Ads are now running

[Brock Beauchamp]

There must be a template and/or caching issue somewhere. I'm not seeing any of this.

I had the GeoCities looking craziness earlier as well. It's gone now, though.

Same thing for me, couple hours of CSS being broken(and the scaled images alone meant you couldn't really read anything) on both laptop and mobile.  Fixed now.

There are a ton of ads for me all over the place but as long as they don't literally cause me to click out of them in order to browse the site I barely notice them.  Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary today.

Why does NSBB now look like some random geocities webpage from 1997?

I think the CSS got screwed up somehow.  Looks like it's fixed now.

Back to normal on my end.

It must have been one of our AWS instances caching bad files because I couldn't get it to appear on any of my devices.

There is a Disney ad (on mobile) that takes up half the screen

Between that and in-line ads, here is my current view of the site

I'd argue that's a better view than the view where you have to read our posts.

Yikes, thanks. I will notify the provider.

Hey Brock, don't know if you were aware, but there are persistent footer ads keeping you from clicking on the "up" button when you reach the bottom of a thread page.

Wouldn't be a huge issue if the next page button didn't often drop you at the bottom of the page to start (chrome, mobile)

Can you screen shot what you're seeing next time it happens?

Literally haven't seen it once since last night so hopefully it was an aberration

Are full page ads we need to click out of going to be a thing going forward? Getting them consistently today.

No, this should NEVER happen. If it does, please let me know. I have interstitial ads like this disabled because they're infuriating.

Thanks. That was one of the things that I hated on the old site.

Anyone else getting loud ads popping up on the site today?  I am on my work computer and a few times today an ad with sound obnoxiously starts playing

Yes, it's one particular ad that's too small to see what's happening but plays extremely loud automatically and doesn't let you silence it for about 5 seconds after it starts.

Anybody get a screenshot of it? I haven't seen this ad at all, no sound on my end of things.

Btw ads have been really annoying lately. Causing slow loading, taking up large chunks of the page, and even a couple full pages ads I couldn't even click out of.

When this happens, please screenshot and email them to brock.beauchamp@northsidebaseball.com

This is one of the most frustrating parts of ad networks. None/few of us see the same thing. The site has been snappy with no obtrusive ads whatsoever from my perspective.

Endeavor Health ad has been particularly annoying the last couple days. Will try to get a screen shot and send over.

The ads on mobile are brutal right now. Constantly changing sizes, running in the background, go away when you X out but coming right back, etc.

Admittedly, I haven't been using mobile much the past couple of weeks. Which ad space? Are you talking about the footer ad that's affixed to the bottom of the screen or the content ads between posts?

Both. The one at the footer keeps expanding (covering the box where you post) and will keep coming back no matter how many times you X out of it. The ones "between" posts are actually behind all the post and make the page jump around while its loading
