Once in a great while, I get HUGE avatar replacements that show the DAKKA be back soon image. But for the last few days since that started the ads dont show ads, it just shows text that says DAKKADAKKA be back soon.

Any ideas?

So no one is having or had a similar problem?

I am not, no. I hope nothing is going wrong with the site.......

I get that sometimes. It's a small glitch, and usually occurs when the site has gone down for repairs or when it is about to go down for repair.

I had that happen about a week ago. I just assumed there was server maintenance and did other stuff. Worked fine the next day.

If the site is taken down for maintenance while you are loading a page, all images get replaced with that image. Clearing your cache will fix it immediately, or you can wait a certain amount of time (different for every set up) and it will clear on its own.

Ahhh cool many thanks, was starting to worry me a bit
