Ads that won't scroll

    Firefox on android, Samsung galaxy S2, touch site.

    Sometimes when I'm swiping the screen to scroll through a thread I find that when my finger is on an ad there's no response and I can't scroll.
    This happens with both the smaller banner ads and the large square ones. Because the large ads take up most of the screen it can be difficult to move past them. I need to use some of the small amount of screen around the ad to swipe and get the content moving.

    The most recent time I noticed it was the anotherfriend.ie ad on this thread

    I don't know if anyone else has this problem. I hope you can recreate it

    This problem is occurring with all of the plain text ads on a grey background.
    It's bad enough to have to look at the ads without having them disabling my phone too.

    Please look into this and rectify it.

    Can't replicate here on Android / FF, or any other browser / OS combination for that matter.

    Could you take a screen of one of the ads causing the above if possible please, thanks.

    Also is there anything you can think of specific to your device / browser that could perhaps help us track down the cause? (particular settings enabled, etc, anything at all)

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
