… iOS 8.3.

In a separate topic, https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/21462288 shows @ardchoille50 using that OS on both iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2. I can't t guess which of those devices was/is affected by the problem in this topic.

Everything looks OK now (Mavericks and Firefox).

I've tracked it down to a malformed ad. I've asked our ad network to pull it from rotation

So what you're saying is that, sadly, people who use adblock on this site wouldn't have had this issue?

I suspect my console log helped then

Now that I think of it I never had the issue where I have Adblock installed, so yes.

I doubt contributers would have the issue either, since they don't see most of the ads.

Sadly, yes. But you have the added benefit of supporting the site! There is an official way to remove ads too by paying a small subscription fee.

I plan on doing that within a month. I, quite literally, have a grand total of 143$ to last until Friday. So I'm cutting back on other things for the week in favor of stuff like food.

I may contribute sometime as well. This is a great community, and I think I'm finally getting used to the circular avatars (although I still change to square on my iMac)

Sorry, but not "resolved" - not all pages are misbehaving as they were before, but more than 50% including the front page.

I'm on Safari 8.0.7 and have updated to 10.10.4 Yosemite. This 'shift' is still occurring.

Oh my. After being OK for quite a while it's back to acting up again.

I'm afraid all ads will have to be removed. @arn

Problem persists. I couldn't even sign in on any of my macs. Had to use my iPad to post this.

The banner ad I'm seeing on my "broken" macs is for AICPA. Funnily enough I can fix it on my Mac if I click the ad on my Mac and visit to the AICPA website. Then, when I hit reload on macrumors.com I get a "well-behaved" Sprint ad (never thought I'd be glad to see one of them, haha) replacing the AICPA one.

All is well and I can sign in on my Mac again.

 

[arn]

I pulled the ad network entirely. should be fixed for the moment.

@arn just FYI ad-related https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1896807/ was the sort of thing that I'd normally not bother reporting, I chose to post it only because there was a puzzle over the cause(s) of problems in this topic 1896206.

As soon as this topic was resolved, I treated 1896807 as negligible. But 1896807 is there if you think it might be relevant.
