Not for me on my Samsung phone using Chrome. So frustrating. :mad:
I don't have these problems with any other sites.

I hate these intermittent or variable faults.

FT rendering OK on my Android LG smartphone and Chrome.

iPad Air 2 w/ up to date OS and Safari and Chrome, very few issues - on infrequent occasion, I have to reload a forum front page because it shows in a skeletonized version of FT when I'm using Safari.

Can you post a screen shot of what you're seeing and/or describe the issue?

It appears to be something from FT that is causing one of the IE11 tabs to hang on my Win10 machine according to Task Manager:

Something (maybe an ad, maybe not) seems to be getting in a tangle if tabs are left open for a long time. CPU goes high, IE hangs. Took quite a bit of tinkering to kill the process :(.

The past few days I have had trouble getting anything other than the FT header and some page ads to load. Stalls at:
pagead2.googlesyndication.com

Firefox on Windows 7 netbook.

Thanks.

I can't post a screenshot of this because I can't actually *find* the advert... but there's a really annoying autoplaying audio advert for Vanguard ETFs. Using Chrome on FreeBSD; in Canada.

Painfully slow and causing my CPU use to spike. It seems to be the 'Health - Food Myths: eating late' which is showing up several times on each page. OSX, Firefox. Not sure how to post a screenshot!

EDIT: I was able to turn off flash and the problems ended. Not a long term solution, but my new laptop just shipped (by Pony Express given the delivery time) so hopefully that will help in the future. NO other websites cause me these issues except FT, but I'm not that adventurous :).

Here we go again. Unusable with my iPad gain today because of repeated reloads followed by crashes.

Guess what is back - sodding game of war redirect ad. Seriously, please, sue these numpties! Appearing when trying to visit the BA board or reply to pms. Uk, iphone 4s. Same ad as before so i'll leave off the screen shot.

Ditto!!

It's making FT almost unusable.

And when I try to get rid I end up in the App Store to try and load skybet.

Not interested in either

This is getting very annoying, can't even close it.

"This is Robert..." Ford ad.

I thought that I had shut Flash down, but it's still killing me on FT only!

Yes I'm getting these on UK iPhone 6. My work admins say I have a trojan on my iPhone which they can pick up over the monitoring of the internal Wifi - but the only place I am having any issues with my iPhone are on FT.

I'll rebuild the phone as a new phone from iTunes and see how I get on

UKtravelbear Nov 25, 2015 1:05 pm

It stopped for a while but now it's back.

It really doesn't want me to get the app. Not sure what they think they are achieving other than hacking a lot of people off
