    I'm switching to a different advertising publisher to display ads on the site, replacing what's currently there, this week. I just wanted to let everyone know beforehand because there will be some issues at first, I'm sure, because placement of ads vary. I've made it clear that user experience is my #1 priority but I'm expecting some issues at first and I no doubt will learn a lot initially. I know I will need to request changes and tweak stuff.

    I appreciate everyone's support and patience. Please feel free to let me know if you encounter issues.

    Thank you!

    I've been having BBS issues on Chrome for Android for an hour or so. I get this page when going to bbs.clutchfans.net. I think I've cleared cache and images for clutchfans. No problems on Firefox for Android. I've restarted and powered off my phone to no avail. I can go to www.clutchfans.net with no problems. If I access the BBS from there, I still have the garbage screen.

    I used the standard Internet app on my Samsung for a day or two and it worked. Chrome is back to working on my phone again.

    Yeah...I seem to remember this happening to me a while ago. And, I seem to remember it cleared up on its own. Thanks for your input.

    Brave works fine for me on my phone and computer. Strange indeed.

    This didn't get turned on until today and I just turned it off because some of the ad placements (generated by them) were too obtrusive. I'm working with them on tweaking that now. I'm not sure why some of the issues mentioned in the thread occured yesterday.

    Ad at the bottom of the page is quite annoying. I keep thinking something is wrong with the page when I go to a new one. I then realize that I have to scroll up because that ad is blocking part of it. It's also annoying in that it never goes away, so I'm constantly trying to avoid it while scrolling.

    I apparently didn't completely clear the cache in Chrome as I thought I did. Cleared it a different way this morning and it's working normally.

    It's much worse on the phone, but bad on the desktop too.

    Ad at the bottom and periodic pop ups that you have to exit out of to read the page you are trying to navigate to have been my biggest issues. Safari on mobiles.
