What's up with all these crappy Hijacking Ads?

[stcjones]

i understand that advertising is very important to a business and website....but can we please GET rid of these ads selling apps for lyft etc?....or any other one that redirects away to an app page etc every minute or so....thanks

I don't get those on my computer. I've never seen one.

....of course, having the red band "Patsfans.com Supporter" under my sig probably scares them off.

There's a couple of ad networks that we're signed up with, so I don't have direct control over them. But I know there were a couple of issues over the holiday and I had to shut them down over the weekend because I couldn't narrow down which company was the culprit. However, are you being redirected away on your desktop or mobile?
