New thing - started only yesterday, and never had it before (after four years here) - no matter what page I click on to now, there’ll be an inch-high ad running all along the bottom of every page.  
Can this be disabled?

Honest to god, I was about to gift you a year’s worth of membership on a whim.

I got a 504 error from the User CP, before I could even enter payment information.

It’s because your old subscription expired today.

However, your new subscription has kicked in, so you should be good to go now.

I mentioned this in the other thread, but can I just grouse a little that the ads on the bottom of the page block the site navigation dropdown when using the mobile friendly theme. Kind of annoying.
