Starting yesterday or so, when I pull up a thread to view the individual posts, the right hand half of the page is black and the left side has the post albeit in teeny tiny print. I am viewing on an android tablet, fairly new. I am suspicious of the ads, since any list of the threads from either a forum head or from the search function for "recents" is fine . Anyone else having this problem? Ideas?

Does the same to me when i use my phone (Android). Doesn't do it on my chromebook. Edit, nevermind, i can scroll over to the right, into the black Abyss. It doesn't automatically try to fit everything into the screen like my phone does.

Same thing here. The black bar does not always appear. But it happens often enough. I am using an Android phone. I'll check the Ipad later.

I have also noticed the black on the right only appears when I open a thread, any thread. When I open the Kubota Talk list of topics no black on the side.

Normal on my Macbook Pro. Must be a phone/iPad thing.

Just checked the wife's IPhone, same thing.
For me it is all three of my devices, Android phone, I Phone, and I Pad.

Are you running an Ad Blocker? I am not seeing that on my iPhone and I run Ad Block.

I think it is the OTT sponsored link ad, with the airplane and fight head scab. For a period of time I had no ad in that spot, and was thinking how great that was.

The odd thing is the text that trails into the black box says, besides a bunch of text string, says "child directed treatment" ????

One way or another it is really annoying. I had to go buy a new tablet to get rid of the floating black box, and was running an ad blocker then, don't want to have to do that again.

For me, it's been a fungicide add in the center showing up. No other adds showing. That narrow screen thing is pretty annoying.
