Regarding forum problems a few moments ago...

Hey guys, you've probably had to relogin and noticed the server was down for about an hour. It was my fault in trying to apply the SMF 2.0.14 upgrade to a SMF 2.0.13 working installation... SMF used to have a very reliable patch system, but this time it took the server down and no database connections could be made. I had to scramble with Aaron to figure it out, ultimately it was a tip on the support forums that saved the day here: https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=554387.msg3941759#msg3941759

Anyway, everything seems to be back to normal, and I guess we'll be sticking with SMF 2.0.13 after that experience... :/

I got a weird error message last night when I tried to browse on my phone, thought it was my mobile acting up

After the last post an any given page, such as this one, there is now a "dead" spot which looks like a half formed space where a post would occupy. It wasn't there before. It bugs me.

I think you mean the 3rd ad spot; it's blank at first, but after 3 seconds you should see an ad load. Sometimes loading fails, so a refresh might get it to show up unless ads are not loading at all for you. If you enabled Ad Block, that would explain it. And my change of forcing a sized ad spot at 90 pixels in height also explains it. It's better for browser rendering decisions if objects are sized in advance.

I talked about the changes to Google ads to help speed the page loading here: https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=22594.msg505117#msg505117
