    When I visit the members area, I've noticed that each of the rows are mashed together and overlap, thus hiding part of each member's stats.

    During the past few weeks, visiting the news site on mobile devices (iOS, Android) has led me to be redirected to another site and then a candy crush clone app in the respective stores.

    It's really sketchy to be redirected and hijacked

    That's interesting. I'm on it every day from (2) different Android devices and have had no problems...hmmm.

    It looks like the browser hijacking is part of deep-linking, which some adverts do to pull a user into the app store (or a fake appstore-looking site) in attempts to get them to download or purchase software. Very fishy. It makes the current starwars7news site quite annoying on both my Android and iOS devices, forcing me to go back and hope that a redirect won't occur when I click on the next article.

    Will the new mobile site be using a different ad vendor?

    Yes.

    BTW, beginning about 48 hours ago, google changed the signup process for adsense... it is possible that the streamlined process has allowed more... creative... ads to be published.

    Sometimes when I receive a like, it will show up like 15 times under alerts. Also when I hold the cursor over a newest member that is all the way to the left of the screen, when there names pop up, they pop up partially off screen. I don't know if it's a little late to point this out in case you all are going to revamp all of that.

    Hopefully it works out.

    The deeplinking could drive away visitors, esp. when the full trailer drops.

    It looks like the Star Wars countdown to Force Awakens isn't working on the main page. Just an FYI in case you didn't notice. Or maybe you guys are removing it?

    On my phone when I click the ty top link in Google for your site I am directed to your new mobile site but none of the links or menus work? I have to click on a link www.starwars7news.com/page2 for the mobile site to work.

    For last couple of days I've been unable to comment on the blog. When I Post comment it says SWNN needs email verification. I click the tab to verify and its supposed to send an email. Email never gets to my inbox. Went over to Disqus to see if it was their problem and same thing happens when I want to comment about the issue. Verify and no Email. I was looking for an email address to contact and didnt see one so I didn't know if you could bypass my verification or turn it off if you're able? Any ideas?
