Forum gone haywire with ads?

[Hushpower]

Just lately I've noticed odd behaviour: system was telling me to wait 25 secs to post after I had clicked the Post button once and my post had already been posted.

Just then, I posted, then I tried to click a Thanks button but an ad intervened and then then next screen told me I was not logged in.

You don't have an ad blocker? I know this doesn't sound right for the content creators but in the last few years they became very intrusive, It is not safe to use internet without one, that's how people get scams.

In the past 48 hours the email notify has problems. That's the root of some bugs. We'll look at it tomorrow.

I do; Adblock Plus.

LS: something to consider: Premium users shouldn't get ads. Certainly, the riff-raff freebie users of DFaq are fair game but I think Premium users could be spared.

I think Ghostery is better, I use to have Adblock and ditched it.

This is in the new design.
However, the site has almost no ads at all right now. Some of the ad networks have become a PITA in recent years, and it's not worth the hassle. We've not sought new non-network ad contracts yet either.

Some of the analytics is useful when you run a site. It helps us help you. We'll have on-server analytics at some point, not 3rd party, because on-server can't be blocked.
