That empty gap above "Current Events". This started happening yesterday. It wasn't like this before. It takes a while for that gap to fully load and as a result, I've misclicked a few times (like clicking on topics I didn't mean to click on). I use Chrome for anyone who was going to ask.

Is this a site problem or an Adblock Plus problem? Clicking on "Block element" doesn't work as it would pretty much block everything. Why is this happening?

Yea even with the Preserve Ad Space option set to fuck no.

GameFAQs needs to earn its revenue.

With my old EvoTech account I did suggest they make an official app or implement a subscription service. I would have actually contributed through those means.

Another shirt for karma event would be cool too.

That post suggesting setting the preserve ad space option to yes actually helped. Thanks.

Never mind, that didn't help. I guess a certain ad keeps pushing everything down.

Did you disable all other extensions and just use ublock origin?

Yeah the weird thing is mine was always set to "yes" but the issue we're having only started yesterday, even though I never changed the setting.

I filled out a feedback report explaining the issue. I think everyone who is having this problem should do the same.

uBlock Origin works worse for me on this site. I was using ABP and the blank space was there for less than a second, switched to Origin and the blank space stayed there for a whole minute.

This is what I said:

The URL I posted includes a picture (local file is included) that shows off the problem I and other users are having, and that problem is the empty space above the words "Current Events". This gap wasn't there before, but it started appearing yesterday (8/14/2019). It's not just for message boards, it's happening everywhere on the site. The front page, the featured top 10, my account page, you name it. It's all in the same spot at the top just below the "Search Game Titles" search bar.

I use Adblock Plus on Google Chrome. I don't know if ABP is what's causing the issue or if it's a site issue or if it's a certain ad that's causing the problem. I don't know if it's a Chrome issue, but other users are having this problem as well, even with the "Pre-Reserve Ad Space" option set to "Yes" (I was having this problem with "No" as the option as well). I'm not sure if a different ad blocking tool would solve this problem. If not, then this is a problem that should be investigated.

The color scheme I use is "Blue on Black" in case this information is needed.


To get to the feedback form, go to "Help / Contact Us" at the bottom. Scroll down to "More Help / Contact Us" at the bottom and click on "Feedback". Below "Create New Feedback", click on "Errors and Problems". Then click on "I would like to report an error or problem on GameFAQs". Then you'll fill out the feedback ticket.

For "URL with a problem", I just posted a link to this topic since I didn't know what link to post. I figured this topic would do. To find out what your "Skin (Site Display Style)" is, go to your advanced settings in your profile. Include the web browser you're using that's having the problem and then fill out the form. Below the message box, you can include a picture of the problem. Take a screenshot of the page that has the big open area (try not to use mine, the people viewing the feedback form will think it's me using alts to get this point across, which is not what I want; please post your own screenshot and try to word your feedback differently; don't want duplicate feedback forms).

Not sure if I missed anything with the information I posted in the message box. Hopefully I did enough.

Okay, I actually did forget something. I forgot the part where the page gets pushed down, resulting in misclicks. If you're gonna fill out a report, make sure to include that. I'm thinking about pulling my feedback ticket and redoing it to include that information.

Yeah the biggest issue is with the misclicks. I wouldn't care about the gap if it stayed, but the fact that it loads and then disappears is what's annoying. I added that to my ticket.
