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