ads interfering when typing?

419 Views 17 Replies 10 Participants Last post by  elkhornca
When ever I'm typing (browser on my phone) every time the ad changes under the text box it missed a letter I type or a few letters. It's a real pain in the ass to have to go back every 10 seconds when typing. Anyone else having this issue?

It only happens for me when the ad changes. The only problem it gives me on my phone is when it changes while I'm trying to tap a link to see the thread. Otherwise, it really doesn't bother me.

Can I get a screenshot of what you are seeing and device/software info?

YES! THIS! and where is the grid coming from? And how do you get rid of it?
That is an expected ad for normal users; you can help support the community by subscribing to a Premium Plus Membership to see fewer ads.

I don't think anyone is complaining about a Cabela's ad.
They're complaining about being unable to complete a post because it keeps getting refreshed while they're trying to type.

The solution is a better programmer who can improve the performance of your website so that more people will use it (and see the ads).
The solution is not forcing everybody to buy a membership, which will just mean fewer users. Fewer users mean less free content and less income from ads.

You get content for free. You don't pay the moderators. Hosting isn't that expensive. Why drive away potential viewers with obnoxious and often non-targeted ads?

Here's a hint: I am not in the market for a solar-powered flying car - but I see that ad every time I read a thread on this forum.

It's really getting annoying, has been going on for several days (can't say when it irst started happening with me). It's taking three or four attempts to type in three lines of text. It's quickly getting to the point of not being worth the effort.
use Brave browser. no ads. Of course, help support the community and subscribe, but if not, use Brave browser.

I get rid of it by hitting done after typing a few words. It clears it out then I can finish typing while seeing the letters. I agree, it’s ver frustrating trying to post when you can’t see the words your writing.

I use Firefox (browser Brave is based on) and AdBlock so I don't see ads but the Reply pane still resets and clears several times while trying to post.

If it comes down to paying for a forum or dealing with this annoying issue il be spending less and Less time here. Theres plenty of other forums.

I'm glad I'm not the only one having this annoying Issue.

Exactly..thank you.

Firefox by itself never has blocked ads but with AdBlock and Ghostery I don't get any ads, they keep them from even taking up bandwidth. Even on youtube.
