If you're using something like uBlock Origin on a browser, you can use the "picker mode" to select elements to hide/block. This more general advice rather than Vital specifically, but it would solve the issue you're describing.

Example:

I would like to know if anyone else is getting this. 

Anyway, I don't like using adblockers on Vital. It messes with their income and up until today, the ads on here do not bother me. I recognize the style of this ad I saw twice today and I routinely unsubscribe to any sites that use this. I really dislike it.

I get only the banners from Vital’s site…but, I’m on iOS most of the time.

I’m not seeing it. You sure it’s from Vital and not Facebook, Google or some other company/site that’s tracking you or dropping it on your page?

Not sure of anything. It happens when I load the site but not every time.

You can toggle the add-in off for whatever web page/site you prefer to support, but the steps I included are to block specific elements on a web page (ad,windows,etc.).
