Annoying ads on mobile taking up approximately 1/5th of screen.

    Wrecking my head! Ye’d be half way through a long post and the ad pushes that post up the screen!

    It always hide the bloody post comment button too! 🤯

    Yeah this is really bad. If this is permanent then it makes the site unusable.

    This has happened before and lasted a few days before going away. Hopefully it’s the same in this case. Very annoying.

    Thankfully it doesn't look too bad with an ad-blocker on Android, still it's an annoying grey box on the bottom of the screen.

    What is really annoying is that it is a moving ad.

    Jesus, the ads on the bottom of the screen are an abomination too.

    Totally not worth browsing with that distraction.

    I'm only seeing this today for the first time. As if this new forum wasn't bad enough, they've gone and made it even worse. Also, there's no ads. Just a banner with 'Advertisement' on it. I'm nearly done with this place now. It's almost unusable.
