I don't know the terminology maybe, but I would have a pop-up slide from the bottom and take up maybe half the screen. Some of them were a bit suggestive, maybe like dating girls in your area or "you won't believe this girl... something something" or one's around impotency. You could click on a top right corner 'X' to close it butvwhen you did it wouldn't just close the pop up but seemed to refresh the whole page. It seemed to be on the same page but that made me sceptical, so I would hit the 'back' button on my phone to go back to the pre-refreshed page, and then you would be at some redirect to nude girls and what not.

Hope that helps. I was on a brand new Samsung Android phone with no adblocks etc or anything of thst nature.

No, I will respond here if I see it, no problem.

The ads have gotten overwhelming! While using chrome on my phone to create a post, I'll have a pop up every 30 seconds or so. It will block the window to the point where, sometimes I can't see the submit button, and other times, so that I can't see anything but my keyboard. It's become really intrusive.

Is anytime else getting half page ads they can't X out of while use the webpage on their phone? It's incredibly intrusive!

Yes. Realgm on my iphone is less than optimal.

This shouldn't be occurring. I couldn't recreate the issue. If you continue to experience, can you share a screenshot along with your device and browser type so we can have it investigated?

It seems to have stopped, thankfully. No idea what that was, but it really made things unusable.

The CLS (cumulative layout shift) on that banner ad below the nav is just insane.
