Agree it’s got a lot slower. I had a BT add popping up after a minute or so preventing me from viewing the site yesterday on both my iPad and iPhone.

Totally agree I rarely visit the site now because the pop ups making the screen jump up & down I end up losing my place & patience!
It never used to be like this is there anything that can be done to them?

If you install an add blocker it resolves it not just for this site but all, my browsing experience is much better now.

You can get them from the App Store on both iOS and Android, for phones and tablets, and they are free.

Have to agree, a site has to make money but it is getting proper annoying now.

I have a similar issue.

Too many adds and pop ups.

Also a prize winning page for something that only comes up when om this site.

Annoying enough to not bother coming on unless a matchday

Wondered what was going on thought it was my phone, screen jumping when am reading stuff and has meant have come on here a lot less. Just about given up tonight then seen this. Not enjoyable when it keeps jumping. Something not right. Hope they can get it resolved.

I don't get any trouble compared to other places, specially WOL
The only thing is that it's best to let it settle down for a minute whilst the adds load or you'll end up clicking on the wrong thing cause it moved !
You need the adds to support the site - I've said this before , and they're not too intrusive to be fair.

I must be one of the lucky ones as I'm not getting any of this.

I'm on an android phone, Sony experia thing that cost me about 80 quid in Argos lol, nothing flash about it at all. Maybe it's the devices rather than the site?

A few times this week I’ve opened the web page and noticed Unsecure Web Page at the top in the web address, only get that if the security cert is out of date, if it is then that explains all the jumping from ads and all the ‘competitions’ from Sky, BT and Virgin Media

Are we upgrading to the more secure phpBB 3.2.5?

The mobile site said i had put in the wrong password twice when i tried to log in, but the standard Prosilver version of the site lets me log in.

With all the active members maybe it could be worth considering removing the adverts and charging a small fee for membership, or using banner ads that load faster, flash ad's a pain in the bum. no idea how many people click the ads though,

Nothing is as slow as Waesonline :lol: . I must be lucky with my laptop browser settings as I seem to be immune to annoying pop ups.

No problem with my laptop. I use Google Chrome and I think I must have an add blocker enabled as I don't get pop ups or ads on here. There are one or two sited (newspapers I think) that tell me I must disable my add blocker to continue. I just move onto the next one.

It's not working properly for me, click on one post, it goes to another one. People saying if you download this and that it should work ok-sod that, the site should work like it always has, it also has way too many pop-ups. Ta Ta, see you down the City, but sadly not on here anymore, I didn't post that much anyway, so won't be missed. :bluebird:

Bit harsh, at least give them a few more than 24 weekend hours to fix it ;)
