  Problem 1: Just received a message from a viewer that my site is showing explicit ads. Wordads has recently been implemented. Would they show explicit ads? I do not want this, how can I fix? ArtFoodHome.com

  Problem 2: One report of lines on blog running together making it impossible to read. I did run across that one time while writing my blog and previewing, but then it went back to normal.
  Can you help??

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Ads featuring sex, violence, or drugs are not permitted in our advertiser’s network.

  I did not see any such ads when visiting the site. If you or a reader does see an offensive ad again, please make a screenshot and upload it via Media -> Add New in your blog’s Dashboard so we can take a look.

  Here’s how to make a screenshot:

  Please note that it’s possible for ads to appear in your browser that were *not* placed there by WordPress.com. These ads are sometimes caused by malware or a virus, but more often it is due to a browser extension or toolbar that you may have installed in your browser.

  These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads:

  Could you also do the same with a screenshot of the lines running together? I’m not seeing that myself either.

  A viewer sent me a screenshot for the lines running together if that will help… I have it. How do I ad the screen shot to this message?

  Added a screen shot of lines running together to my media library… artfoodhome.com have asked the person who reported the explicit ads to please send a shot if they see again. Thanks for your help!

  Ok, it looks like the problem post is http://artfoodhome.com/2014/11/21/featured-artist-zoey-frank/

  Here’s what I’m seeing there in Chrome 39.0.2171.71: https://cloudup.com/iH7ie8VoUAa

  And in Firefox 34: https://cloudup.com/iRd1Dw8HRNJ

  And in Safari 8: https://cloudup.com/i-SQwefiSSR

  Do you know what version of Firefox this viewer was using?

  Thanks, please let us know. At the moment, I don’t see the issue, and I don’t see anything in the post itself or the theme that would cause it.

  “The latest version”… he also said it was just that one day, and then it started working fine… wanted to let you know.

  I am not seeing an explicit ads on my site, just that one person who saw them?? So I would think if I had an issue with my computer I would be seeing them…

  Thanks for your help! Appreciate it!

  Ok, I’m going to assume it was maybe a temporary glitch them, or one of his browser add-ons interfering.

  If only one person saw the explicit ads, I’d also assume it was probably a compromised browser add-on. It’s sadly common.
