I just noticed that for some reason I’m getting an enormous amount of “white space” both horizontally and vertically on the pages here. I’m using Windows 7 and Chrome.

It happens on my Android phone. I reload the page and everything is back to normal. It started yesterday.

Are you logged in?
I just tried it on Chrome on Windows 7. I don’t normally use Chrome but I have it installed on this computer, so there’s no ad blocker or anything on it. When I first opened up the SDMB I got a large whitespace at the top of the page, and whitespace on the bottom of the page with an ad off to the left, and a few ads sprinkled around the page (I expected the ads since I wasn’t logged in). Once I logged in, all of the whitespace disappeared along with the ads. This makes me think that the whitespace was related to the advertising.
Since you are a charter member, you shouldn’t be seeing ads, unless you aren’t logged in.

I’m seeing it on other sites now, so it’s probably my browser.
