First of all, yes, still happening, about 10 minutes ago.
Secondly, I get the same ad multiple times on a page--it came up for me five times on one; two side blocks, a top banner, and twice within the body of the page. Having multiple versions of it seems to compound the problem.
Third, in this current browsing session, that seems to be almost the only ad I'm being served, regardless of forum. The only other ad I recall this morning is t-mobile.
Fourth, content I've read this morning has been a mix of United forum and others.
*actually, multiple instances on this page--two body, bottom banner, right block.

Are others still having this problem, my browser is still freezing or I occasionally get a message in Safari that the page is reloading due to an error in the page. I've only noticed it in the United forum as well.

Still there. Haven't been able to take a reasonable screen shot of anything because the page is reloading or the browser is frozen.

If the obvious dishonesty isn't a problem, it's flashing bright colours at 10hz, which is rather unpleasant (or worse...)

Right side banners sometimes obscure text when using Safari on an iPad.
