This site is now nothing but ads....
Thats how they keep the lights on, I get it, but those ads shouldn't interfere with the function of the site

I like to disassemble things.
They either got hacked or this is the new normal due to somebody accepting revenue from this. I hate to say I hope it's just a hack but I hope it's just a hack and that it is being addressed.

Mods....what's the word?

The add is showing up using Safari on my iPhone, but it does not interfere with using the site. Very annoying, and disappointing, but it does not interfere.

a new ad appears at the top of my browser on my mobile phone. I can't view alerts or PMs because they are blocked by the ad. See below.
I have the same thing. But found if you hit the arrow, it goes away:

The problem on so many ads is they inject markup / code that tanks the layout, and when you're dealing with an already cramped mobile design, it's tough to navigate around it (I'm on a desktop / big displays 99% of the time I'm on this site).

Often times they're (the ads) aren't even handled within the context of the responsive elements, so you're getting big ass, designed-for-larger-display class ads being crammed onto your mobile devices.

Side note: Twilio is great, I use it for SMS based relay for auth, messaging, etc., for a couple of apps (and their other company /product SendGrid).
