Have a great day from all of us at SCM!

Big Bear Bub, thank you so much for the donation to the site! I appreciate you!

Long overdue donation just sent your way! Thanks for all you do - love your website!

Desktop mode also corrected a bunch of display issues that had popped up in the last month with
Youtube...

Thanks Craig & HIB for the troubleshooting hint- it totally fixed the problem on my Samsung too! Much appreciated!

Thanks HIB! Great to hear!

If it helps, issue was/is on a motorola moto smartphone, and not the samsung galaxybtablet...

Thanks craig i tried the desktop setting and it apparently worked, pulled socal up without it and immediately got the full page orange ad that kills the experience... thanks for all you do sir!

FULL-SCREEN AD ISSUES ON SCM (Mobile Phones)

Thanks to HIB for pointing out the ongoing problem with ads taking over the entire screen on iPhone and Android browsers. I know this has been frustrating, and I'm still working on it.

In the meantime, Rad Cabin reminded me that several users have fixed it by turning on "Desktop Mode" in their phone's browser (Chrome on Android, Safari on iPhone). I posted a quick how-to earlier this year, and I'm sharing it again for anyone who hasn't tried it yet. It only takes a few seconds:

If you've tried it and you're still having trouble, let me know. Your feedback helps me track down the problem.

Have a great day from all of us at SCM!

Looking at it from another device its an amazon ad, too big to tell on the phone, but it was difficult to dodge it long enough to say " help!" I'll dare try it again in the morning...

or PM / email me a screenshot and I can take action

HIB, bummed to hear that. The ads are NOT supposed to wreck your experience. Who is the ad for????

Big orange ad destroying the opening page, help??
