Problems with the site

Please move if in the wrong spot..

I want to see if anyone else is having the same problems as me. I am running Google Chrome and no matter what device I use I'm running into the same problem. Any time I try to click in the dialogue box to comment on a thread, start a new message, start a new forum, etc. an ad pops up inside the box and will not let me type.
I just completely reinstalled Windows from scratch on one of my computers mostly for this reason and it still isn't fixed. I've looked through all of my settings in Chrome to make sure this site isn't blocked or anything and everything seems okay. I can't find any adblocker type settings to add to the "white list", which I'll get a popup asking me to do so from this site every few weeks.
If I open elightbars in IE, everything works fine. I have most of the same problems however in Firefox. I use Chrome for everything and it would make it much easier for me to run ELB in Chrome, but I can't anymore.
Please help!

Here is a screenshot of this exact thread from Chrome. As you can see, the ad down below is all distorted and in pieces. When I first open the page, the empty text box seems normal, but as soon as I click on it as if getting ready to type a response, it takes a few seconds, freezes up, then shows a partial ad like you see in the middle of the box and won't let me type anything.

I use Chrome exclusively and have not had this issue. Is your software up to date? Ie flash player, Java, etc?

It almost appears as if the site isn't completely loading

I just reinstalled a fresh copy of Chrome and still having problems. What all should I check as far as the players and such?
Also, as stated above, I am subscribed to many threads, including this one and my storefront, but am not getting emails at all, like I used to get all the time. And I am checked correctly in the boxes.

The email notifications is a site wide issue with no estimate for when it will be fixed. It is an issue with the auto send server. Jman is aware and working on it.

Can you try to sign into the site from FireFox or IE to see if your problems persist?

While we respectfully request that users whitelist our community in ad-blockers, we don't block any functionality if you don't.

Are you signed into Google Chrome Sync across your devices? Maybe you have an add-on that is contributing to this problem.

I tried both Firefox and IE get the same thing.
