Banner that states you have a private message - PLEASE READ
This has been reported to me, and at first I was confused about it, until I just saw this banner. That banner indicated by the red arrows is not from Scream And Fly, and it does not indicate that you have a new private message.
The banners in that location are all served by Google, and I will be contacting the Google ads service about removing this banner, as I feel it is deceptive. Although it simply points to an ad and is absolutely harmless, nonetheless, I consider it 'click-bait' and deceptive, giving the impression that the message indicates it being from the Scream And Fly site.
I apologize for this. Since Google's ad clients change banners extremely often, I try to keep an eye out for banners that I feel are deceptive in any way.

Believe it or not, yes - I only just spotted it this week. But also, keep in mind that banners are served based on location and other factors. So, some people might see certain banners that others do not
