Ad shrinking screen

[bigb]

I think it’s a Walmart ad that keeps shrinking my screen. Using safari on my iPhone.

Thanks. Taking a look. Only this ad as far as you can tell?

Yea, but I must admit, I’m getting to the point of throwing an ad blocker back up for this site. They’re getting to be rather annoying. Especially when typing and the ad covers the cursor. Like this for example. The screen doesn’t follow the typing, so suddenly I can’t see own words.

Ugh, sorry. Let me work on it a little more.

Had it happen to me today. Very confusing when it happened.

Yeah, I was able to reproduce it. It shrinks it and then goes back right? Really weird. The ad company is working on it - sorry about that.

 

[Jason]

They’ve made some updates. I’m not confident but please let me know if you still see this issue. Sorry.

I am still having these screen shrinking ads.

I am still having these screen shrinking ads.

Thanks. Any common ad doing it?

Now there are weird ads that flash a full frame around the page on my phone and takes a couple of seconds before it goes away and lets me do anything on the page. I tried to get a screen shot. You can kind of see the white frame on this one.

Looking into it

The shrinking thing seems to have gotten better but now I'm getting 30 second video ads that seem to be tied to pictures or other videos in individual posts. Like you have to watch an ad to be able to see the picture or gif or whatever had been posted.

The video over images has been reported. The shrinking screen issue is hard to pin down so any ads with destination URLs will be helpful. Sorry.
