Update problems

Hi folks...did a security update this evening to the software that runs the message board. Turns out it broke a few things.
It looks like functionality is pretty much ok, but it's going to take a little while to get it back to what it looked like. I'm going to keep working on it a bit this evening, but might not get it all worked out until I can spend more time on it tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience.

If anyone needs it, here it is.

Fixed. And I think I have the page/link added in such a way that future updates should not break things.

Thanks ST. One thing I noticed on my cell device is that I no longer can scroll horizontally on the leaderboard sheet to get to the Submit Picks link. Turning the phone 90 degrees allows more of it to visible and part of the Submit Picks link shows up. Maybe its just me or maybe I am doing someting wrong, but I dont remember not being able to scroll horizontally on that sheet. Or maybe scrolling was only there when I opened the sheet in a new window like it was before.

Ok, I'll take a look at that and see what I can figure out.

Otherwise, I think things should be pretty much back to normal, so I'll go ahead and "un-sticky" this post.

I was just wondering if I’m the only one noticing way more ads lately.

A couple of days ago, Google changed how they handle serving ads, which has messed up a few things (like occasionally the way the front page display, as well as showing more ads). I have not had a chance to dig into things to figure out how to fix it, but I'm going to do that tonight. I don't want to have to ask you guys for money every year, so an unobtrusive ad at the bottom of the page is how I prefer to pay for the site...but I won't do that if they're going to put ads all over the page. I'll work on it and see if I can minimize the ads you guys are seeing.

Scott, appreciate all you do and would understand if they their is nothing you can do, if you need the ads to make money to keep this site going, then so be it.
