Advert bug?

[Phelan's Pace]

I use iPhone 6 and 4th generation iPad. On any other forum or website both behave fine. On here the iPad barely works. Typing is lagged by a good half second per letter and every time I refresh it takes 5-10 seconds to stop jumping about with the ads. More often than not I accidentally bring an ad up after clicking it in error when actually trying to click a thread link.

My phone becomes very hot when on here due to the same issue with the lagging, though not as slow as my iPad. I've noticed if I quote a post the issue becomes more extreme. The phone is new and doesn't struggle on other sites.

Whilst I appreciate the ads are needed, they seem to be the cause of these specific problems. It's as though they're strategically placed to load right as you click on a forum or thread link.

I've made a couple of changes to try and stop the ads jumping around so much, let us know if it's improved at all for you.

The iPad/iPhone issue is a bit trickier. I have the same devices myself, and haven't noticed the lagging issues you've mentioned. Let me look into it a bit more.

The changes have made a difference on desktop at least, it's calmed down a lot.

Sorry for bugging you guys (pardon the pun). I am having awful problems accessing Bluemoon on my android 4 phone. Every time I open it I get an ad saying I have won a news Samsung 7 phone. The next screen shows grateful Nigerians holding their new phones. I can't back out of this annoying ad, and I can't close it, and it pops up every time I open up the site. It pops up at least 3 times in a row. The ad only appears on Bluemoon.

Is there any way I can get rid of this?
