Is this still an issue for you? Could be a cache issue on your end.

Pardon my ignorance but how do post a link to an article that is worthy of discussion?

Is the big/small situation ongoing?

On Android, still getting huge posts, interspersed with tiny posts.

This problem should be fixed now. If not, try clearing your cache.
Small issue with respect to Forum Options  
GeofromNJ : 9/7/2025 10:23 am : link
The options for the Corner Forum (All Threads, Football Threads, Non-Football Threads, Forum Archives) display only when you mouse over Corner Forum on the home page. Previously the options were available for selection from a drop-down list that displayed on any forum options previously selected. Hope this makes sense.

My error. The drop-down list appears when the view is reduced in size.
If your window is less than 1080 pixels wide  
Gary from The East End : Admin : 9/7/2025 5:25 pm : link
You get the three line icon (hamburger menu) on the far right instead of the dropdown menu.

You can either make your window wider or click on the three line icon to access the mobile menu
What's with the McFadden thread?  
Gruber : 9/8/2025 2:23 pm : link
It says I can't view it.
It's got one reply or post.
And it's showing as "Potential spam."
New issue of as last night  
10thAve : 9/9/2025 10:34 am : link
When I go into a thread for the first time, I get audible music playing from some ad, even when I have volume muted on my phone. I’m not sure which ad it’s coming from as the video ads show up as not playing.

If I go back to the Forum then back into the same thread the music doesn’t play.
Ads cutting out my pods  
Blueworm : 9/9/2025 11:47 am : link
If I come to the site with a podcast playing in the background, the ad supersedes it without my interaction.

Can't use it on mobile like this.

Following up on this, I’m now getting this same music when I go to the Corner Forum. Any idea of what is causing it? As mentioned earlier it just started happening to me last night.

same. The ads are coming in blaring music. Makes it hard to stealth check BBI at work
same instructions  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 9/9/2025 6:42 pm : link
if you see a problematic ad (one auto playing music), send me a screen shot PLUS the URL to info@bigblueinteractive.com.

That’s the problem, none of the video ads that show up are actually playing. If I click on them they play but they aren’t playing automatically, but yet some music is. I looked at the whole page and didn’t see any that were actually playing.

I don't doubt you, but I'm on the site all day, every day, with my speakers on. If I can't replicate it or have someone provide me with that info, I can't fix it.

I get it. It stopped as of last night so maybe it was just a bug or something on the ad side.
Very slow/unresponsive on my MacBook.  
SirLoinOfBeef : 9/15/2025 1:03 pm : link
Freezes often and crashes a ton.

I've cleared the cache/history many times, and it persists.

Thank you.
I'm not new, obviously  
Beezer : 9/15/2025 4:02 pm : link
but didn't want to start a thread about it. Just a minor annoyance, really.

Essentially this ... the pop-up ads have really taken over the BBI experience, from where I sit. I'd estimate that I need to click out of 2 ads every 2 minutes just to continue to read a post (just happened) ... I'm not super tech-savvy, so any advice is welcomed.

But holy crapola ... ad! ad! ad! lol (I DO hope you are making money on them, Eric.)

Hey Eric, or support: How can I update my email address in my profile? I can add other things like where I am from ect....but don't see how I can change my email address. I have left the address you have here. Please LMK. Thanks.

The only way to update e-mail addresses is to contact us directly (info@bigblueinteractive.com). The reason for that is we don't want people using bogus e-mail addresses.

You're all set. When I replied to your e-mail, I got a weird error message so I don't know if you got it.

Hmm....I did not. I checked my spam too and nothing there. I sent another just to try again. NP if you don't have the time. Thanks.

Site resets & loses poats  
pivo : 10/14/2025 10:45 am : link
I’m rewriting this post after a “reset” erased it.
I can live with resets that return to the spot. Returning to the OP on a long interesting thread is annoying, but losing posts on a reset is not acceptable.

I emptied my history & that seemed to help. All good!
I get the advertising  
Blueworm : 11/3/2025 8:27 am : link
When I arrive at the site.

I have been having them pop up in the midst of writing a reply, which is a little frustrating.

It can wait until after I post it. That's a more natural point.
