Phone troubles on MC?

I love this site, it’s all I do ‘online’ but goddam, the pop up ads have become an annoying distraction!

Some ads pop up and shrink the screen and sometimes the page willl drop me mid-post and I have to start over.

Anyone else having trouble with this?

I have an iPhone. When I use MC I hold it sideways (landscape) when typing. I sometimes get pop ups at the bottom of the screen, but a quick click on the ‘X’ shuts them down.

I have had no problems submitting posts; I use Google Chrome.

Yes and the Mods were noticed of it a few weeks back

Ads are intrusive and the screen reloads while typing often where you have to start all over again.

No other sites I visit do this.

I have to say the site really does work better on the old lappy.
Someone ought to debug this joint, call an exterminator, but I won't hold my breath.

Maybe if he knows how these current ads are negatively effecting some users, they could try something else.

HO! HO! HO! 🤣

I had the problem a few months ago and was able to easily solve it.

How did you solve it?

Using duckduckgo or opera seems to work ok so that's my workaround for the time being.

[–] Keelai (35395) a year ago

Installing a pop-up stopper which other posters had suggested.

Android user here. I switch between Firefox or Brave and have never seen an ad.
