Well in the past it just popped up. Now it's popping up & covering the log in section. Also, the thread you linked to is over a year old. I've just encountered the pop-up in the last few weeks.

I get the same on my iPad- it makes everything behind the panel inaccessible

I'll see what we can do- -- thank you for the screen shots!

If anyone still sees obscured pages from bad mobile ads from this point on, please let me know.

That fixed it, the ads are back in a 'normal' ad space and not blocking anything for me. Many thanks as always!

I had to stop browsing on MacBook because it became ultra slow and then Korean voice started again. Hard to browse at work.

My cursor is frozen when I was trying to post something.

I know this is beyond FT's control but just got asked if I was looking at hentai by a passing coworker. The Ashley Madison ad is mildly NSFW.

Advertisements make browsers freeze
 

Hi,

I'm not sure but I think I might not be the only one with this issue...

You have some advertisements on FlyerTalk which go by video (usually on the bottom of a page), using the flash player. I have now had several occasions where these videos 'captured' my RAM and froze my browser. The remedy is to kill the flash player before it kills the browser. Flash memory usage may rapidly grow to over 3 gigabyte after opening a thread on FT.

Tried with Chrome and Firefox, tried on 2 different machines and the result is the same. Something tells me there might either be a bug or the advertising company is doing a bad job. Don't have the problem on any other website I tend to visit.

Is this a known issue? Anyone knows a remedy?

Can you take a screen shot of the entire page so we can see the ads? If it is the SPG Amex ad, there is already a thread about this.

Me again! Getting a pop up every now and then (usual iphone 4s uk based, could be my cookies so i'll report back) like so:

Seems to be this ad:

Reported for removal, thank you.

This is another noisy ad.

In Japan, on Chrome.

Here we have a little catch, as I had to kill flash in order to scroll the page. For what I heard, it's a Norwegian advertisement for some chewing gum (horrible stuff, now also horrible online) or some American advertisement for something that will improve my life (not sure what, I didn't catch the brand and just listened to the advertisement, as the browser window froze).

Anyway, here's the screenshot of my flash player going wild. It's from about 10 seconds after the advertisement opened. FYI: it was less than 10 MB just seconds earlier. :)

Addition: also just had one about many people having genetic deviants.

Experience teaches it's mostly those annoying adverts that come with a movie and a lot of noise.

Can you take a screen shot of the entire page

I'm also giving up on Flyertalk, because these videos have taken over the computer, it slows it down, makes it almost impossible to use Flyertalk in peace....
