Happy almost Halloween, everyone!
First, a bit of housekeeping: If you are seeing a Toyota ad pop up at an unreasonable rate — if you are seeing it every single slide in a slide show, for instance — please clear your cache, as we’ve been advised that will help resolve the problem. If you continue to see it at an alarming rate after doing that, please email us at fuggingitup AT gmail so we can help our tech folks suss out what is happening. Because the issue is only happening sporadically, it’s been hard to replicate and fix. We are, however, working very hard on it, I promise! Thank you very much for your patience, your understanding, and for all of your help while we get it to work properly. Ads keep GFY in business (literally; without ads, we will cease to exist), but reader experience is of the utmost concern for me and Heather, and fixing this is a priority for us.
