    I get it multiple times a visit. Sometimes multiple times navigating in the site and generally every time I go back to the site after being somewhere else. It is pretty unbearable. And the bottom is always there and bad. Sometimes bigger, sometimes a smaller strip. Bad time for me to stop paying for premium experience but I can’t deal.

    I’m seeing that one on the bottom using Chrome on my iPhone. Getting the full screen thing, too.

    I do not care for it.

    The ads warping the page dimensions (bottom bar and top placements) make viewing on mobile (iOS) a pain to navigate.

    Are you on mobile or Desktop? Which browser are you using? Could you try a different browser to see if that is the issue?

    Thanks, @jim1961 ... Is it possible this is some security software on your desktop or router? I haven't encountered this issue but I'm checking on it.

    This link might be helpful..

    If nothing in those instructions helps, send me a screenshot and the link you get it on and I'll send it in to a tech.

    What makes me not look in that direction is the fact that this is only happening to me here at CF and it started at the exact time the new ad stuff showed up.

    I do have ad blockers and such, but again, the problems are only here at CF for me.

    I got my error 15 times in a row today before I finally could refresh a page.

    Please, please get this fixed.

    A strange issue though. I've never had that
    I tend to agree this is the cause too.

    I’m getting a pop-up that blurs out the rest of the screen once I take an action on my initial session (Chrome iOS). It disappears if I refresh and doesn’t reappear.
