Default Paying and still seeing adverts

The Haynes advert is now at the right of my screen, considering I've been a paid member for many years this seems odd?

If you can't fix it I might as well cancel my subscription.

Will pop a message to Stu.

Even with ad block which blocks around 20 ads per page the Haynes ad still gets through.

Adblock gets paid by advertisers to let ads through.

I wrote a desktop chrome extension some time ago that blocks 100% of the adspam, it just uses css to hide all the elements.

Desktop site seems ok now, got the full page width back too

Mobile site still appears to have a few random ads inline with posts (as per pics above), I think they come via Google.
