When you say everywhere? Throughout the site?

On my mobile at the end of various user's posts. It's like it's a placed ad but... there's no ad. Just the gif of the dog in sunnies with his face in the wind. Borderline bizarre.

I got that the other day. To be honest, I'd rather see that than a load of adverts. Dogs hanging out of car windows are funny.

I don't ever click on ads. Not seen it today, but I haven't really been on the GTI skin so far.

It's another really sensitive one like the red audi ad, driving me mad.

Yeah I just got it again, same link as hornetrider http://ams1.ib.adnxs.com/0

Link doesn't seem to go anywhere.

Somehow I also seemed to see an ad for Toyota in the same space (I wasn't watching closely)

I'm getting this too. Doesn't really bother me in any way, but it's on almost every page in every topic. Curious as it links to a non functional site and doesn't appear to be advertising anthing. Just the same .gif on a continuous loop.

Come on get a grip, that stupid dog in goggles is back.

It's funny in a way, but what gives. And what faith can we have in Haymarket having some control over what appears on the site, eg genuine nasties, when you can't stop a dog in sunglasses.

Ads Ops are trying to find the source of this ad, once I know more I let you know.

Don't remove it, it's better than the usual crap adverts that run.

smile Thanks Baryonyx.. we actually can't even though we want to, as it's being fed from an ad server and the team are trying to find the source however with so many feeds its proving quite tricky to isolate.
