    I don't know if this is some kind of ad-serving glitch on the new servers or what, but the ads in the left-side navigation seem to be too wide for the column, and are making that column expand to take up nearly half of a full-sized screen at 1024x768.

    There are some other weird ad placements happening as well, on the top of individual forums. In those, you get a skyscraper ad where a banner should be, so you have to page down before you get to the actual forums.

    So basically, I'm getting banners where I should have skyscrapers and skyscrapers where I should get banners, and it's wreaking havoc on the layout.

    This is all on IE 6.0.2 running on Win98.

    I believe this is a DNS issue and should be gone shortly (once your ISP refreshes your DNS). Apologize for the inconvenience. Please let us know if it is still showing up tomorrow morning.

    Unfortunately some ISP update hourly, some daily, some less frequently.

    There is another problem with the ads....
    No one works when I enter the site and they remain not functioning.
    So I have to press the return button trice to get to the site I was before(when I am at BS of course), becaus the ads have to load, but since they do not work, they try to connect, unsuccessfully, what causes that they fail to load, but had 3 attempts going, which is a reason for my browser (IE6) to think, that I was on two different sites, three times on a particular one.

    I hope my problem is understandable^^
