    hey guys,

    seeing something odd on the forum today..

    forum thing.JPG
    that's an advertisement.. and it's playing a video right in between forum posts.
    seen it regularly this morning and it doesn't seem to matter what thread i'm looking at.

    i'm using windows 10 fyi

    i don't think it's an issue on my machine.. but i could be wrong of course.

    happy trails :)

    edit:

    There could be something going on in the background... I couldn't get a connection to the Cantina this morning when I tried and this afternoon several threads seem to be dropping the User / Msg / Alert bar from the top fo the page too. I'll ask some questions and see if there's any known issues.

    is it the weird ad thing that's causing the crashing? my old computer can't handle the strain ~ hahahaha

    somebody please tell me how much money we need to raise to make that San Francisco thing stop.

    Despite how frustrating it is, I find it hilarious that we are all getting adds for San Francisco. :D

    For a moment I thought it was only my problem. Thankfully, it's not (or is. That ad is annoying as hell.)

    I didn't see it even once until I disabled my adblocker to test it.

    For what it's worth, here is the javascript that runs the ad:
    Code:
    <div style="width:100%">
    <div style="width:350px; margin: 0 auto;">
    
    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="https://live.sekindo.com/live/liveView.php?s=88577&cbuster=[CACHE_BUSTER]&pubUrl=[PAGE_URL_ENCODED]"></script>
    
    </div>
    </div>
    You can find it on the page's source.

    And from the video's URL, it's apparently linked to Sekindo, an advertising company.

    I don't know whether the ad was implemented on purpose or not, perhaps the Forum staff would know more on the matter. I do doubt that the ad was what caused any crashes, though. It seems harmless.

    Is this just happening on everyone's mobile or on PC too? I had the ad show up on mobile earlier. I'm on my laptop now and there is no ad, so I jumped on my mobile at same time and I'm looking at San Fran. again.

    I'm purposely looking for it on my laptop and it doesn't show up. Weird.

    perhaps privacy/security settings are playing a part here.. and not everybody is seeing it ?

    Perhaps you're using an ad-blocking extension on your laptop, like I mentioned above? Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin

    I never got the ad myself until I read the comments and purposefully disabled it to see the ad.
