Anybody else finding the site very difficult to use.

Constant adds popping up before the thread opens.
Also when clicking on links half the time they won't open and have to log out before it will open.

Its starting to get to the stage where it's virtually unusable.

Ye same here, ben like it for last week and a bit :((

Any tips appreciated
 
Yes I did comment on it last week but no reply, advert now every time you click on a thread.
 
Yeap constant ads and very slow response time when clicking on the threads.
 
I use "AdGuard" and "uBlock Origin" on Firefox. Never any ads and the site loads immediately.
 
Sorry I missed any messages on this last week - always best on things like this to contact me via DM if no response or direct on email (phil@planetswans.co.uk)

I'll raise this no problems - ads should largely disappear when logged in but just noticed now there does seem to have been an increase on what I would expect - will raise this as suspect someone has tweaked something on the settings from the agency.

Please do ensure you are logged into the forum though as the agency have been asked to create a very different experience for the logged in user.

Now almost unusable on iOS Safari, both for iPhone and iPad.

Works reasonably well on Chrome app.

No issues whatsoever when logged in.
 
I normally browse on Safari on my iPhone and even though I’m logged in I have an ad that drops down from the top on every page and also a full page ad that loads with every click on a thread.
