Without more information, there’s nothing we can do to address this issue. There literally thousands of possible ads running here and we can’t investigate or filter out an ad without knowing more about it. Thanks.

The ads appear at the bottom every time I'm on here. And they sometimes cause the page to freeze or interrupt me while I'm typing. It will hide what I'm writing unless I scroll far enough up first. They are there, trust us. I don't get how you don't see them.

I also get "This page is unresponsive" and I can either wait or exit. Today I've exited a few times completely and had to go back in again. I checked "Remember me" at log in so I don't have to log in again.

Closing them will cause more of them to pop up so I don't interact with them.

If you click on the Ad Choices which sometimes (not always) appears in the top right, it says something about the Ad is based on the area you’re in, time of day and the website you’re on. Hmm…. Doesn’t really explain.

The cross to close the ad isn’t always there in my experience.

For info I’m using an iPhone to access the site.

I don't see Ad Choices, and I don't always see the X either. Still I don't interact. Just more stuff for someone to spy on. It's just like how I never answer unknown numbers or texts, because that alerts the spammer that your number is "live" or a human will answer. Then you even get more calls or texts.

No, it doesn't explain but this is true for any site. I'm using (temporarily) a Chromebook from the library and sometimes use my iPhone. As for ads, Tapatalk is much worse. Some of them have irritating or annoying loud sounds with the ads, startling me. Or it plays some kind of tune.
