Something that has been bugging me! [technical problems usIng FT website on iPad]
Does anyone else having this problem on the FT website only, I’m using an iPad and when I go to click on a link the page jumps and I end up selecting the wrong thread, it doesn’t happen anywhere else?

That is I think because of all the hundred ads loading?

Also I get the cookies selector thing that freezes etc.

Happens with Android too. Clearing all active windows then reloading FT seems to do the trick.

Yep same experience for me on both the above on an iPhone and iPad - this site is barely useable on iOS devices using Safari.

Happens on android and to a certain extent on desktop too, due to the ads having different sizes and loading later. Maybe one for the admin board rather than the BAEC one.

The ads really make the site atrocious on mobile. The stupid videos that pop out and follow wherever you scroll...

the ads are obnoxiously horrible. I really would prefer to pay $10 a year to have an ad/tracker/bug free experience.

I started a thread a year ago for the same problem
Am I the only one to be super annoyed with pages jumping during ads loading ?

Same problem also. As page content loads page bounces up and down. When I think it has fully loaded and touch to select a page or thread will often get page movement that results in selection error usually resulting in some ad opening up.

Don't know if anyone else has thread page numbers in larger threads being masked by the ads on the right margin covering from top to bottom of the page.

It sounds like an ad is loading after the others and causing the "jump"

For sure, but the question is what can you do to improve your member's experience

We're unable to replicate on a variety of networks, so it is most likely device/connection speed.
