Just guessing, but it's possible the OP is referring to something like the attached image. On some pages within some threads, if you happen to mouse over the advertisement in the banner, the ad image increases in size. Now, on my machine, when I move the mouse away from it, the image decreases in size again back to being a banner.

I happen to be on Win7 Pro and the browser I was using at the time of the screen capture was Chrome. I haven't checked any other browser or OS.

I hope the OP gives you more information so you can address the issue in case it is more widespread than just his/her machine.

I used to use Tapatalk, but I don't use Tapatalk anymore since the IB AutoGroup forum reader seems to work pretty well on my Android phone. Crashes every so often (maybe once a day), but it regains its composure relatively quickly after. I believe Tapatalk recently underwent some changes and they now have both a free and a paid version. It is my understanding that the free version (which used to be a paid version, ironically) displays ads to support the free app. So it's possible the ads mentioned by datbino are from tapatalk and not necessarily from s2ki.

But, as you know, without more detailed info from the folks actually experiencing the perceived problem, nothing really can be done.

This helps because IB is asking for examples of ads since they aren't seeing anything

^^ Well, I'm glad it is helpful, but let me make myself very clear: I'm not complaining about this and I do NOT consider it a problem. I am only volunteering something which the OP MIGHT have been seeing and offering a possible explanation for you. In no way do I consider what I posted above as a malfunction or a nuisance. I simply move my mouse off of the ad and it goes back to normal banner size.

I don't know what the OP saw, of course, and he hasn't given you any additional info so...

The expression WOKOMM comes to mind. *shrug*

The issue seems to have resolved itself. It was like a guest post.
