I believe its the ad banner doing this.

It's very pronounced on a mobile device with a poor cellular signal and using a vpn (read: slow connection).

Seems like it started in the last week or so.

Every so often (maybe every minute?) all the comments and content shift up, pause, then shift back down.

It's super annoying when trying to read, and worse when trying to tap or click on something that moves.

The site should use css styling to affix the width, height, and placement of advertising spaces so updating ads doesn't make the site wiggle around.

Same here on iPhone... it’s crap website programming for the ads. Had to adjust my pi-hole to fix it

@GoatBoy

Does arfcom not have a ci/cd pipline that a css change could be pushed out thru to fix this?

Same happening here as said above.  Also the ads cover up the quote drop-down menu directly above the ad. Sometimes you can hit the button in between the ads but it’s a real pain.

@AesopsWildBoar

This issue is arfcom specific. The site isn't predefining the size of the areas occupied by ads, so when they temporarily disappear when one ad cycles out and another cycles in, everything wiggles.

It's an easy CSS fix that shouldn't take more than a few hours to correct and deploy to production (in some shops this would take less than one hour).

But, in general, web pages wiggling around during content loading and reloading has the same bug as arfcom does - not pre-defining the area occupied by the dynamic content.

Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. I guess I’ve ignored it since I see the same problem elsewhere which also needs to be addressed separately
