Advertisements making pages jump

[dangerdave]

When I am trying to enter comment text, the ads on the sidebar keep popping open and playing videos and jumping the screen completely away from the comment box. Am I the only one having this issue?

Thank you for all your hard work on this great board!!

Sometimes when I'm using my phone I have problems zooming in. It will jump to another website without me pushing anything? But no videos here...crazy that would be just as annoying.

The animation in ads on MOST of these free websites is maxing out the memory capacity of many of the older (two or more year old) devices, especially the hand-helds.... What I deliberately do is try to AVOID doing business with the worst offenders!!!! Though the "ad-builder" on THIS particular website is "smart" and posts ads to products and companies that they know that you shop with!

X2 - Also an app called Flashcontrol will eliminate the autoplay flash stuff.

Ohhh I'm sorry, I thought the people running this site actually chose to have these ads and could do something about it. I didn't realize the ads just sort of came with the territory
