flickering page

[emmerson]

Why does our forum "jump" when I'm trying to select a thread? most annoying!!!!!!!!!!

Mine does the same at times, on a tablet thing, end up selecting the wrong item.

I think it's because of the adverts it loads at the top of the screen. :evil:

Agreed!! - And here's me thinking it was my 'equipment' - for "years"!, - at least I now know it's not just me. The times I've gone to the wrong thread as it has jumped just as you click. Annoying.

Shush ! 😉

This was an issue not long after the current format was introduced. I pointed out at the time that they could prevent this continual shifting up and down as adverts loaded by preforming the page with the space the advert takes up. I wonder if this has been lost in an upgrade?

Simply upgrade your browser and use an add blocker......as suggested by Sprocket.

I use Firefox with AB+ with no problems but make no recommendations.

I'm on Chrome with Adblock+.

Are you still having problems with that installed ?

If so do you run any anti-malware ?

This will sort out most problems or you can try this one

I run both 😉

I'm on Chrome with Adblock+.

I've just added this to my Chromebook and it has stopped the top advert and therefore the flicking, but it appears to make the page loading slower.

Edit - added it to my desktop as well, same effect, no jittering but slower loading.

Hi all.

Sorry for my tardiness in replying to this thread. Yes, as some of you have correctly pointed out, if the page takes a while to load and the page is loading an ad that's deeper than standard, the content might jump down a little. I agree, it is very frustrating and something we are aware of.

Thanks for persevering.
