It just took me 30 minutes to post this complaint. Flyertalk continuously and repeatedly crashes Safari. I am so out of here until you fix it. Absolutely unusable.

Only shortly. Looks terrible on a 12" iPad and a total waste of that large expensive display. I think it's certain ad's that cause the crash. I think FT should be more discerning on the type of ad's allowed. Did you think of charging a small amount for users to avoid ad's completely? I understand you need to finance the site but the way it is at present is unbearable.

Ninja Advertising
Your giant, double-width banner ads expand out of nowhere and steal my clicks, taking me to places I don't want to go.
I've had no choice but to install ****** for your site. Please let me know when this practice stops, so I can revert this back.

Are these on the forums or front page? Could you provide us a screenshot example of one of these ads?

Many times, right as I go to click the forum link, the space above it expands to host the giant add, pushing everything down below.
On several occasions, this shift has resulted in my inadvertantly clicking the ad banner that sudden pops up.

This is what I see right before ad expansion:
