This site needs to reduce interactive ads/scripts on mobile. It slows the site down and makes it unusable. In both IPhone X and Pixel6, typing on text box is really annoying. Whenever I am typing a reply, it has a huge delay because the ads are consuming too much resources.

We've made a number of updates to resolve this issue. Hopefully it has been better over the past two weeks.

Do resetting webpage advertisements erase what you had been typing in the browser?

Do new post submissions in the thread you are reading erase what you had been typing in the browser.

I prefer typing with the browser on posts but may move to typing in my ipad notes app and copy and pasting into the reply box because I am tired of the resetting advertisements erasing what I was typing.

Most websites I use do not involve me typing into forms.

My banking, brokerage, Airline and car rental websites do involve me typing into forms but those websites are not glitchy and do not delete what I was writing or throw popups over what I was trying to read.

I do not tolerate any other website as broken and glitch as RealGM is. Real GM was functional and stable from 2005 to 2015 or longer.

If RealGM gts any more glitchy I will quit using RealGM. I might go back to Linux and that might solve my RealGM problem. My Ipad browser only has problems with RealGM and a few other webpages.

Ads between thread topics now?

My computer runs hot whenever the site is up right now with this change.

Ads within the thread in between posts is horrendous and makes the board borderline unusable. Please don't punish those of us that don't use Adblocks; it's a deliberate choice we are making to make sure this community remains viable. I don't know how much more of this I can take.

I'll take it. The previous way of running ADs was borderline hacking

Probably my last post.

Get **** with these ads. The bills cannot be this high. This site is UNUSABLE at this point. The pop ups are **** INSANE. Embarrassing for such a high traffic site to act like this.

The ads between posts have got to go.

Constant page redirects to scammy pages followed by porn. What is going on

MrSparkle · Post #412 » by **MrSparkle** » Sat Sep 7, 2024 7:38 pm

Come on guys. This site is becoming unusable. The ads look like I'm loading up malware.

RealGM is now the sports stream site where you have to x out 50 ads. I’m gonna test drive inside hoops.

The ads are horrific.

It is extremely detrimental to the experience.

Came here about this, too. The ads are making this site unusable. I haven't posted in weeks until now unless I'm using Tapatalk because it's just ridiculous to use this site.

I'm on a Mac with very good security software and last few days anytime I'm on RGM for more than a few seconds it takes me to a completely different scam page where I'm supposed to give them my personal info to enter a sweepstakes. I'm seriously having to write my RGM comments elsewhere and then copy and paste them on RGM because I can't use the site for more than like 3 seconds. On the plus side I guess I'm on hiatus from moderating right now lol.

The redirects have been all over the internet for at least a week now and have unfortunately finally hit us. I've received them every time I've been to ESPN during that time frame. Our ad partner is working to eliminate it immediately.

I'll circle back to you all on the other feedback as well.

I don't know if it is the same for everyone but occasionally NSFW ads appear for me. I don't know if you control content per-se but if possible please remove those... if not I will just adapt. Thank you.

Anyone getting a Siri virus notification pop up on your iPhone everytime you go to the site? It is a scam btw so don’t click on anything. I don’t. Sometimes I have to refresh like 3 times for it to go away
