Hey, I love this site. I probably spend an unhealthy amount of time reading it. But 98% of that time is on PC. Today however, while I was waiting for my train I tried to visit the site and 2 issues happened.

1. The ads. They were outrageous, dominating almost half the screen and floating over the screen. I felt like you guys didn't want me to read your article.

2. This might be because of the ads, but lag. I have a rather new phone, a Samsung Galaxy S8 and I checked several other sites to make sure it wasn't my phone or my connection. BBC, PokemonGoHub and Jisho were all fine, no issue whatsoever. But when I tried leaving a comment here on NintendoLife, there was nearly a 4 second delay while trying to type. I just gave up.

I don't know how normal this is or not because like I said, I almost always use PC, but it certainly seems like it shouldn't be normal.

I actually mostly use my phone to visit this site, and I don't have any of the issues that you do. Typing is responsive, and the ads don't 'follow' your screen like some do, so you can scroll past them. What I would say though is that you can't access the gallery on mobile and it takes quite a while to scroll down to get to the forums and videos sections.

Just your everday ninja, who may also be an ace trainer.

@Heavyarms55 we have certain ads that will be fixed in the background as you scroll over them, this is a format called fishbowl ads and could be what you are referring too.

As for slowness, I've not noticed any issues like that myself - perhaps you had a bad ad on that page or there were a lot of comments? Some articles have 200, 300 comments and might slow it down?

If you can send us screenshots of any offending ads that seems to issues we can look into it further.

Thanks!

@antdickens Alright. If I run into it again I will screen shot it.
