When I open the forum on my Sony xperia smart phone I get a black advertising banner on the bottom of the screen, what's that all about ?

It looks like that black advertising bar has replaced that POS "chika" floating ad bar that used to annoy me on the iPad
This black one I don't mind so much, honestly

The "Chika" ad was a real pain in the azz to close, the X was nearly impossible to tap without opening the ads (especially on the iphone) and it would often float up and cover the page.
This black one I can leave there or just hit the X and make it go away

Updating forum software and adjusting some settings that have changed.
Are you logged in on the mobile version of site? Ads shouldn't show if you are logged in

Logged in on full site not mobile version.
Ad banner reappears on every page I navigate to
Could you take a screenshot of what you're seeing. Thanks
Here you go, though it now only appears on the forum home page as seen

What happened to the forum guys? All I get on my laptop is a baby blue screen with 'Metro' written at the top... is this the new format?
EDIT: Just read Dave's advice about the bottom left menu (select fluid ww2 updates) and got the old format back. MUCH better!

Karl, this is what I was having to deal with before...
That "Chitika" (I was spelling it wrong earlier) Ad would occasionally have no option to close and it would move around the screen, totally killing my visit to the server. So this latest one is much better for both my iPad and iPhone!

Since the site update I cant view the Aviation forum. If I click on the blue Aviation link on the menu of forums the menu page just reloads just reloads and I get nowhere. I can enter any other forum by clicking the blue links (though I havent clinked on all the gaming links) but not Aviation I can click on the >> button to visit the last post on aviation but thats it.

Not sure if this is the site or my PC but......
1. I'm having trouble with the Basic Uploader. The "Select Files" button does not work - I have to click the Basic Uploader link on the right. And I'm not able to select multiple files at once like I used to. I can only upload one pic at a time.
2. The window for Mod panel was overlapping onto other screens. Very weird.
3. Using the "Quotes" has produced dome wonderful effects. It once took 10 minutes to accept. Just recently it showed a new post by....me! It was listed when I checked for "New Posts", as if I wasn't the person logged in. Very strange.

What style do you use? Metro or the fluid_ww2_update one? If you use the fluid_ww2_update as your default one it is probably the reason. There are still errors of the template that appeared after the recent upgrading. Therefore Horse switched to the Metro style that is free of errors methinks.

Yeah, I'm using the fluid. The metro is hard on the eyes....
