiculous.

Flyer Talk Ads Displayed
If there are anymore ads put on the Flyer Talk web pages that have audio that comes on by default and you can't stop the audio, I will never come back to Flyer Talk. It's OK to have an ad with audio as long as you have to activate the audio before it starts.

Came to complain about the lube ads on other forums on the site and was greeted with more lube ads. Probably about 10-20 of them today.
