My "favorites" are the Citi AAdvantage card ads that block the text of the first couple of posts of a thread, making it impossible to quote or even read those posts and respond to them. It's almost laughable.

fwoomp, I reported the issue to tech. Thanks for the images!

fwoomp, which OS/device are you using?

iOS 9.1 (although I had the same problem with 8.x and 7.x--I upgraded a device from each of these in the last month)

iPhone 5 and iPad 2

I am now getting exactly the same problem.

IE 10. Windows 7 on a laptop from the UK.

Of all the sites I visit, this one has an awful number of ads, it makes reading the site a nightmare
But then I think it's owned by internet brands right? they have a habit of buying sites out and plastering them with ads.

United mileage plus credit card ads are covering half of the posts. They cover the quote box so I can't quote a post. There is no way to X it out either. I understand ads but do they have to be so intrusive and obnoxious?

IB blocking FT pages from loading
 
This is more for the Admin: In the past day or so, the pages at FT are failing to load past the top banner, plus a button for IB Internet Brands Travel. Takes 2-3 refreshes to load the page so there seems to be an issue, it's not my internet connection. Is anyone else having this? I have a screen grab if only I could work out how to attach a jpg to this.

Can you post a screen shot? I have not seen this.

Also, what device and browser are you using?

Funny you should say that and I was just about to send a PM to the Moderators (but hopefully they will pick up on this and report it)

(I think the FT IT person is Irubi so this thread will get the ball rolling)

In the last few days I have also had the same thing and on different browsers, clearing cookies blah blah.

Never happened before, ever, and I really don't know much about IT and initially thought it was my laptop.

Cheers

Pete

There's a thread in the Technical Issues forum discussing this, iBobi is checking it out.

PAL62V Oct 29, 2015 2:19 pm

And have just noticed on other banner ads too, although IB seems to be the worst offender.
