^ That could also be your iPad doing something in the background, or a hiccup in your internet service.
Possibly, but only happens here on AK, it seems directly caused by the ads needing to load on the page, each and every time I move off the page I am on.
I have not changed any settings whatsoever, and I've chased my tail on here before, thinking it was on my end,
For you, that sounds like an issue. I was commenting on Delta77's post about his reaction to a slight pause in service, they're ready to abandon the site. Don't be so quick to blame one thing, there are plenty of links in the chain that could cause a service interruption.

Within the last day or two, Firefox has been stopping pop ups. I think it is related to Healist Advanced Naturals banner ad. When FF issues popup warning, forum software locks up until Healist banner ad appears. This is the first time this has happened in all the years so I think it is a rogue advertiser.

, jblnutStill no A/K ads appear on my third party thwarting aggressively strict privacy tweaked "Sludge" (EDGE) browser, on this laptop just faint rectangle boxes with the word "advertisement" in the center..

I was going to subscribe again to get rid of the discover ads. Glad i checked here first.
Hi everyone,
You're absolutely right, the 'Discover Ad' (as well as any other Ads in this placement) should not have been displaying in this oversize format. We've since investigated the issue and it is now no longer causing a problem. Many thanks for flagging this to us and please don't hesitate to reach out if you come across any similar instances, if so we will jump in right away to fix the issue!

Well so much for that Discover Card pop up ad issue being "resolved"!
Posting this because of the very last post that the moderator posted, recommending that if there were any more problems with that Discover Card ad popping up, to address the issue here.
Well that **** is still popping up!.....It just started happening again!.....WTF!!!

Not sure if this is an AK problem or not. But it seems I have to turn off my JavaScript setting on my old IPAD to use AK, because it takes so long for the ads to load on each page and it's pretty much impossible to have a Private Message with other members when the JavaScript setting is on. Anyone have a guess as to why this is happening?
I believe it has something to do with the ads actually trying to load on the page and everything sort of freezes up if I try to scroll through a page before the ads are fully loaded. It seems to take a good while for the ads to actually load, sometimes 30 seconds or more. With JavaScript turned off I can use AK at lightning speed.

I thought I was alone until RTR posted about it. This Discover ad only appears on my Android phone, at first if I was not signed into AK, but now it doesn't matter. It is getting more and more frequent. Only appears on New Posts or Recent Posts, and at this point pretty much makes them unusable. Comes in whether I am on home WiFi or not. Only on AK using Google Chrome; does not appear using Samsung generic browser. Malwarebytes does not seem to flush it. PLEASE fix this thing! I have sent multiple feedback notices to Google Ads.
Guess what, I ain't ever applying for a Discover card!
After reading other posts, you should know, I get a full screen flashing orange border, with about 1/3 bottom of screen with the Discover ad (only). I can partially minimize the lower screen and border goes away. If it lets me "x" out the lower ad it goes away but comes back shortly after.

Hi Te-Te,
We've taken a look into this and it doesn't appear to be an AK issue. Unfortunately this is typically the case with older tablets and devices, they are just unable to render the page as quickly as their modern counterparts. Turning JavaScript is a solution but I understand that this isn't ideal as this also impacts the experience.
Overall, the best course of action where possible would be to use a modern desktop or mobile device.
