Monitization takes hold of these forums in an awful way

[AdamK47]

The grand scheme of the forum upgrade has reared its ugly head.

I don't want to experience the "Capgemini Effect".

Hi there! We appreciate your feedback, and your report has been taken to the Ads team.

This is not normal behavior.

ublock origin is your friend.

Maybe not "normal" behavior, but it continues with this Capgemini ad. It comes up frequently, and blocks access to everything on the screen outside the posting window itself. You can't click on the alerts, inbox, or search functions, for example, without triggering the ad page instead because the ad is superimposed over everything. Hitting the refresh button in your browser gets rid of it for awhile, until it comes back.

@woolfe9998 Do you happen to have screenshots of this ad you're seeing? I'm going to be following up with the Ads Team on this.

I've followed up with the Ads Team on the issue, and I've been told that it's been resolved. If you get any more takeover ads either on desktop or mobile, please let us know.
