Ghost Banner Bar At Bottom Of Page

[16ACE27]

Anybody else getting this on this site? Happens on multiple PCs periodically using a Chromium based browser. Doesn't always show up and when it does I can hit the "X" and close it but it's still annoying when it shows up.

I got it just now when I got on the site. I usually use my cell. First time seeing it.

I use Chrome, and all sorts of stuff shows up at the oddest times...

First time I have seen it is when I clicked on this thread to see what the heck is a ghost banner. I just found out.

Yeah just saw it today as well. Hit the "X" and it hasn't come back.

Not a ghost banner on my system. Contains a bunch of BS advertisements.

And therein lies the answer to the Ghost Banner and the answer as to why no Admin has shown an interest in this thread.

This banner shows up on all browsers but if you are not running an ad-blocker you will see ads on it:



BTW that makes a total of 6 different ads just on the home page. I get the need for ads, but pretty soon this place is gonna look like those ad rabbit holes from AOL, MSN. Weather Channel and Yahoo that promise an interesting story but you have to click through a dozen pages full of ads (including self-running video ads) to get to it.

They've added new adds all over the place (more than before). Depending on how your browser handles changes what you may see. Be thankful you aren't seeing all of them. I get the need for advertising on free sites but this last push is over the top.
