Default WTF is going on with the forums!??

I started getting all sort of weird behavior from my browser so I started looking....

It's a bunch of cookies and security settings...this place is full of "reporting cookies" or something.

Just a few of the cookies it wants to set:
rover.ebay.com
core.insightexpressai.com
afe.specificclick.net
dg.specificlick.net

I didn't have this before (same browser, no updates on my end), but now the forums won't work right unless I allow all of these cookies., at least not a lot of the time and with Camino...
I can get around fine with Firefox, but I'm going to have to check my security setting there too I guess...

Its been acting funny here to,

refreshing itself, posts not showing up until it flashes and refreshes the page.

Overall slugginess.

Just a hunch, but I think it has something to do with their ad software. I'm in the process of making a photo book for the last wedding I shot, and now I'm seeing tons of ads on DPS for "Make a photo book!".

It's been acting weird for me too. If I re-visit a page, it doesn't show the new page, but what was on it the last time I looked. I have to refresh it every time I go back to it.

Very strange behavior. Not to mention the "This page is currently unavailable" problems I had most of the day yesterday.

Sign me up for the weirdness too! I'll click on a link and the page will continually keep refreshing, but not let me see any new posts.

Pretty much the same issues are reported in this thread too:
I can't reply to a posting in SYS!

Yea, I'm having this trouble too. I made thread in SYS and when I went back to it a while later, it didn't show up on the page. I assumed that since I posed at 740px and the rules say 700px, it had been deleted by a mod. I made a new post with 400px images then saw this thread. When I refreshed the page, there was my other post. No way to delete our own threads either?

I started getting this too now.

I'm not willing to let this site load up my computer with "tracking/reporting cookies" just so I can post here... This needs fixed, SOON! Getting around all of the bugginess and cookies is too much of a hassle.
