What's up with these annoying "new" auto play ads? Maybe they've been there for years but it was only very recently (like 2-3 days ago) that they began pulling my screen back down to them in an extremely annoying tug of war while I'm scrolling through the site, trying to post a comment, or whatever. I've never had this happen before.

I have been experiencing this problem frequently as well. It has been nigh impossible to scroll on a page.

Apologies for this, not sure why that would start happening as no changes have been made to the ads for quite a while. If you could let me know if this happens again and I'll investigate and remove the ad from the site (if you have a destination URL it would also help to work out where the ad is coming from as the inventory comes from a couple of different sources and I can get it removed from their rotation)

Thank you, if it happens today I'll get back to you, including which ad(s).

Hi, thanks for reporting and sorry about the problem. I've just reported this to the ad provider in question so that they can investigate, and I've also switched most of the ad inventory to the other party to reduce the possibility of this happening again.

Well, it started again, hopefully not for long. Here's the culprit: https://www.petfinder.com/

Not sure where to get the url, but there's a Foster Farms ad that's doing the same thing today.
