I keep getting them too. This in fact:



It's stopping all access to PH.

No idea what it means but it's scary!

Yep, me too.

And before some smartarse starts bleating on about adblocker or some such, I don't run them, never will.

Advertising pays for PH to be kept free for us, so i'm happy to support them in that.

I clicked the 'proceed anyway' button thingy to type this, does it mean my computer is now going to be infected with some sort of venereal type infection?

It's Friday for god sake! I can't be expected to work!

Me too (chrome user - had to use firefox and disable JS to post this).

I suspect a rogue advertiser has got the ad platform banned, still it's a little worrying that PH is using such a ropey company that presumably isn't vetting adverts. I'd be having major words as it puts us all at risk.

Oh for the days when Ted ran adverts for cars and things to do with TVR's and we sneered at the other sites with their flashing bingo adverts.
