I am having the same problem as the OP on my smartphone and share his sentiments about spending time on the site. I haven't the foggiest idea how to send a screen shot so I would hope that a fix could still be found.

Do the screenshot (varies from phone to phone), save it, start a post and then choose the file to upload.

This is at the bottom of the page when you select reply.

A screenshot of the adverts that are blocking content would help the tech guy relocate them if possible.

The small one on the right is the real villain. It's a Google ad. When editing or typing a post it blocks a lot of the screen so you can't see your input. If you enlarge the screen, it reveals an X top left hand, but if you click it, it takes you to a system error message about not being able to locate whatever. The tiny X top right hand is Google's attempt at user choice but the X is unclickable. If you're lucky and extremely dextrous, you'll get Google's stupid menu with a list of why you don't want this rubbish on your screen. And we bang on about Thai programmers. This takes the biscuit.

Same same, very annoying pop-up that stays on top and can't close going to another page with an error.

This is incredibly awful. It's basically UNUSABLE. 

Windows 10.

Edge browser.

Please fix.

I get no ads whatsoever using Edge or Brave on Win 10.

Bottom line - your browser your choice; take responsibility for your own environment.

Let's not talk about this until the cows come home. Maybe the "tech doctor" is the problem. And when you try to delete this it just opens it.

Just install a browser which will solve this problem.

 

Firefox and then install specific addons

Bromite browser (basically chrome browser with enhanced privacy)

Kiwi browser

Brave browser

Firefox focus

 

Those browsers are known to alleviate the symptoms of popups and ads and will greatly enhance your browsing experience.

And when you click on a photo to check it out, it stays lol. Completely unworkable IMO. It’s a disservice to the people paying for the ads I think.
