Haven't been on the forums for a few weeks but just stuck my head in and I keep getting issue 88 sidebar ads on both sides popping up over a big chunk of screen. As I'm browsing on iOS on a phone they're making it almost unusable- they're appearing over content and holding position not scrolling ...

Reported to make mods aware of the issue.

Still happening from time to time.

Guessing it's the code behind the ad itself rather than the main site as nothing else seems to do it.

Double tap on the text to the right of the sidebar, the sidebar will disappear.

Not had it myself (the joys of a P 🙂 ) but that screenshot it looks like an out-of-date stylesheet issue.

Try clearing your browser cache.

In iOS/Safari you do: [i]Settings->Safari->Clear Cookies and Data[/i].
Or some folk say that quitting Safari will also clear the cache without wiping cookies (e.g. on the Home screen, double-tap the Home button to get the app list, find Safari and swipe it upwards to quit it).

Don't know what the equivalents of these are on Android sorry.

I just do the double-tap on the text area thingy to maximise it to full screen, I can't say I've had any real issues with the ads lately, other than the dumping into the App Store issue, but that's a different problem not restricted to STW anyway.

I usually do the double tap thing and it works a treat, but the problem with this sidebar thing is it covers the text on the left so double tapping doesn't work.
It's only happened this once, and it seems to be fine now..
