Ads

[moutonfou]

Two ad issues which continue to impact my enjoyment of the site:

1. When a page initially loads, it loads without ads. When the ads then load a few seconds later, everything on the page moves. So you go to click into a text box, for example, but everything moves and instead you click 'Last 15 minutes', get taken to a new page, have to go back, problem repeats itself. This happens to me on a mobile device and laptop.
   
   
2. On my laptop (Chrome) there is an animated ad slot to the right of the page (underneath the trending discussions box) which refreshes every so often to show a different ad. The refreshing is completely slowing down the site, to the extent where when I type, there is a 5 second lag before any of the letters appear on the screen.
   
   I believe in supporting companies that are supported by ad revenue, and so haven't ever installed an ad blocker, but if this continues I will have to install one for my sanity and to actually be able to use the site.

Thanks very much for the feedback OP - it's much appreciated. We're sorry that these issues are affecting your enjoyment of the site.

Is this something that others are also experiencing?

We've alerted the Ads team to your thread so that they're aware.

I experience them and have reported them several times, over quite a long period. I was told nothing could be done, though of course that might have changed now as I've not reported recently.

I'm using an iPad and mobile site.
