Starting today, when I click on the 'Coin Forum' (https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/) button at the top left column to get back to the start, I get this huge full page ad pop up and block everything until I click on the 'x' to close the ad.

was this done on purpose of is it a fluke?

No issues here, just tried it. Was it a 'mainstream' ad, or something sketchy (no need to go into detail)?

it was something sketchy (didn't read it as I always ignore them) it does not pop up all the time, but when it does again, I'll try to capture the link to forward on.

I've seen it a time or two. It seemed to be an ad for appraisal services. Locked the screen and the only way out was to click "OK" or back out of the screen, which was what I did. I haven't seen it today.

I figured it out. Nothing malicious.

The Google network decided to try an "experiment," as they called it. I've turned it off, and all future ones, but it may take a few hours to flush out.

I still haven't seen one here though, I've seen that other places though.
