Yup. I have stopped watching videos also. Took a chance on one a few days ago that I really wanted to see and realized the videos now have several ads that just cut right into the interviews. It's ridiculous. There were two ads within about 60 seconds or so. Just closed it out.

The trick with BroadwayWorld TV that always works for me is to watch through the article pages where there's just one commercial at the front.

I think the one on every page is one of those annoying ad-supported preview widgets that I wish they'd let us pay a few bucks a month to get rid of.

Thank you mitchern. You’re a genius. That worked! Lesson learned. Thank you again.

With today's change to the fonts you can no longer toggle the spoiler box in a post. The only way I can see a spoiler is to start a reply to the post, and it shows up in that.

Why the font change? I liked it how it was.

I like that the video that was sliding in from the right side of my screen on my Chromebook seems to be gone. It blocked part of the right side of the bars at the top and I had to scroll to click on what I wanted.
Update: It's back! Oh well. But it seems not to block the top part and pops up after I start scrolling.

When clicking on last post I am taken to the last page of the thread. Previously I would be taken to the actual post regardless of where it is in thread.

Please force users to adopt a screen name other than these generic multi-number ones beginning with Ensemble######### that make it difficult to distinguish them from each other.

The alignment seems off. At least when reading this on a mobile device. The message boxes used to center on my screen. Now they are too wide and I have to slide my screen side to side to read the full text. Or hold my phone in a horizontal position.
Harder to read the smaller font.

Was just going to post this. It's off and on about the alignment and the font size.

Yes, I'm on a laptop presently and the alignment has been randomly becoming this:

Just sent the article on Harold Wheeler's passing to a friend on her iPhone and tried to open it on my Pixel. The article it's unreadable as ads are covering it.

Trying to search if a thread was already started. I can select Search and enter the fields for my search but there's no longer a button to start the search

Working now. Thank you.

The shape of profile pics keeps changing. On my Pixel phone they are now a circle and on my Chromebook they are oval shaped cutting off faces or not showing people's full pictures.

It seems like embedded links in posts no longer are a different color to indicate they're clickable (example right here). They show up as blue in the editing textbox, but not on the actual post.
Edit: seems to be fixed now, thanks!

On the app the Broadway News page will not open - just says “Loading” accompanied by spinning. This is what is seen when first opening the app.

Shubert Alley Cat, sent you a PM as well. Are you able to share which platform you're on (iPhone, Android), etc - and if you have any pending updates in the App Store for BroadwayWorld HD?
Thanks!

I visit BWW via iPhone. Whenever I go to the site, the main page never changes. It’s the same stories from weeks and weeks ago. It’s only when I clear my search history and then go back to BWW, that the stories update. Anyone else have this problem? For example, for over 3 weeks the top story was Ethan what’s his name was going to be in little shop of horrors.

Today I started getting the "Gateway Time-Out" screen whenever I go to post or quote a comment on my Chromebook. My comment shows in the thread though.
I have also been noticing in the News Section that articles are posting twice.
