Default Right hand side adverts on Scoobynet.....

They've suddenly re appeared again and I can't get rid of them! Is it just me?
Viewing in Safari if it makes a difference!

Awful for me trying to view on my phone. Page has shrunk to half the size. God knows what it is like for people viewing on a normal sized device. I have an iPhone 6plus!

Yes, same prob here. I thought it was my iPad effing up because my cat walked on it, but now I guess that SN has minimised itself in order to highlight adverts. Or the adverts have maximised themselves in order to take the shine off Scabbynet. One of them, anyway.

I'm on mobile (iPhone 5S) and only have one small advert at the top and bottom. Doesn't affect viewing at all. Just lucky I suppose lol..

Looks to me like someone has been messing with the layout of the page, as the option to change your theme is usually at the bottom of the page.

I think there's a <tr> missing from just after the <!-- /content area table --> comment
If I put one in, it makes it a little better. I'm not about to go debugging this, well, not unless someone at IB wants to pay me my usual consulting fee

I was about to post a thread on this. It's bloody hopeless now - text on main page is far too small and the adverts take up 50% of the screen.

Total joke.

Does anyone ever click on the ads anyway? Tire rack is the worst and 99% of people on the site can't buy from them anyway!!

If it's using using HTML tables then it isn't worth debugging. What is this? 1996? No wonder the site is so slow and cumbersome ... it's probably loading 5 times as much page code as it should be!

Yes, for some reason, it's not looking that bad on iPhone. But on iPad and laptop it's looking awful.

I darn't speculate (ok I will), there could well be a shed load of legacy stuff in this forum fouling it up.


For example, there is some of SDB's stuff is still on here: I know that in the past the model logos/badges ( and "my scooby" ( )avatars that were inherited from SDB caused issues with site speed.

I voted to get rid of them on that premise, but nothing happened, Its not supported for newer models and we still get people asking for additional models to be added to them (hatchback etc), when its not been possible for years upon years.

Not to be confused with I.M. which is another kettle of woe for a scooby enthusiast.
