Can you take a screenshot of the ad and/or provide the link it goes to?

Can you screenshot the ad? Or Press CTRL+U in your browser when it shows up and copy the page into a text file and send a link to the file to me?

Funny enough, it did'nt appear after you posted:) Will do as you asked if there's another appearance. The ad is actually for one of those premium scumbags who text you and it costs you if you reply, and is a bugger to get them off your back.

A lot of people complaining about boards.ie apps that you can't shift off your phone. Would seem boards are happy to scrape the bottom of the barrel for a few quid!
