I just saw it on "The April Christmas Gift - ..." by CraftytotheCore. I do not know where else it will be.

Im embarrassed to say, I don't really know how to take a screen shot. Ive only done it once and I don't remember how I did it. However, it's the same ad that several had captured before, League of Angels.
Go to your search engine of choice, or even the search feature here.
Type in "take a screenshot on ..." and complete that phrase with the type of OS or device you are using.

I've just noticed in the last couple of days seeing pop-up ads on other people's hubs. There is one ad in particular. Prior to this, I've always been able to block them from showing up. I know they have been showing up in the US for a long time, but not here in Canada when I am signed in-only...
