Anyone else suddenly seeing ads on DU?

I'm logged in and a star member. Just started seeing ads. This has never happened before.

1. Yes.

I think DU sent a message yesterday they are doing some updates and maintenance over the next day. Maybe it has something to do with that.

6. It happened to me yesterday for a little while. It seems they are trying something new and there

are still some glitches to be ironed out.

20. I agree with the annoying part :)

We took a lightning strike Thursday night. It came in on the ethernet and fried a good deal of electronics in the house. I'm running on a very minimally configured system - just enough to get by and connect to work. Haven't put in any personal stuff really EXCEPT my DU bookmark. I didn't do any browser add ins (like ad blockers, etc.) since I'm going to have to reconfigure the systems all over again when it gets fixed or replaced.

I'm going to take lunch, run some errands, and hopefully it'll be better when I get back on
