Advert not loading so thread gets stuck

I use the mobile site on my phone (flip4)
In the last week or so an advert wont load , so all i get is a white screen with the word advertisement at the top and then i cant scroll down to the the next post. Think this is on either Chrome or Samsung search

Happens to me on all threads. I've "switched to desktop site" and it's fixed it.

It's many many threads over the last few weeks!

It's usually a few posts down. I guess it must be the first in-post in-thread ad. It's just blank space from where it should be onwards, no more post to read either. Often it even then stops scrolling entirely which is why I leave the website.

Hi again @bruffin - can you let us know roughly how far down the page you were when the ad froze the screen? We're trying to work out which ad unit this one has come from.

Thanks, bruffin - we're taking a closer look now.

The last thread it happened on was the "is this Bullying" thread

Hi @bruffin

Thanks for letting us know about this - it sounds really frustrating.

Obviously you can't tell us anything about the advert as it's just a blank space, but if you (or anyone else here) can let us know which thread it's happening on we'll do our best to track down this ad and get it sorted.

I've been having the same, at least once a day. Also on android. It's very annoying.

TookTheBook · 25/08/2023 06:39

Yes this happen to me daily. Android phone. Chrome browser. I just close the site and presumably many users just leave
