OK so I'm trying to get to page 48 of the Free Agency and Rumors (Stickied topic in the Heat Board), I'm getting the following message from Google Chrome.

I get the same thing from Chrome.

And of course you didnt get it, the ads are dynamic, not static. If you keep refreshing the page then you should see it maybe (it maybe in specific URL's though, idk).

We removed the av that prompted the warning, which is why it is no longer appearing as an alert for you on that page and any other page where that user posts.

Thanks guys.

I received the same warning in the Raptors board on the "Preseason Rumor' thread, also using Google Chrome, just a heads up.
