    Not sure if this is intentional (just to note I have no ad-blocker).

    As per the picture below, this advert appears to clip through the site on Chrome version 40.0.2214.91 m at least.

    Edit: Excuse the ads, I just went for the first image hosting website I could find : /

    Similar problem here using Firefox 35. I have ABP but boards.ie is on the exception list.

    Hi guys, thanks for reporting this. We've paused the ads for now so you shouldn't be seeing them any more.
    They seem to be causing an issue on Firefox so we're waiting for a fix for this - it's a bug on their end not ours.

    Sorry for the delay getting back to you on this.

    Can you tell us if you were experiencing this problem consistently, and if not how frequently it occured e.g. 1 in 10 page views or 1 in 100? Also do you have any other browser extensions installed?

    Thanks.

    I have not seen the problem over the last few days. The last time I seen it was only a few hours or less after my post on the 26th.

    I think I seen it a few times that day and on one of two days before that. My memory of it is not the best though.

    Hi, not seen this appear since. Though I've updated chrome to version 40.0.2214.93m from 40.0.2214.91m.

    At the time I was getting it with every 2 or 3 pages.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
