Site stuff

Adverts in mobile site

Have the adverts in the mobile site changed to being along the top and 'floating' as you scroll down the page? I thought they were changed to being distributed through the page, every 6 or so threads. I find it really annoying to have them at the top of the screen constantly.

Hi EGBDF,

They haven't deliberately been changed, no.

We have flagged this problem to our Tech team and they're on the case. Can we just ask, are you using an iPhone by any chance?

I have the advert back at the top of the page too. It's really annoying, I had no problem with them between posts as they disappeared as you scrolled up. The one at the top just stays there and reduces what I can see and the flashing ones make my eyes go funny.

I'm on Samsung S4 mini (so small screen size anyway). It's android and I'm using g Google.

Happening here too. On a blackberry so only have a narrow window to look at text through! Makes me quesy cause I'm constantly scrolling. Site overall perfomring poorly tonight though. Slow to load, part of screen filled with blue squares, menues taking ages to pop up etc.

Please fix. Driving me batty and have to go now as I can't stick it :(

Rats. So it's not just the iPhone then ...

Thanks for all the details. We'll hopefully have this sorted before too long.

In the meantime, we know it's a pain and we're really sorry. Flowers

Glad it's a mistake it's extremely distracting.

Hi Dawn, yes, I'm on an iPhone 5, using safari. It is still doing it, but that's good to know it isn't a deliberate change.

Thanks for the Flowers in the meantime though!

I'm so relieved it's not an experiment! Don't mind waiting for it to be fixed but I was terrified it was here to stay.

It's making the mobile site unusable for me again - getting a headache with all the flashing.

Me too Line. I wish they would stop messing with it. The ads were fine through the thread. It's very distracting.

ophio I wonder what has happened to make it regress so, if it's not deliberate (as DawnMN says upthread).
