I just tried browsing the site on my iPad (using Safari), on my Lenovo tablet (using Chrome), on my laptop (using Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer) and even on my iPhone. I didn't see any grey band or ads.

I also see no gray ads bar when browsing the forum from my iPhone.

Can you try out a different theme to see if the band is still there? For example prosilver?

Just to keep you updated - the ads continued to bug me until this morning - when I changed countries! I travelled from Indonesia to Singapore. Coincidence? I don't know - I have no real technical understanding of how these things work but I know things can be geo-based. As, I said though, I wasn't getting them on other sites.
Let's see what happens next and when I return to Indonesia in a month.

I'm back in Indonesia after a week in Singapore and our friend the banner ad is back. It took him about thirty hours to make his first appearance but now he's a plague. Though admittedly I did not access the forum MUCH yesterday as I was on the road to Lake Toba - which is a VERY scenic place.
