    I’m getting the “You are a safari winner” please claim your $1000 Amazon gift card. Struggling to view any pages.

    Now completely unusable on iPhone without diverting to that spam winners page.

    Unless you stop the page loading half way through.

    Can't use iphone for this because it loads that page Paul is showing ^^^^^^^within 5 seconds & have to close down.

    Laptop working (obviously), but slow loading pages & page moving up & down.

    I’ve mentioned this happens to me mainly in the mornings, I’m convinced it barely happens in the evening

    Just got one myself on mobile. I’ve forwarded all the screenshots on and hopefully it helps them identify what ad is causing it. Quite a few sites are suffering this at the moment, so it’s not just us. We haven’t had redirects in almost a year, so hopefully once it’s solved we won’t see them again for a while.

    Keeps coming & going, when it’s there it’s impossible to use the site.
    The laptop does still seem longer loading pages as well.

    I usually need to wait 10/15 secs when I refresh page as before when I refreshed and clicked on a post it would auto scroll and send me to a different topic. As of today that's not happened, all good this side

    That's my issue. End up on the wrong thread all the time.

    Conversations are a nightmare as well. How about charging more for a gold membership ? Or adding a platinum one or something that costs more ?

    I wouldn't mind paying say £2 a month or something to view the site without ads. Or just less of them.

    What’s this jumping or scrolling you’re referring to?

    Think it's due to the varying sizes of these adverts at the top of the forum. Some are small and others, like that, are making it jumo while loading.

    It seems better now, before when you refreshed the page , due to ads , when you clicked a topic the page would move so you would click on a different topic , you had to wait 10 secs roughly so the ads would settle then click the thread

    The Adblock request has killed my access to the forum on my PC.

    have followed the instructions but can’t get rid of the pop up window. as the pop up persists, the site behind it is unusable.

    I have even uninstalled Adblock and rebooted, still get the window popping up and can’t get past it.

    Have cleared cache on the site, my chrome browser and it also doesn't work with Internet explorer and edge.

    Don't know what to try really.
