Ads suck on every site mobile, as far as I have seen.

I have yet to find a decent ad blocker that works ok, and come close to working as well as they do on computer.

That being said I rarely come to this site on mobile because of the adds, and I never see a single ad on it on computer, thanks to ad blockers.

I hate all the sites that fill the screen with so many ads you can barely read/use the site. A lot of sites seem to have this issue, especially sports/news type sites.

To me it’s turned CF into a game. Basically it’s now a challenge to see how fast I can click on the thread I want before whole page shifts, goes full screen ad, or refreshes. Or can I type a reply before the page refreshes (this one did it once).

I’ve read lots of things I wasn’t intending due to the last second page shift and clicking on wrong thing. So that’s expanded my horizons some!!

Been YEARS since ads have bothered me. Figure it out.
Edit- I’m not paying for anything.

The Mayo Clinic ad that takes up the whole screen when I try to write a post and won’t close when you try to click on the X in the corner must be designed to create mental health patients.

It's the deceptive ads with multiple X's to close the window. Or an X so small I need my child's finger to press it.

Posting on Chrome without adblock is sooooo ******* annoying. Each ad reload removes my cursor from the quick reply text box. It just cuts off as you're typing. It just happened 4 times writing this small post.

I am getting a Mayo Clinic ad that is taking up my entire screen every time I open a new page. Please help.

On iPhone, chrome.

This. Right. Here.

But, this whole post too.

I know they have to make a buck, but if the whole point of your website is READING, da **** do all these websites make it so hard?!

Using the mobile forums on my phone the last couple months, I keep getting college football videos that block my navigation up top when wanting to navigate via the forum links.

This is the first time I have ever had issues with ads on this site, and I've been here since it launched in 2006.

It is so annoying!! Please make it stop!!
