If the massive ads covering the entire screen are a problem, try a different browser.

OperaGX is working for me. It's probably because I long ago turned on both the Desktop Site option and the included ad-blocker. Unlike with Chrome, OperaGX is applying those settings always.

2 Big rigs blocking highway 38 going up, there is technically enough room to squeak by going down at the time of posting this, but certainly not an ideal location. Couldn’t get a mile marker due to snow, but between 3- 5 miles up from angelus oaks.

rhe big jumping afs go away when i set desktop version, but when I then click on a thread, or any other link, the next page is again full of the page stittering/jumping around I noticed this happens exactly the instant that page loading gets around to loading the ad right below the settings/logout section . i strongly suspect that a placement /load command for that spot might be corrupted
