I keep getting a Mayo Clinic ad about every two clicks that takes up the entire screen on my iPhone, and there’s no way to click out of it. It just freezes. Makes the site unusable at this point on my phone.

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!!


This. Mobile has become a game of don’t pick up your thumb. If you do something is going to open. The page shifts multiple times and now I’m getting full screen ads to click out of. It’s making the site a lot less enjoyable.

I've installed Pie on Chrome & the desktop site is fine - not sure why that video on the right sidebar still follows me around... but, yeah, on phone browser, site is unusable

When a website uses scam advertising I have no problem turning on Ad block. It has become crazy this past month. Unusable on mobile.
Yep I'm the same way.
"Oh we need ads to keep the site going" that's great and I respect that and am more then willing to support the free site by having those ads be shown to me as long as they aren't scam ads.

Still appearing this morning...basically whenever I scroll down the latest post. Damn near makes this website unusable.

Will come back later when someone with common sense fixes this.
