On this one page alone, on my phone, I see 19 ads. It’s making this site impossible to read.

Same for me. Yesterday it was 20 and 22 per page AndOn this one page alone, on my phone, I see 19 ads. It’s making this site impossible to read.
This "flashing and jumping" makes my eyes hurtSame for me. Yesterday it was 20 and 22 per page And
most were flashing and jumping. I couldn’t read the page.
I have a home-based business, and need Javascript in order to print shipping labels at home.try and disable javascript. Still not the best but better.
It really is. If I tap on Notifications or Forums, New Posts, an ad pops up immediately and I didn’t even tap on an ad. It’s annoying.On this one page alone, on my phone, I see 19 ads. It’s making this site impossible to read.
Still having this problem. I’ve 50 pages of watched threads. Over half of them say no threads to display when I click on them. It seems to be the pages from 20 onwards.View attachment 348006
This is the message I get when trying to view pages 40-47 of my watched threads.
I noticed that this morning.I posted previously that when I have to x out an ad, the thread jumps forward a page or two. While this still happens, I also have found that many (most? all?) threads I go to skip many posts or pages, as though the software that used to track where I last read a thread now maybe tracks when I last read any thread, and pulls me to that point in time on all threads?
It certainly makes visiting this site less than appealing. Something needs to change fast!View attachment 352518
This is abominable.
Same happened to me. I had to press enter about 10 times to.make the text box bigger, so I coukd see what I type. Inrarely post anymore, but wanted to participate because webleuths is partnering in a citizen sleuth podcast and I wanted to support it. But man, it was very hard to type a detailed, well thought out response when I couldn't even see what I wrote.. and there was no x or close..Once I start entering text in the reply box, I only have a line or two visible to see what I am typing, because it is obscured by an ad, which keeps changing. (See my screen cap). It is making it more challenging to write a post, to the point if I am not really eager to join in the discussion, I would just leave it.
I wonder who else would want to fight this typing battle if not already a WS regular? Any stats for new members posting after the update?
The other thing is, with all the animated ads the page is draining my phone battery fast. I can't spend too much time on WS now.
I hope this new strategy will be reviewed soon. There ought to be a balance between revenue, and usability of the site.
Thanks. VM.
