I started a thread in SE on it. Screen capture link too. We are not sure the cause, but Flash ads are suspected.

It was mentioned by James, and in the Speakeasy thread. I discounted it myself because I haven't experienced any Flash problems in my FF browser. But then I thought again.
It is ringing bells. We have had numerous threads about Flash related problems in recent weeks, (browser Flash plugin), much more than normal.
I just wonder if the Download.com problems lately reported are related?
Just a thought.

From what I've read, they're encountering issues even when they attempt to follow the download link directly. Still driving me nuts, though; I hate not being able to answer a question, let alone not understand why it's affecting so many seemingly random people. Hopefully the engineers will be able to explain the cause to us once they figure it out.

I took a screenshot the very first time I encountered the page looking eskew.
It's dated January 12th. I don't know long other's have been experiencing it, but it seems to have started (inmy case) quite some time ago.
FWIW: It ceased a few weeks ago. ![]()
That's the story. And I'm stickin' to it!

It figures. After all of these years of breaking the forums and encountering some of the worst bugs, including the inability to post under my own username, my karma has swung in the opposite direction. And wouldn't you know it, now I want to experience the bugs.
That's my committal story, and I'm stickin' to it! ![]()

That one's about an issue with an older version of CNET's video player, something that's not used in advertisements, or the forums in general. Also, it would cause multimedia content not to play, not broken HTML, a duplication of the header, et cetera. Interesting, though.

before the previous page fully loads. Maybe slowing down would help. It doesn't happen daily and is easily remedied by exiting and reloading.
If there is no ad, then this issue may not be related to an ad causing the issue.
Thanks.

As far as I know our Ad dept said that this issue with that particular ad that was causing the issue was either removed or fixed.
Please let me know if anyone else (who doesn't use adblock) sees some problems with ads that are being served on our site. And if you can please document it with a screen shot and what ad it was, would be very helpful to us.
Thanks everyone for your help.
