Your post was about audio ads. It was moved to the proper thread

I was having this same problem the past few days. Ads constantly loading and reloading caused the website to run so slow that I couldn't scroll or respond to posts.
Thanks IB, you're the reason I just downloaded an adblocker. Website works great now! (And seriously, don't shame me into disabling my adblocker when your ads are the reason FT becomes unusable :td:) |
I would like to turn off my AB, but only when these problems are fixed. I used FT for YEARS without an AB. I only started using one because the site itself was unusable.

Hi all,
We have reported the (possibly ad-related) slowness up the command chain. |

Great tip. Between Disable Infinite Scroll and installing adblocker, the site is working great.

What they don't mention is the value of the content that hundreds of people willingly contribute to this website. It's a two way relationship.

It is a two-way street, I don't mind undoing the AB, but Tech Support needs to fix the issue first.

Thank you so much, The FlyerTalk Team I have less trouble with ads and slow down on shady foreign sports streaming websites than I do on FT.

At least, from what I have seen anyway, they seem to have stopped deleting posts which talk about what for many is the only solution to FlyerTalk's various performance and integrity issues.
FT is one of the sites where the content is of great enough importance and quality for me to justify turning my ad blocking software off to throw a little money back, but as it stands now I wouldn't come anywhere near FT without an ad blocker and I simply stopped accessing the site via mobile at all. |
