A couple of mysterious packages arrived very early this morning. I can't wait to check them out when I get home from work

Sorry for the delay in getting this posted. I want to echo the sentiments of Lany & Lady O up above. The best kind of gift to me is one that represents what you love about where you're from. Regional gifts are awesome. With that said, here's my questionnaire: Are you over 18? Yes. Are you willing to ship internationally? Yes. Favorite Type of Food (i.e. Italian, Mexican, McDonald's, Burger King, etc): Indian, Jamaican, Chinese Favorite Candy (things that won't melt or go bad in mail) : Not much of a candy person aside from chocolate which, of course, melts. Favorite Scent (i.e. Fruity, Vanilla, Flowery, etc): Um...fresh & clean? Favorite Hobby (i.e. Scrap booking, Photography, things you collect, etc): Board games & video games, trying new craft beers. Favorite books or types (romance, true store, mystery or just one you would like): Fantasy & Sci-Fi. Historical fiction is also very cool. Favorite animal: Dragonflies, otters, birds. Favorite movies or types (romance, comedy or just a DVD/VHS you would like): I like pretty much all kinds of movies. Most partial to dramas I suppose. Favorite Color : Green Favorite Music Artist/Type or a CD you would like: Coheed & Cambria is my favorite band, but my taste in music is pretty wide. I don't really like metal or country but other than that. Do you collect anything? Nope, not really. Is there anything (not expensive) you want or need? One can always use more socks. Anything else you would like your SS to know about you: I'm gonna love anything you decide to send me so don't even worry about it Also I'm allergic to mango just in case that crops up for any reason.

Hooray! Thank you for organizing Helena I'll post my questionnaire soon.

Piece of human garbage Steven Anderson (the piece of literal trash who said that there were '50 less pedophiles in the world' after the Pulse shooting) was planning to go to Jamaica to seep his vile trash juice at the UWI campus in Kingston. A petition was started a while back to get the government to disallow it, and today he was officially banned from entering the country at all. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/29/jamaica-bans-anti-gay-arizona-pastor-from-visiting-country Small steps forward I guess. Still have those awful laws on the books though :\

I uninstalled my adblocker, cleared all cookies and such and am still seeing the popup. Something is definitely off. ETA: Tried loading the site on two other browsers, Firefox and IE (neither of which have any ad block software installed). Got the same pop-up on Firefox but nothing on Internet Explorer. It's a weird day when IE is the browser without problems.

As of this morning I keep getting this pop-up thing from the bottom of the page asking me to whitelist the site in my ad-blocking tool. I already have the site whitelisted but it keeps popping up every time I load a different board or thread and I have to manually close it every time. Extremely annoying.

Copied the URL that I was redirected to the last time it happened (it's becoming more frequent now). In spoiler tags to avoid accidental clicks. Open at your own risk and all that: ETA: clicking the link doesn't go to the same page that shows when the redirect happens so I don't know how useful this is.

I am also getting redirected to what looks like a Facebook page with the "you have won some bullshit prize" popup. I'm on the Chrome browser on an Android phone so it's not just a Safari issue apparently.

Everything seems to be working for me again, although I think some posts were lost. Thanks Ran

Also, I tried a different browser (Firefox instead of Chrome) and I'm having the same issue over there.

This seems to be the only thread that's updating correctly for me weirdly enough.

Was having a similar issue, now it seems the threads themselves have stopped updating for me. Screencaps below. If I'm on the main page (asoiaf.westeros.org) I can see what the actual most recent posts are: http://i.imgur.com/l3K691T.png Once I go into a forum however, the board shows that the most recent post in that exercise and fitness thread is from 13 hours ago, even though Ace has posted in it more recently: http://imgur.com/9PrA5CP Interestingly, since Yag has created a brand new thread, that one has updated correctly on the forum. The rest have not. Opening the Fitness thread, it shows the most recent post as Iskaral's from 13 hours ago. The notification thing says there are 5+ new posts, but I cannot see them. http://i.imgur.com/yOSsIC5.png

Can't say that it was. Would have been cool though :P

Hey everybody, My name is Jay, I'm from Kingston, Jamaica and like a lot of the new people here I started reading GoT after the first couple episodes of the HBO series aired and I quickly became addicted. I finished ADWD last week and now I'm bummed that I'll have to wait another 5 or 6 years for book 6. Let's hope it doesn't take that long :P ASOIAF has quickly replaced The Hitchhiker's Guide as my favorite series of novels, which I never though possible, but I don't think I've ever enjoyed a series of books this much. There seems to be an overwhelming amount of content on these boards regarding reader's theories about what's to come, but I'm looking forward to reading through what I can. Also looking forward to starting my second read through of the novels after I finish Abercrombie's 'First Law' trilogy. Well technically my first 'read' through, I listened to the audiobooks first time through to keep me sane at work :P
