Video Ad (from Google?) appearing half way through page

    Hi folks,

    This afternoon an unstoppable/"uncloseable" video ad by (it would seem) Google appeared half way through the 'find my posts' page. It's there in every single one of the pages, but if I select a specific forum it disappears. I've cleared cache, history, cookies, etc, but no luck. I'm using the legacy site with the plain skin.

    The ad in question is for amp.teads.tv.

    I have adblock on, and I have selected not to see banner ads in my profile, and yet I can't get rid of this.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Hi New Home,
    We're testing a new ad there at the moment. This is appearing on the search results pages only. The test ad will be there for a few days, until early next week.

    Fair enough, thanks for letting me know.
