Very small complaint, but more often than not when I get to the bottom of a page in a thread there's a whole bunch of dead space (besides the ads running along the right side), which isn't an issue outside of the fact that I've grown pretty fond of the 'Forum'/''Sub Forum' buttons that typically go below the last post. Think it's got to be something with the ad script on the right not cutting off when the posts end? If it's an easy fix, great, if not, no big deal.

Can you screenshot this dead space and what's around it? I read this message multiple times and I'm just not understanding what you're seeing (which might be different from my viewport, dunno).

Having some weird things happen as I navigate to different pages in threads. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it won't. 

First picture is normal browsing, next 3 are what happens after I go to the next page sometimes. Maybe a weird banner or something throwing off the page?

Yep, same thing. One of the ads is resizing the page on mobile, so I have to shrink the screen or scroll over to read everything.

If I wanted to be a conspiracy theorist I'd say that and the notice at the top of the page advertising 20% off ad free browsing are not a coincidence haha.

LOL if only I went through that kind of effort....

This is a problem we saw a few years ago and I finally saw it myself on... maybe Brewer Fanatic...? earlier today. I'll reach out to our ad provider again and ask what is going on.

Nothing quite like that but I'll add it to the list of things to look into once things settle down a bit. It's an interesting idea. Not sure how to implement it exactly using keywords - that could lead to chaos - but I'm pretty confident that I could cook something up where if you don't like a particular thread, you can put the entire thread on ignore.

Necroing this old post. I'd love to be able to ignore certain threads. Could be a nice offseason project for you.

I'm still in talks with our head developer about this. It's... confusing. It seemed straightforward until we really started talking about it, then we realized there are loads of caveats and templates we need to consider. It's definitely not off the table but it's a much bigger task than I originally envisioned.

Well, my plan for surviving the next four years involves a lot of deep denial. Being able to block the politics thread (and other assorted threads) from showing up in my feed would be a major help. Truth be told, seeing those threads is already causing me some trepidation about being on the site. So I would be eternally grateful for whatever you can slap together to make it happen.
