You can thank the ads...

As far as I can tell the reply about AdSense hit it right on the nose. Hopefully it gets cleared up soon.

I got the same one as johndeerefarmer only with my carrier data...the last few days have been bad on all platforms for many websites using this particular ad service. I hate to use ad blockers as they hit sites revenue that I like to go to, but this is why they exist.

Curious, is this happening to anyone with an iPhone or iPad?

I ask only because I haven't run into any of these problems with my iPhone.

Yes I use iPhone on the FTE mobile site and I get a spam popup often. (The one I see is just something about winning an Apple something.) can't go back, so I just kill the web site and start fresh.

I also share the complaints of Sam I Am - the mobile site is frustrating due to the scrolling issue. The page will be completely loaded and then just jump to another point in the scroll.

Also it seems awfully slow- isn't that the point of a mobile web site?-> to reduce the details/design so these tiny pocket computers can load them faster.

Ads are back.




Scrolling issue is happening to me too. Though it was me but now the page goes up at random times.
