Some threads 'auto scrolling'- advert?

Anyone else finding that their screen is automatically scrolling down? It's like I've turned auto scroll on but I haven't, and I can't scroll back up either. Not sure if it's an advert causing this? Happening on all boards (that I've been on anyway, food/recipes, aibu, chat etc).

A screen video is a bit beyond me I'm afraid but it's just happened on this thread:

And it happened just before the mr vegas advert, here

Morning, everyone. Thanks for all the details we've had on this so far. That's really useful.

We'd love to get more details - so URLs of the pages it's happening on and screenshots of the point you get scrolled down to would also be helpful. What would be brilliant is if someone could manage to catch this happening on a screen video so we can see exactly what's triggering it. We know that's a bit of a long shot but if it happens, and you can get it to repeat itself and capture that on a video that would be enormously helpful.

We'll keep looking at it in the meantime. Flowers

What 'app' do you use for the Internet on your phone?

KateyCuckoo · 08/11/2023 06:58

Hi all,

Please can we have your devices/browsers so we can take a look? And a link to a thread where it's happening?

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 07/11/2023 18:16

Yep, me too. Very irritating!

ComeOnThenFanny · 07/11/2023 13:45
