To get rid of the 403 errors I had to move off my ad provider and straight to Google Adsense. I'm using the "auto ad" feature that allows Google to place ads where it makes sense, but clearly there are too many right now.

I will tweak things until my new provider comes on board. Please be patient. I'm trying to make this the best user experience. 

Thanks for your hard work to keep the site up.  Things seem to be much better this morning, for the best day of the year, deadline day.  Yesterday afternoon I couldn't access the site at all, I tried multiple browsers and kept getting a certificate error that said the site wasn't safe enough to access.  Seems to be better today though, thanks.

I moved the nameservers to a different site and then added cnames to get to the subdomain here at the forums. The forums here are secured but I'm not sure if something weird happened when things were propagating.

Hopefully that certificate error is gone but if anyone get it again, let me know what what browser you are using. Thanks.

BTW, Safari browser has always had issues with this forum and googleads so please consider using chrome to view this site if possible.

Thanks, I am not an IT guy so most of that is over my head but I appreciate you working through it.  I was using Chrome and Duck Duck Go

I was able to exclude a lot of areas so there are not so many ads in the threads themselves. Give it a bit and then let me know if you are seeing less. Thanks for your patience while I work through this.

Tony, thanks for your work on this. I've run an Invision based car forum community for 20+ years. I know it's not easy.

Having said that, this is what I see right now on Android Chrome:

Hmm, that is quite weird. Never seen that before.

Anyone else having this issue on their phone with Android/chrome?

I can check later because that's what I have.

Happens on iOS and Edge for me. Basically, a ton of ads littered every few posts on the listing pages. I'm on desktop Windows/Edge now and don't see it, but I'll keep an eye out.

Thanks. I made some tweaks that should have started to work by now. Let me know if it's still an issue on the phone.

Yes, I have the exact same problem and when I am on my iPhone, the ads are so large that it is extremely difficult to actually get to the content. For instance, all my account info is at the top of the page, and it is quite literally blocked by an ad that will not go away. I can arrow it up Briefly, but then it just comes right back down.

I don’t recall whether it is an issue on my iPad, but it’s a real problem on my phone.

I really appreciate the work you’re doing and I know it’s a major pain in your butt

We'll find a happy medium here soon. Thanks for the feedback.

    • I don’t disagree…the Holliday error made the situation difficult. That said, when presented with 2 bad choices, I think you should choose the lesser of 2 evils and Akin facing the lefties that struggle may have been just that.
    • The three pitch strikeout of Devers opening a zombie runner inning was a nice accomplishment. Some of what stung was the slip costing Akin a possible confidence builder.    That said, O'Neill ended up getting a very nice pitch to hit, and I believe Hyde has also been specific at times about Akin's mistakes being too hittable, possibly also some of why he was quick to exit the dugout in that instant. It was easier last year when McKenna ruined a near Fenway win early in the season.     Felix didn't get derailed by that one, and hopefully Akin too can keep up the mostly good work.   70 innings of 25% K-bb is a very fine year.
    • I also wonder if he was mad at Akin. He has made some comments about guys making mistakes when they have been directed to pitch around (rather than intentionally walk) dangerous hitters.  https://www.masnsports.com/blog/brandon-hyde-s-take-on-why-the-o-s-issue-so-few-intentional-walks  
    • Sosa was much more raw then I was led to believe. MUCH MORE RAW in every aspect of his game.
    • I tend to agree with this and have also always said that the emphasis in the minors could be resulting in giving us false impressions of how good our prospects are.  No one is saying that pitch selection isn't important, but you can afford in the minors to spit on pitches that you are going to have to hit in the majors.  In the minors, lack of command will result in greater results for being selective.  In the majors, guys have enough command to throw what you think are bad pitches in the zone more often.  Our guys get used to not swinging at certain strikes in the minors because they can't do "damage."  There is a good possibility that we are having players narrow the strike zone too much in the minors.  When they get to the majors, they then don't swing at pitches they have to swing at because ML pitchers can consistently throw pitches in that area.  The players then have to unlearn not swinging at such pitches, and also learn how to hit those pitches.  We are seeing this with Gunnar and pitches on the outside part of the zone.  I also think Cowser's offspeed issues are likely related to his approach to just not swing at them as often in the minors.  
    • I really can't argue that overall, though it's really tough to put the winning run on 2nd base with one out. I think the problem with that is Masataka Yoshida was on deck, and while he struggled against lefties overall, he does do a good job of situational hitting.  At the end of the day, I'd feel a lot better pitching to him with only the tying run on 3rd, not the winning run on 2B.
