So after my issues seemed to go away, another popped up. BWW started freezing up and causing me not to be able to switch tabs. It still would not let me turn my ad blocker off. I was also getting ads on the right side of my screen blocking comment content. So this morning I decided to see what would happen if I removed my ad blocker and sure enough, that was it. So now if I want to come to this site on my Chromebook I can't have an ad blocker, which I use for other sites and have no problem with. Why won't BWW allow an ad-blocker just to be turned off? It worked before.

The post times seem to be five hours behind the current Eastern time at the moment.
Well, I'll be. That bird really did it.

I use an ad blocker and it's a pain when I come on this site. Everything now on BWW has become annoying from these quirks, how they run the site and general tone of comments from so many people is negative.

I made the ultimate mistake of clicking on the video today of Cush Jumbo and David Tennant advertising the upcoming release of their Macbeth in cinemas. This was a 6:55 video that I thought I would enjoy but it was literally interrupted FIFTEEN, yes 15!!!! times in 7 minutes with ads. Broadwayworld - if you really expect anyone to watch these videos, please stop the madness with the ads.

The pop-up videos on this site, especially the mobile version, are the most annoying feature. Constantly having to X out the video with every page refresh is frustrating.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Yes, the constant ads during the videos are annoying. I just don't watch them anymore.
Also, on my Chromebook, when I go to the off-topic board and click on a thread title, it doesn't open the thread. Just takes me back to the main Broadway Forum. I have to try two or three times to possibly get a thread to open.
Also the ads that now appear right inside the comment boxes are really annoying. That video that runs on the right side of the screen sometimes covers content.
I have a Pixel phone and for some reason I now always have to sign in to BWW if I want to comment. My login used to be saved.

what's going on with not allowing images to upload? using ".jpg" and nothing comes up.

It looks like today's grosses thread isn't available to view or comment on. Clicking on the link just returns to the main thread list, and I can see that there aren't any comments on it yet.

So it continues...on my Chromebook I started getting a "Performance issue alert" pop up. It says "This tab is using extra resources. To improve your performance, let Chrome make it inactive " Underneath that there is the BWW logo with Broadway Message Board & Forum next to it. Under that, two buttons. One to "dismiss" and one to "Fix now". When this pops up it literally stalls my home wifi. This is ridiculous.

On my iPhone 12 Pro, I can not log in using the app. When I click on the upper right corner hamburger menu, I can see 9 different page selections, each on a red background i.e. news, chat, jobs, etc. But underneath "stage mag" there are two more selections: "Register" and "Sign in". I can see these only briefly, as they are covered by the menu bar at the bottom of the screen. No matter what I do I can't find a way to access the sign in link at the very bottom of that list of options. (I'm posting this message on my computer using the website, where I can log in.)
