AdSense acting strangely

Problem with Google AdSense

[seaboy]

We've been running Adsense for about 3 weeks with no problems, in fact it's been great, but this morning the 2 most popular sections of the site are acting strangely - one is just showing the charity ads, the other shows just 1 ad in the skyscraper, rather than 4.
Every other page of the site seems fine, and we didn't change anything on these 2 sections - any ideas about what could be going on?

I've found that sometimes when the ads show up slowly, I also get charity ads. I suspect that they have some sort of timeout that gives up searching under high load and shows the psa's.

I'm not sure about your situation, though. Is it repeatable still?

[seaboy]

Yes, it's repeatable, but I don't think it's a 'slow loading' issue - the ads load fine, and on every other page, except these 2 most popular sections, they are showing correctly. I'm really confused by this.

There's been some discussion of this phenomenon in the AdSense forum:
