While browsing BiM, occasionally I would load a page, and there would be a nice, tall, skyscraper where the normal ads would be (picture). It seems to only be this ToysRUs ad, if that helps. Is it supposed to be there?
I've been getting the same ad.
I think it's the type of ad that's s supposed to appear at the side of the screen like on some websites but it's appearing at the top for some reason.
I was actually just about to post a thread about this here.

Exactly what I assumed.
@Pushover - lol.
Me too.
I keep getting it too, I have been since yesterday.
I opened a new tab for every section with new posts and every one had the skyscraper ad.
I haven't been getting any of those. But, I have been getting these other random ads. I don't really know how to describe it. But, I'll get these ads that pop up right in the middle of the thread. Like, right between two posts. The one bugging me right now is a Red Cross ad about typhoon relief in the Phillipine Islands. It might just be the computer I'm using. But, on top of that, I'll be scrolling the forums, and when I want to open a thread, it will instead act as if I had clicked on an ad, and it'll take me to that separate page.

Ads between posts and random redirects sounds like you have some sort of malware. You should run a scan on the computer.
That wasn't my own computer. Sorry, I think I should have included that bit.

I don't have this problem any more, is it resolved for anyone else?
Erm...no, not for me. I clicked New Posts for this forum and then clicked on this topic...I got the same skyscraper ad.
EDIT: Well that was annoying, I just got it on the main page of the forums. Like right after I logged in it was on the main page, that hadn't happened to me before.

Squash is right that if you're getting ads between posts that may be malware, as the ads on this site should not be able to do that.
I'm going to look into the skyscraper ad issue.
Thanks, I think it's just a Toys r us Sales ad that's causing the problem.
