On the mobile site, the homepage and forums at least, I get a black window at the bottom appear with a percentage. I clicked it and get an advert link.

Mr Will, can I email the picture to you as I can't post it here. It's rather annoying and scrolls down as I do.

I probably haven't explained that very well.

Terrible intrusive ad that eats up my bandwidth - it's for a phone as well, which I've obviously got already otherwise I wouldn't be seeing it.

Down with this sort of thing.

It's banal apart from anything else...

If you could email a screenshot that would be fantastic; [myusername]@pistonheads.com is the best email to use.

I'll pass it on to the relevant people and get it removed as soon as possible.

Have attempted to send you two pictures in separate emails.

Didn't manage to click it and grab the URL of the advert.

It's stopped happening on mine too now - perhaps it does it on a rotational basis?

I feel a bit 'Daily Wail' now.

If it happens again I'll send it on.

I have just had it seven times in a row and when i want to rant about it, it has gone.

Just make it go away!

Got them thanks, I'll pass them on.

If anyone else spots it happening again then please let me know.

I'm getting it at the moment, fills the screen on my iphone and the close window X doesn't seem to do anything, it just opens the forum link behind it and then starts loading the advert again on that page.

I know this makes no sense but here it is. I have two iPhones, both 3G, one on o2 the other orange - neither connected to wifi. The ad is consistently present on my orange but not o2.

If you have a mac as well as an iphone you could try using glimmerblocker as a proxy - eliminates pretty much all ads. Click.
