Are those topics you haven't opened? Does it also happen with topics that you did open prior to marking all as read?
I removed the tall ad from the top of the digest and moved it to the bottom of the page. It's the tradeoff to have fewer large ads at the top.
Look into NTP (time service) program for your computer. There should be some free ones. It would pull current time from a known good source as soon as it boots and throughout the day.
Try clearing cookies. You would need to re-login after clearing them, but this is known to fix the issue you seem to be having.
Are you getting this on every page or just randomly?
Please PM me a screenshot of what you see. I'll investigate. We only serve banner ads, not popups.
OK, I have some info about this.
It wasn't on your end after all.
It looks like Google started experimenting with ad sizes without my consent. And it seems to be affecting a small number of users they picked randomly. Like a split-test.
Which explains how clearing cookies "solves" the problem. When you clear cookies, you are then off that small list of users who were selected for this "test". Unless you happen to be randomly added to it again.
Anyway, I'm waiting for their response now. Hopefully they'll stop this madness.
I actually saw what you are talking about on my phone. So out of all my browsers and devices, the browser in my phone seems to be among the randomly selected for this stuff. Good thing I noticed it aa my Google settings explicitly prohibit them from "experimenting". But I guess they don't care about that or it was some kind of error in their system.
So for now clearing cookies (repeatedly if necessary) should take care of it. And I'm sure they'll fix it soon. Because this is just madness of them to change ad sizes randomly.
What do you mean? I haven't made any changes.
Click "My Profile" at the top. Scroll down to " Custom View Settings". Enable "Show active discussions on the home page".
Click X in the top right corner of that ad. In the dialog, select "stop seeing this ad". And that particular advertiser should be blocked from showing that ad to you. At least that's how Google explains it.
You need to contact your e-mail provider's technical support. All "link highlighting" in e-mail happens on the receiving end. If they aren't enabling UHH links, it's probably because of some kind of filter/block/etc., which is managed by your e-mail provider. You need to let them know that you expect UHH e-mail. This is not something I can change from my end.
Sounds like adware on your computer. That's what usually replaces words in the text with links.
Do you notice any pattern to this happening? Or is it random?
You might want to check your computer for adware.
