Not for me.

Check "Style Chooser" at the VERY bottom of any HTF page.
Your currently selected "Style" is also on the very top, static, banner between "What's New" and "Change Width." - At least on a computer (don't know about mobile). It shows the style you're *not* currently using. I'm on "Light Style" and it's showing me "Dark Style" - if I click that wording my formatting changes to "Dark Style" and it then shows "Light Style."

I reached out to the ad provider about that ad. They had already received numerous complaints about it and blocked the advertiser.

We'll do our best to keep ads like this off HTF, but if any slip through the cracks just message me or @andrew and we'll have the advertiser blocked from showing any future ads.

@Malcolm R Thanks - I've sent that over too so they can be blocked also.

Ps. I also work i public spaces a lot so when Jonathan or I takes care of an ad problem, I'm going to also remove the giant inappropriate photo example from the original post as well since we don't need them in perpetuity. Also, I just had an awkward few minutes in a cafe 😂

The ads are becoming intrusive again, refreshing every 3 seconds or so, and when they refresh, they move my cursor out of this text box when typing a reply. VERY ANNOYING!
@Jonathan - Is anyone looking into this issue? I was just interrupted multiple times trying to type a reply in the Scrooged 4K review thread.

Sorry @Todd Erwin, we're waiting to hear back from them currently. I've sent them a couple questions last week and I'll follow up as soon as the holidays are passed incase it got lost in the shuffle or if our manager is out for the holiday. I've also noticed that happen, infrequently, but it was very annoying when it happened.

@Todd Erwin Just to follow up - I heard back today that they've opened a ticket related to the focus being pulled out of the reply box. Please let me know if you notice any change, whether it's more or less frequently occurring at any point.

I don’t care for the purple but that review is very easy to see and read on my iPad. Doesn’t look like that at all for me.

This is what it looks like on my computer. iPad and MacBook are basically the same as this.

I'm also not a big fan of reversed text, but it reads just fine for me as well.

My guess is the people who are having results like the previous post have something odd configured in the fonts of their browser. The color of the background and boxes are basically the same. It's the text that's different.

Something definitely just changed on the forum, as all reviews now look like this at the top of the page:
