This bloody drop down ad!!

Please tell me how I can get rid of this bloody advert! It just pops up at the top of my screen willy nilly, covering up whatever I’m trying to read. I scroll down, it disappears for a few seconds then BAM! Back to infuriate me again.

There’s no way for me to close it. It’s so bloody annoying.

Using safari on iPhone. Screenshot will appear eventually.

I’ve got the same and if I try to click on a thread in the tiny window that I have to view actual content, it just takes me to the advertiser instead. I’m on iPhone 14 fully updated. It’s been happening all week so I just haven’t been able to use the website. I have a screen recording of it but not sure where to add this.

I like to have my font large so that I don’t need to constantly carry glasses and this makes it worse I think. But I don’t have this issue on any other website.

Yes, same here too. I'm using Chrome on a Google Pixel. Very annoying.
