"Can you help us"/Adblocker message... but not using an ad blocker
I've noticed that the right edge of every page has two red "nag" boxes... one of them requests that I "disabl[e my] AdBlocker..." -- but I'm not using an AdBlocker and don't really appreciate the guilt tripping accusation... Especially since the same pages have two banner ads very visible

Same issue here. I’ve got ads and the very polite red boxes requesting no ad blocker.
I downloaded a new IPad update, but it doesn’t appear to be blocking ads.
Update: Also having the same issue on my laptop, which didn't have an update

yes I’m running an ad blocker, but those red “nag boxes” that
used to hover over the page now remain in the rightmost 1/3 of the page, and therefore reduce the display width of the rest of the columns on the page — iPhone; haven’t looked on desktop

1. wiki expansion is broken on some browsers: Clicking "Click here to display Full Wiki" merely jump to top of Page
2. "like" isn't working (click to "like" a post and nothing happens, not even ARG4: UNDEFINED)
Seems like y'all hosed your Javascript code somewhere.

Photo uploads not working for some users: Unable to post pictures
Spurious/incessant nag messages about ad blocking: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tech...d-blocker.html (people who don't use any form of blocking are getting the nag message)
Congrats to IB on another thoroughly QAed software rollout!
EDIT rather than self-bumping:
- multi-quote button also does nothing if you click on it, which tracks with all the other stuff. I imagine it's anything wired up to a JS callback...

When on safari incognito mode (iOS 15.6) when you open forum you have click accept twice (for cookies and privacy settings). However the button you first have to click is hidden behind the second one so you can’t click it . Only workaround is to ask for desktop site.

Apologies for not knowing the technical terminology but some of the buttons/links on the forum aren't working for me on Safari or Chrome.
1. The folder links at the top left of your page - menu links. For instance FlyterTalkForums > Miles&Points>Airlines and Mileage Programs > British Airways Executive Club - I can't click any of them when normally I can.
2. Post Quick Reply and Go Advanced buttons not working. In order to post this I had to 'quote' a previous reply, input my text and delete the quote.
3. Uploading screenshots/photos. I cannot not use the 'upload from device' button as it does nothing - which would perhaps have made the explanations given above a bit clearer.....Furthermore, if you try to upload and realise you can't, none of the cancel buttons work so you have to back screen.

The quick reply box seems smaller too. But that could be my imagination.
For point 1) I haven't suffered that issue with these changes but the last bunch of changes I did. It was an ad blocker ultimate issue for me and now I only have ublock origin active on this site.
Edited: I just noticed that ad blocker as one word results in ......... censorship!

many reported issues work for me
I don't doubt that all the problems reported exist for the reporters. For once, I'm lucky. This is on a MacBook, macOS 11.6.8, Firefox 103.0.2.
I only tried it on one wiki, but that one opened for me.
I do get the the two boxes with red title blocks on every page. Is that what you mean by incessant?
I used multi-quote to generate this response.
I only tested it with one forum, and it worked. (I normally don't navigate that way.)
I did not attempt other reported issues, most notably uploading photos.

I misread the linked thread. However it does seem some people who don't use a blocker, are nevertheless getting the nag message. Will edit my original post.

FWIW the above reported issues do not appear for me when using Opera in desktop mode on my Android smartphone (even with blocking turned on). So I agree that this seems browser/OS dependent.

I'm getting the nag boxes too. No ad blocker in use. Ads are showing as usual.

Notifications Drop Down no longer shows New Post Quotes
Even more breakage. Under the "Welcome, DELee" where "Your Notifications" would a) show a numeral + down indicator arrow and then b) a drop down when the down arrow was selected, neither is the notification count updated nor new post quotes shown in the drop down when new post quotes occur across FT.
This is really awesome. Not.

I'm reporting all of these issues to tech. Thanks guys. Seems like the most pressing is buttons randomly not working.

Closed/archived threads now have drop downs disabled
1. Still logged into FT
2. Drop downs work in existing fora
3. Switch to a closed/archived thread - mine I picked COVID Era UA inflight service changes {Archive} - Page 104 - FlyerTalk Forums
4. Tried to use the drop down for "Search this Thread" - doesn't work. Additionally all other drop downs across the page not working. The three horizontal lines at the top left corner of the page are gone. Drop downs next to "Community", "Wiki Posts", etc. not working.
5. Tab back to prior active forum - all drop downs working
So much fun.
