    So I noticed it last night at ~2AM EST when I refreshed NU on my laptop but the entire site seemed to ... lose HTML formatting or something? It was to the point I could see things I'm not supposed to see usually on certain pages. I thought it was a temporary update thing but it's the same today, and when I thought maybe adblocker was doing something I turned it off and the site went back to normal. Attached are pictures with adblocker enabled.

    *I want to add that if I pause AdBlock on this domain, the problem remains. I have to stop using AdBlock entirely for the site to return to normal.

    I felt this might be important to know~~ Thanks for your continued awesomeness~

    **Adblocker is AdBlock. Using Safari 11.1.12. **

    seems like your adblock is blocking some of the css/elements. check your filter preferences--custom filter to see if there's any *.novelupdates in it. (both ad blocking rules and element blocking rules).

    if ublock origin is available for safari, try it and disabled adblock in the meantime. personally, i find ublock origin's better than adblock plus most of the time.

    anyway, i believe this not NU's side of bug/problem.
