Default Sidebar not displaying correctly

The right side sidebar is not showing my preferred links to other forums, it also has text displaying like somebody who is coding/programming the pages as we view them, lots of stuff in {} other stuff.

Examples

1. $corvetteforum_sidebar (this is what shows up where my preselected forums should appear)

2. This is what is showing under the sponsored ads.
Sponsored Ads
{$vbulletin->IB_Ad_Code[aux3]}
{$vbulletin->IB_Ad_Code[aux3]}
Vendor Directory
{$vbulletin->IB_Ad_Code[aux2]} {$vbulletin->IB_Ad_Code[aux3]} {$vbulletin->IB_Ad_Code[aux6]}

This after shutting down Firefox V 47.0 and restarting.
Hope someone can fix this, IB are you listening?

I'm getting the same thing in Google Chrome.

I cleared my cache, site cookies, logged out, shut down chrome, reopened chrome and still see the same on the sidebar.

This is an issue on CorvetteForum's end. So no need to clear browser cache (atleast not at this time - perhaps may be needed after the issue is found and fixed), no need to try another browser, no need to report if you're seeing the same issue (it is broken for everyone), etc.

We will investigate.

Thanks.

Whew! I just today upgraded to Windows 10 and fired up Firefox and saw what is described above. I thought Windows 10 was busted.

Broken on some pages and works on others.
On the main page when I log in it has the correct choices in the side bar. But is I do a reply to a thread, like this one for example the side bar is still broken...



UPDATE:


Well now its broken everywhere again.......................

I agree, still not right. While the extraneous lettering is gone, the "favorites" option still does not appear. Favorites it what I am calling that area where you could choose what forums you frequented often and have them appear there instead of having to go to the forums tab and mouse down to the forum you wanted to go to.

Come on folks, why is IB fixing what wasn't broken?

In the ten minutes since I posted this, IB has fixed the "favorites" not showing. So I guess IB IS listening. And thanks to them!!

The list of supporting vendors is still truncated and they pay the bills, no?

Yes they do and yes the list is still truncated, though I must admit I had not paid attention to that detail. Currently only 13 vendor ads show up and I'm pretty sure there are a lot more than that.
