Weird sidebars / huge spaces / pages not loadingFollow

The sidebars have been loading really weirdly for me:

(screenshots of same page)

Also getting huge gaps between sidebar & thread content.

I've also been having an issue where I'd have to refresh a page 5-6 times to get it to load- the sidebar and background would load but the rest of the content would stop halfway through text or pictures. I was unable to replicate it right now, but it's been happening to almost every page over the last couple of days.

Wierd, every now and then I get the first picture, but with a big variation.

Said first picture only happens to me when i'm viewing a list of threads and in which case I still have everything else where it's supposed to be and I can click on everything fine; one refresh fixes everything for me though.

<- firefox 1.5.etc

I've been experiencing similar problems, where pages wouldn't display and various parts are formatted incorrectly. Right now the menu is 75% the width of my browser window and the rest of the site is displayed inside the menu block, beneath the last menu item.

Currently, I get this script error:

 
Line:  198 
Char:  1 
Error: Syntax error 
Code:  0 
URL:   http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=3;mid=1178760373149377023;num=2;page=1 


I'm running IE7. I have been successfully using it to view Allahkazam.com for a while now; This problem has only occured only very recently.

Glad to see i'm not the only one.

Yup, Same here. I think this problem started for me on Monday..

Firefox or IE. Different PCs... it doesn't matter. I still get "errors on the page".

I have to refresh anywhere from 1 - 6 times before the page sometimes loads.

I've been having the exact same problem this week. I use Firefox instead of IE... IE sucks. This problem for me is Alla only. No other site or message board is having problems.

When you get the errors, what Ad company is it provided by?

You should see the "Ad Provided by Tribal etcetc" stuff, if you could tell us here what that is I'd be appreciative..

I'm guessing it's a busted ad code, since only nonpremium seem to be having this problem.

Oh, right, I'm blind. Tribal, hrm. They subcontract out, so that doesn't help much =/

Next time someone gets that, please post here or PM me the source code to the page, or just the Ad part of the page if you want to clip that out, so I can see if it's putting in HTML tags that are mangling the page.

I've been sitting on my other PC logged out of my account, refreshing the page over and over on and off for an hour and I still haven't gotten a broken one, so any page code or anything would be helpful...

It might also be a geographically targetted ad like the vertical ones.

Ad provided by Tribal 728x90 ROS2
Ad provided by EGameLogic 728x90

Is this what you need? These are the only ads appearing on the screwy pages I get... where the menu bars down the left come half way across the screen.

Or, alternately, also let me know if it happens on a non-Tribal Fusion ad, that would let me rule that possibility out too.

Argh, yeah, that's what I needed, but it means it's not tribalfusion only at fault.

It only happens when the ad in that part of the page is in "landscape" form. When the page loads normally then it's one of those tall "portrait" forms. You just gotta stop them putting in those landscape ads in the menu section. That's what's ******** it all up.

Oh, crap, it's putting horizontal ads in the vertical area too, now?

It also looks like in that second shot, everything between the Stats and the ad code got eaten up.

I've edited the front page's HTML a bit to try and stop it if stuff's getting eaten.

Raw HTML would be great though for a misloaded page, either PMed or emailed to me, danalog at allakhazam.com

Is this only happening on the FFXI and WWW site, or the others too?

I've made a few layout changes to the FFXI and WWW sites to try and make them less suceptable to a bad ad code.

You might need to shift refresh once to keep the ad from being on top of the mediabox on FFXI.
