All of a sudden today I am seeing giant logos for the Straight Dope appearing after every single post in every thread. I am using Mercury on an iPhone because the SDMB gives so many redirect ads in Safari. This is what I see in every post:

Yep, it’s happened to me. Graphics all switched around, the sdmb banner showing up in place of the “quote” button. Restarting my browser and/or improving my connection fixes it.
