21. Ad provider is currently my #1 suspect

I believe most if not all of the people reporting this were either not Star Members or were not logged in at the time, which means that something to do with the ads is probably to blame. I've been in touch with my ad provider and they're taking look. It is interesting that using or not using an ad blocker doesn't seem to make a difference. It could also be related to a separate issue from late last week.

Anyway -- fortunately it seems that our CSS fix is going to take care of this for most people, I'll keep looking into the root cause of this though.
