blog unreadable – the ads show double and make the page jump to ad
-
am on the latest beta fast stream windows 10, in Edge browser. so this problem is coming your way. am trying to contact wordpress regarding their advertisement code. it does not work correctly in new windows 10 build. makes page jump straight to the ad (different ads — amazon, pizza) … the ad shows doubled, two of the same ad next to each other. you can’t even read the blog, maybe one sentence, before it jumps to the ad again.
i will have to advise people against wordpress at this point, if not resolved. that’s dirty code, to make a page jump to the video ad and not even allow the reader to read the post!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
I disabled the ad blocking add-on I normally use in order to see the ads on your site. I’m on a desktop PC. On each post, I find two ads at the bottom of the post content, and above the sharing and like buttons. There is no jumping of the page to an ad, and I may scroll leisurely down the page as normal. The ads link to external pages, so If I click on either of the ads I’m taken to an advertisement page.
When I reduce the browser width to mimic a smaller screen, such as that of a mobile device, there is still no jumping to an ad, nor anything else out of the ordinary.
Can you tell us device(s) and browser(s) you’ve been using to the view the site?

didn’t i already mention that in my post? I’m on Windows Insider Beta 10, fast track, so it’s evaluation copy, build 16215.rs_prerelease.170603-1840. and using the built in Edge browser.
i checked just now in Windows 8.1, and same issue — AFTER internet explorer asked if i want to display non-secure content. i clicked yes, and as soon as i clicked yes, the page moved to the ad at the bottom.
so first off, Windows internet explorer is recognizing something unsecure about the ad-space. AND the ad space moves, when allowed to run its javascript — sends the page to the ad, not allowing normal viewing of the blog.
has to be the coding — either something one of your advertisers inserted, or something in the ad field. my guess would be the ad field, since it is happening with different ads from different advertisers.
and in the latest Edge browser, that bad javascript creates an infinite loop – continually scrolling to the ad every time one of the two videos begins.
you must have a javascript blocker on your browser, if you are not getting the reaction of scrolling to the adspace.
so how do i get wordpress to fix their code? i have several systems. i can check it in Linux, if you like. ? but Windows is a heavily used system with a majority of users. and my blog cannot be read in it now.

Regarding the browser, yes, you did. Sorry about that. :(
i checked just now in Windows 8.1, and same issue…
I’ll call for staff attention to the topic, as some of the details you’ve provided are out of my realm.

Ask a staff member about that after one responds here.

Hi there,
We’re not able to replicate the issue on our end on either Windows 10 or Windows 8.1.
Have you reported the issue to Microsoft yet? If it’s happening in their beta software, it’s reasonable to assume it’s a bug in their software causing it.
We cannot make changes to our software based on issues in a beta build of another company’s software that might not even make it to production.
and in the latest Edge browser, that bad javascript creates an infinite loop
Are you seeing any errors in the JavaScript console? Can you please upload a screen shot of those to your site’s media library?
