this doesn't sound right, but what else would it be?

Comparative of glad = gladder
Superlative of glad = gladdest
e.g.
Her mother was gladder than her to hear the good news
By far the gladdest days on earth
Soon will pass and we not know
How dearly we love our country
-------------------------------------------
Comparative of gladly = more gladly
Superlative of gladly = most gladly

A decade ago to learn English, you had to attend costly English classes or purchase course material like tapes and books. Now you can learn English for free from the comfort of your home using the internet. The BBC and the British Council offer a number of online courses which teach written and spoken English. You can also improve your English by watching television programs and reading English newspapers. For more information, visit http://tinyurl.com/qnzpt

gladder, gladdest. Sounds weird, I know. But glad is an adjective. Gladly is an adverb, and an adverb cannot be the comparative or superlative form of an adjective (e.g., I am.... happy, happier, happiest – not happy, more happily, most happily)

Just leave off the ly. Glad, more glad, most glad.
