Back to normal, thank you!

(Now if the programmers could come up with some code to auto-resize overly large photos embedded into posts, it would be great.)

Hmm... can you try opening in a different browser? You may have cached the old version.

Mine is back to normal now, too. Thanks.

Scrolling has been fixed on the notebook 1024x768, but there is still white space for the ads, where as before with the ads blocked use to fill the screen on both notebook & iPad.

I may be wrong about this, but something tells me that IB isn't going to be all too concerned about what the ad blocker you use does to your browser page, seeing as how you'd be continuing to be blocking one of their revenue sources, even if they were to fix it.

You are not wrong about this, Aero ;)

Yeah well 5 ads per page seems excessive enough to block them.

IB still has not come up with a subscription model to not show ads a year after they took it away.

That is a fair point about the subscriptions; I'll get an update on where we are with the timing on that. There will actually be several levels of premium membership, and I believe the most basic starts with ads-free browsing.

Happy to look at those options when they come through, as I'm not always on a network that supports my current Ad Blocking practice.

I generally don't have an issue with sites using ads, when they affect the site loading times and screen size of content, which in FT is the right side of screen, I will block.

For the cost of 2 ads on the right side of screen, couldn't they be placed inline, to make the website appear full screen. After all, once you scroll down a thread past 2 ads, it's just dead space, making people scroll more and more to reach the bottom, wasting screen space.

Ad- blocks and subscriptions
 

Whilst that was not at the the heart of the problem - although only IB can say if they made the header wider to fit in more ads! ;-)

For years I happily paid the subscription "to put something back" for the benefit I perceived I got from FT. Losing the ad-block made me look elsewhere and Firefox and the ....... gives me the same for free now. Try selling that back to me ;-)

Not as bad as it was with the previous problem reported in this thread, but whenever I open a thread with a wiki at the top, the width of the wiki box is preset to extend about an additional 25% past the horizontal page boundary.

I tried forcing carriage returns into the text in one wiki to see if it had dynamic sizing, but the width remained the same.

Is it possible to get the same fix done for wikis as was done previously for the prior problem?

Thank you.

Thank you AeroWesty. What browser and device are you using? This might be an issue if you are using FlyerTalk on your cellphone but should be fine on a computer.

As usual, I don't think it's a browser issue. (Sigh)

I have the same issues for quite some time now ever since the wikipost feature was enabled but I didn't/don't have the energy to report it.

The page format shows problems in two ways:

1. When I am logged in, the page "overspill" problem only applies to wikipost itself. All the rest of the thread/posts are "normal" for my viewing pleasure (meaning no scroll required).

2. However, if I am browsing FT without log-in, both the wikipost and all the posts in thread are "spillover" that I have to scroll (to the right) to read any of them.

But, fwiw, I am no FF using my loyal Thinkpad laptop.

lin821, the reason that we ask for device and browser info is because we can see all pages fine on our end, even those with wiki posts, so it is hard for us to reproduce the problem. I'll forward the information you provided to our tech team. Thank you.

Here's one example thread of the problems I've been seeing:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/china...ion-again.html

The funny thing is not every thread with wikiposts that I have visited is problematic. For instance, this thread is absolutely 100% normal, one more rebuttal to why it isn't any user's and/or browser issue. I can see both normal and "spillover" wikipost threads on my one and only Thinkpad. For me, the only reasonable and logic explanation is something's wrong with the source, aka FT.

Your tech team can play detectives to find out why the problem behavior isn't consistent across all threads with wikiposts on FT. I guess it will be another unsolved mystery for IB, just like the phantom page phenomenon not happening to every thread that had posts removed.
