Yeah, the full page background ads are intermittent, and are largely there when a company wants to push a big launch. They're frequently there for movie and game launches. It's possible there's not something there today. However, it was the only real Terms of Use note that I got from sannse, who was able to demonstrate the effect instantly for me. it's no biggie, and in fact solving this problem instantly fixes some other issues we're having with those tags in MyWikia and Wikiamobile.

That said, I will of course miss them, because I put a heck of a lot of work into those little buggers and I thought they were damned elegant on the desktop version of the site.
