I'd just like to confirm i've had no re-directs or audio ads today, and i've got 20 tabs open as per usual, so thanks.

No, other than it's annoying & I don't recall it being there until the recent pop-ups started occurring.

Cheers.

The ad keeps spinning and a loud Korean woman's voice scared the bejeezus out of me. It heavily lags the Park Hyatt Vienna thread I was reading at the time.

That's exactly the one i was getting a couple of days ago, albeit loading a Chinese advert up. Haven't seen it since though ^

Still spinning right now but it's a bit faster (the webpage functionality). I just muted my computer to avoid any surprising Korean voices.

Just took me 10 minutes to find a way to log in as an AD was sitting over the log in button

Please let me know what country you're logging in from and what device you're using?

South Korea, Macbook pro with Chrome. Today is much better with the citi AA advantage ads. They don't twirl and freeze up the page like the ones before.

Still happening, at least to me. US location, phone only, Android 4.4.2 Chrome Version 44.0.2403.133. It is exceptionally devious in that it moves around and seems to hover over the ads on the side such that when you try to hit the tiny close button, you invariably hit an ad on the side instead.

IB's devious plan for more clicks is working (just kidding - couldn't resist).

Cheers.
