I didn't even get the latest anything loaded. Bloody favoritism that's what is is.

Look on the bright side - the Lounge is devoid of my terrible puns.

You're right. But when I said "...the Lounge is devoid of my terrible.", people just looked at me blankly.

Care to make a different suggestion, at the ehm... Bugs and suggestions?

How about that - corruption in our Redis cache. And of course it waited until we were all in a chocolate coma and hence unable to do anything except whimper slightly.

I see the article's forum. I still don't see the TODO list with IE8. I see an occasional "error on page" on the article in IE8.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

IIRC a few years ago CP started buying backfill ads from double-click when they had a shortage of programming related banners to show.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This particular ad is that for a rather controversial Indian politician who is a potential Prime Minister candidate. Showing the ad to Indian members is akin to showing a pro-Obama or pro-Romney banner ad to Americans (back in 2012). I am fairly sure it's a 3rd party service pushing that ad and not CP directly. So I was the one who asked OP to report it here.

yeah, I know who he is and why so many people have a big problem with him. I was just commenting on where/how I thought it showed up.

Interesting. I would never have thought anyone who did not live in India or at least had an Indian background would know who he is

I have a subscription to The Economist, mostly for the quality of it's international news (vs all the MBA/Wall Street content it's best known for). I haven't counted, but I'd guesstimate that at least one article about something from India is generally in at at least every other issue; and "Can anyone stop Narendra Modi?[^]" was last week's cover story.
Outside of that, I saw mention of him recently on another board I frequent where someone else saw an attack article and was asking if he really was that bad, and I think I've seen at least one mention about the upcoming election *somewhere* in the US press in the last few months.

Ah, alright.

That should never happen. We've specifically blocked political ads.
Please ensure you click the X at the top left to report this ad. We can then track it down and block it.

Check this screenshot. Clickety[^] Found bunch of off-topic ads.
I was loading random CP pages randomly for last 20-30 mins for you to get those ads. I have reported all those ads except that lipstick ad because there's no option & that's a video ad. And check the red circle inside image, I think that could help you on some way.

In the Forum, when you click Bookmark with Fluid Layout active, you get an icon that appears lower and behind some other icons.
I have uploaded an image of this Here[^], and I have replicated the glitch on both FireFox and Chrome (Up to date as of 04-18-2014).

That is something active for some months. There are new cathegories for the users.
The little head is for the people that just registered.
The other ones you can see them here[^]

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
