Ever since the recent upgrade, I see ads even though I am a paid member. Tried clearing safari cache to no avail. Using iOS 5.

Ditto.
 
Still see 'em. Happy New Year!
 
You still seeing them Ryan? I am.
 
I just used the mobile version last night and had a weird experience with ads. Once I was fully into the site, they went away, but after logging in, they didn't clear and the first menu page was horribly overlaid with an ad or ads, to the point of being unreadable. Once I randomly clicked to get off that page, the skin condition cleared up.

I have banner ads running across the header and footer of every page. Tried clearing cache and logging back in, but no such luck.

Yup I'm the same. Sometimes the way the page loads means that when I try to click on the PF banner it clicks the ad instead.

I see them too. I didn't notice last time, but it's just as Ryan described. A pain to navigate in mobile view too. Any way to opt out and stay with normal view? I click the "normal" button and nothing happens. I'll explain more when not on the phone.
