^Ads are algorithmic based on user location, browser history, cookies, etc. The ads you see are different than what I see. So the algorithm has determined you are a target for the NHS, where there would be no advantage to showing me, a non-UK resident that ad. Just as it would be pointless to display an ad to you regarding MBA degrees from Washington State University, which is what the algorithm has targeted me with. Though the algorithm is not smart enough to realize I would probably shoot myself if I was forced to do accounting all day.

I'm not seeing any more ads than normal or anything about being infected, but some of the recent top of the page ads are a bit suspect, particularly one about getting an National Insurance card.

Well, not exactly the same issue, but now I am getting ads in the middle of forum posts and ads at the bottom that are disguised with PA user avatars.

Not exactly a problem but an interesting quirk.

Has anybody else experienced this?

I switched to using ad blocker on Firefox but when i happen to open up PA in Safari without ad blocker, now i'm being punished with horrible ads saying my Mac is infected and all kinds of scare tactic crap.

Just wondering if this is unique to me

Yes it works, thanks a lot!!. But when I clicked the link they didn't appear, I had to manually type http: in the address bar to get them. I'm using Firefox, I suppose there's some arcane setting for this...

Well I'm using a Tablet and a few hours ago the site went back to how it appeared on a Desktop. (I have seriously got to change my avatar!) Now it's back to normal.
Fun while it lasted.

Lately I've seen that some artist pages do not show the stars for ratings, and I was wondering if this is intentional (why?) or an error. For example today I visited Thom Yorke, Nad Sylvan, Millenium and Elephant9 and none of them had the stars for ratings. It is happening more and more frecuently, while in the past 10 years or more it had never happened. I was hoping somebody could fix this. Thanks.

I’ve done this. Now I always check the front page after posting a review. Or I think I always remember...

This Mars Volta page has all italics that start in a review by Moatilliatta who apparently forgot to close them.

^ everything has been slow on the site lately. Even just going to an artist page or my own profile page ends in an error page. Explains the sudden slow activity on the homepage.

Have any of you fellow collabs been experiencing the same, or it's just me ?

- For the last couple of days it's being extremely difficult/impossible to update album covers from the Admin page, takes long time to upload and ends up frequently with an error message !!!

- Please report back, thanks
