I've never seen them running before. Has this ever happened before?

my highest grossing adsense site is a free service and is packed full of free info. it all depends on your niche/target market.
PSAs still appearing over here in the UK .
Has eased off by now, 14:51 GMT, but i'm getting PSAs still on certain pages - probably 30 per cent frequency.
A few hours ago it was 100 per cent PSA across ALL of my sites.
Is it easing off now?
Writing G about this gets the normal automated type of canned reply and accomplishes nothing. In one case a real reply came that they were looking into it but nothing happened and the PSA is still there after waiting 3 weeks. In the meantime new PSA's appear every day on more and more sites. Very disturbing trend. Anyone know what can be done or what causes this?

Google is working really hard, two BL updates, a directory update... Let's wait and see :D
my old style urls still work if you find them in google, but there's a slight mismatch with the url cached by google and my new adjusted url.
old style url (i catch these and they still work):
page_name.htm/affiliate_id=****x&other_var=1234
new url:
page_name.htm/affiliate_id=xxxx&id_number=xxx&other_var=1234
guess i gotta wait for the googlebot to do its thing.
Google, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER.
Yesterday we had some technical difficulties with our ad servers, which was the reason for the public service ads many of you saw on your pages. However, the problem's been resolved and your ads should be back to normal.
As usual, if you're still experiencing problems with your ads, shoot an email to the AdSense team. They're standing by, ready to be of assistance. :)

Down time is not acceptable whatsoever. No excuses will ever be appropiate for having a large company about to go public have "technical" problems that inconvience thousands of people.
No email from adsense, no nothing, just the usual great communication from adsense.................which is nothing.
It would have been very easy to fire off an email or put up a little message, but adsense insists on just keeping quiet and not really concerning themselves with the thousnads of publishers that are SOL because Google cannot get its act together.......AGAIN.
Totaly disgusting.
Every time I have a good adsense day, something goes wrong the next day. After an awful Sunday, Monday was the best all summer...so it was inevitable that today would make up for it... Oh well.
Ha ha, sorry to hear that. It is too bad that Google cannot do a better job avoiding things like this.
BTW, if Google is still taking votes, they could get rid of the PSAs altogether.
It very well looks that way. No need to have a breakdown, take a deep breath!
You may not want to talk about those CTR numbers, google does not like that (maybe they do, who knows what they like and dislike these days)
You do have a healthy CTR though, on average i am quite a few % points below that. Good work!
My advice is get rid of the PSA's. I fail to understand why G uses them so often in the first place, especially when you replace once good targeted ads with PSA's even without computer issues?
I also wonder why on so many sites G once had real good ads but suddenly without reason (no changes to the site) the good targeted ads are gone only to be replaced by nonsensical ones (not meaning using PSA's but non-relevant ads pertaining to a different product or service) having no relationship to the site content. Please explain. Thanks.
