Bad Ad Position that is covering content

[Marshfly]

I am getting an add covering content on every thread I view. This happens regardless of how I scale the window. Screenshot below.

Brave web browser gets rid of all that stuff.

I'm not switching browsers. Safari works fine for the rest of the internet. I don't mind ads. Sometimes there's stuff I am interested in. I also understand that this website wouldn't exist without them.

@Ryan Avery @Jskaanland please check this.

Not happening on my browser (mozilla)

Looks like just a Safari issue.

Looks like it might have been a Cache issue. Should have checked that first.

With the forum update, we've also updated the style sheets(how a page looks)/templates(the frame the page loads on). I know there were some issues a while ago of this happening more frequently but I thought we got it on the last update of the style sheet.

Thanks for clearing your cache! If you see it again go ahead and ping me.

Fresh PRIVATE session of Firefox 136.04 (this begins with all browsing history, cache, etc. cleared) on Windows 11 desktop. I don't pay much attention when this happens but from time to time the ad box extends down over the text in the replies below the one where it starts. Just an FYI.

That was exactly what I was seeing. Clear your cache for the site.

This has been happening more the last few days. It's like the ad plugin is pulling the taller adds intended for the sidebar instead of the square ads intended for in the forum posts.

How do you clear your cache....I have had this going on for a few weeks.

I just hit refresh in Apple safari and any misbehaving ads stop hiding content and go back to what they should be doing.

 

[Marshfly]

This is still an issue BTW. Refreshing gets the site to pull the correct ad size but the first ad delivered is virtually always the wrong size for that position and covers content. It is pulling the larger ads designed for the sidebar and not the smaller ads designed for inside the posts.

Same on ad blocking content. DuckDuckGo is browser

 

[Weldor]

Mine is doing it also, it's(the add) right over the reply button. Does it on both browsers?

Does it on my phone at times. Covers up the post button. Need to refresh the page to get it to go bother somebody else.
