      Ditto. I didn’t mind the ads on the mobile site before. I don’t mind them too much if they’re between (!) posts once a page. But this is splitting up posts with ads IN THE ACTUAL POSTS, taking forever to load, and they’re the most obnoxious implemention I have ever seen.

        Sorry for the triple post, but no more edits.

        If this is what it’s going to be, I’m installing an ad blocker on my phone. I’m not putting up with this ****.

          I believe it's "above his pay grade," so he can only just forward on the information. Hopefully someone else (who can update the inner workings of the board) has taken a look at the thread/emails and started to investigate.

            Can someone recommend an ad blocker to install for mobile?

              Firefox has a browser that can block ads. But I have a bone to pick witht them. I’m sure chrome has something too.

                Re: These ads are too da** annoying!

                One more bit of information for ticapnews to pass along (or for Ed or whoever to read here in the thread), when I click on "My Profile" at the top, there is some SQL/Javascript/Something code that shows at the very top of the page:

                Code:
                ); } else { __ez.scxr.getDW(document).write(''); __ez.scxr.getDW(document).write(''); __ez.scxr.getDW(document).write(''); __ez.scxr.getDW(document).write(''); __ez.scxr.getDW(document).write(''); __ez.scxr.getDW(document).write(''); __ez.scxr.getDW(document).write(''); __ez.scxr.getDW(document).write(''); } __ez.scxr.getDW(document).write(''); //-->
                Looks like whatever the vBulletin update was, it broke the code to the website causing all this mess.

                    Those in the field will be all over me to correct it, but for simplicity: computer code is like an accounting ledger. Every open/close command needs to balance.

                    From the repeating text in that code, something is broken where it keeps trying to print the chain of code, but something is missing causing the truncated code to be shown because the underlying HTML doesn't understand what's missing.

                      It's like the Matrix, and some of you now have Neo/Agent Smith duking it out.
                      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                        That makes more sense than figuring out what the broken code is.

                          [PEDANT MODE]Some instructions or, in this case, tags are self-closing.[/PEDANT MODE]

                          I believe what has happened in that fubar text is a string was being passed as an argument. It would have performed some operation, but it contained a set of characters that prematurely closed it, leaving a chunk of now non-interpretable instructions which the page decided to write to the output object -- in this case, your screen.

                          The aborted part is a segment of a conditional (if then else) chain, so somehow it severed that part, happily processed the front end of the (now incomplete) conditional, and left the mess for you to enjoy.

                              It seems to be a little better, except for the logging in thing.

                                Agreed, things do seem a little bit better.

                                Still some slowdowns occasionally, but it's much better than it was. Thank you to whoever took a peek behind the scenes and fixed things back up.




                                And, I get that advertising pays the bills around here, but the suddenness of the change was pretty dramatic.
