I use Google Chrome to check out the forum on my android phone (Galaxy S21 Ultra).

Unfortunately, it seems that the new pop-up ad bar at the bottom of the screen is causing multiple problems.

First, there is a significant lag time in the initial load time of the Vietnam forum.

Then, there is a consistent and considerable lag time when following any link to other pages in the forum.

In addition, any attempt to reply to a post causes the pop-up ad bar to intrude over the interface.

Finally, the quote function isn't working properly when these new pop-ups appear on EVERY SINGLE PAGE VIEWED in the forum.

I use Firefox on a PC, coupled with ABP (adblock plus). I see zero pop-ups, and no ad bar(s) on any of the pages.

That said, the lag time between new screen openings, replies to comments, quote functions etc is agonizingly slow these past 2 or 3 days.

I thought it was only here. Thanks for confirmation I'm not suffering in solitude.

Hey, I had the same issue with Chrome on my Galaxy S21 Ultra. Clearing the browser cache seemed to help a bit. I also tried using Firefox, and it felt smoother for browsing forums. Make sure Chrome is updated too. And if you haven鈥檛 already, giving an ad-blocker a shot might make a difference.
