It is a bit crap this. I had another forum with this problem and the site admins shutdown the adfeeds one at at time to identify who was supplying the rogue advert.

Ideally, if the FT admins cannot work it out by the information being supplied then they need to leave each feed off for a couple of days and ask if the problem has stopped. Once the offending feed has been located then it's a case of working with the ad provider to locate the exact ad.

I'm going to configure an ad blocker to block all adverts from FT now to see if that makes the problem go away for me.
