Will be investigating this - hopefully will have an answer for you in a few days.

Update: The ads you are seeing are not intended for registered users, and is a temporary experiment by our development team to streamline and reduce the footprint of ads displayed to the general public. They will be taking steps to remove these from being displayed to you and other registered users. Please bear with - it's a temporary issue and should be resolved in short order. :)
Well, my series of 'post' banner ads went away, and as expected I was 'ad free' up until yesterday. Now I have the same ads on my phone that I get when not logged in, the ones that appear at the very bottom of the screen. I did however fix that myself. I was using an app shortcut to open Toms on my homescreen. I changed that to 'view desktop site' and 'poof!' ad free again. Dunno if that helps anyone or not, its info non-the-less. Cheers!
 
Personal desktop? or public? if personal, I'd make either the homepage or forums home a 'favorite' , so much easier and quicker. If public, then open the browser and type direct for Toms in the address bar, not through the search engine, again, saves some time.
