OzBargain Comments Constantly Interrupted by Ads. Anyone Else?

Has anyone notice maybe the last few months when you are typing a comment and a flash ad changes it would kick you out of the message box and you would need to click or press the message box back in to continue typing?

Is a bit annoying especially on the phone where it can move to another section of the page. Is it happening to anyone else?

    Have you disabled ads under settings/account?

    @scotty will be all over this. The ads are outsourced but meant to be of particular dimensions if I recall. Get some screen grabs next time it happens.

      i don't mind the ads just don't want to interfere when I'm typing

      just wasn't sure if it was me

    Yeah. If you spotted a misbehaving ad, take a screenshot & maybe note down the link as well, and email them to me (via the contact form).

    just buy the Platinum membership, and never worry about ads again.

        Everyone says you have to snort it but the bubbles keep upsetting my sinuses.

    Ad Block plus

    ublock origin is way better than adblock plus - abp takes money from advertisers to allow certain things through

    Use an adblocker. I like Wipr for Mac and iOS, but there's so many to chose from that are free. Even Scotty uses an adblocker and if he doesn't then he's a fool.
