  • Trouble clicking the "Post Reply" button?

    I've been noticing that sometimes the Post Reply button isn't available until I scroll the screen or click on it multiple times.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    I think it has something to do with the Pop Up ads that are now at the bottom of the screen.

    FYI: I am using a computer right now and not my cell phone

    The ads are obtrusive. They block the entire bottom section of the screen. Even though the ad looks like it's only about 1/3 of the horizontal space, it actually occupies the entire screen all the way across. Even though you can see a button, you can't click on it unless you scroll so that the button is above the ad. Kind of annoying but a relatively minor inconvenience. I'm sure we'll all get used to it.

    So far the only ad I've seen is for Motley Fool, which at least is a legit company. I'm not sure if their services are worth paying for, but at least it's not an Edward Jones ad.

      I haven't had that problem (though I mostly use the site on my cell phone). However, the large ad at the top of every page completely blocks the navigation tree (links to "Forums > Main Forum > General Discussion", so I can't click on them at all to get to a particular forum (again, on my cell phone).

      After a bit of troubleshooting, I figured out that I can see it by switching everything to landscape (sideways) mode vs. portrait (vertical/normal)... But very annoying.

        Yes the big ad at the top is even more annoying because you have to scroll past it to get anywhere.

          It looks like they fixed this. Now the banner ad at the bottom is fixed at the very bottom so it doesn't obscure the buttons.
