I have an issue when the ad next to the comment box at the bottom of the screen plays. It sometimes skips and causes the typing to lag and it doesn't register. The other issue with ads is what Kingnobody mentioned, where it forced me to view the bottom of the screen and I can't scroll up, which I only experience on PC. The other issue I have (not sure if this is ad related), is if I try to visit the website from my phone, occasionally I cant click and pinch zoom in, it just resizes to full screen. Refreshing or double tapping the screen fixes it, but yes the page is quite buggy.

Any updates? Ads are still pretty bad. I really wish I could activate Ad Blocker on this computer D:
All your ads belong to me!
Take them.

I don't want to see any more Land Rover ads. Never buying one anyway.

Let this thread serve a public service announcement on why you should not use Photobucket.

But what if the bucket has the photos? Or are the photos in the bucket..?

Photobucket only recently became like this as far as I know. I've been using it for years and never had any issues until maybe late 2016. Then it just became horrible all of a sudden with ads popping everywhere, the interface become really slow and glitchy. such a shame.

So, are we going to get any feedback from the staff?

Or will it have to be a new norm to deal with aggressive ads?

I will be more than happy to put up an Ad Blocker that also doesn't kill certain popups from certain websites, if that's the case.

Scragg's already been notified. There's nothing any of the rest of us can do.

Thanks.

I just wanted to make sure that somebody has been notified. Hadn't heard from anyone since Dame admitted his insanity.

I can't read forums anymore, every time I try the google ad services will drag the window to the bottom to display an ad for the lottery. If I wait 30 sec for it to play, I get 5 seconds to read before the video restarts and drag the window to the bottom of the page again. I understand ad revenue is important, but not when it makes the site unusable. I'm just lucky this text box is at the bottom of the page or I wouldn't even be able to type this.

iv been having this issue the last week or two as well with those damn revlon video ads. It keeps dragging me to the bottom of the page. It restarts over and over dragging me back every time. Its seriously irritating.
