Extreme frustration attempting to post on this site.

I'm about to give up on this board even though I have been here for years. I cannot go more than a few letters before the cursor just goes away and I have to manually reset it. Nine times that happened on those first two sentences. Three more since then. It doesn't on any other site.

What device are you using and which board?

I am experiencing this too lately. It's done that before, but now it is constant! Something is taking focus away from the text box. It happened five times just typing this! I am on PC using Chrome - all boards.

Same thing happening to me now, literally on this page.

Same for me!
It's unbelievably aggravating

It's every section of Disboards. (seven to here) Google Chrome. Another six times to here.

Yeah, it's a really bad problem!

EDIT: It's so bad this morning that sometimes when I can't type, and click back into the text box, it moves away again before I can even get my hand from the mouse back to the keyboard.

Yup, hopefully Dis can do something about that. Maybe the already have since I typed this whole thing with no drop. Time will tell.

I’m looking to see what’s causing it. I can’t duplicate it.

Is the whole text box moving?

What it does is move the focus of your cursor to some mystery location. So, you are typing and suddenly no letters are popping up because you are clicked outside of the box. Sometimes when I click back in, it immediately goes away again - I think there is some cycle to the ad that pulls the focus every so often, and possible multiple ads on the page do it at different times.

Interestingly it is not happening at all as I type this, but I also notice zero ads in this instance, but I was just sending a PM and it did it constantly. I saw Zenni ads on the page that time, but it's not always those.

I was getting this also trying to post during Marathon Weekend. It was really bad in Safari. It wasn't as bad in Chrome. I am thinking it is the ads. I can't even post using my ipad and Safari anymore. The ads just lock up the page.

Constantly happens to me whether I'm on my PC using Chrome or on my Ipad using Safari.

Just a note that this has not abated. It seems to happen more or less frequently depending, but it's still annoying. I notice that it is not happening here and I am seeing no ads, but I was just posting on Community Board and it was constant!

Good call on that. There are no ads in this board. But any other one with ads just causes issues.

 

[WebmasterCorey]

I’ve been doing process of elimination by removing ads for registered users because it can’t duplicate the issue, so I’m working blindly trying to find the culprit.

I have found it happens when I video ad reloads the video

Today has been very very bad for the site crashing. Happens continuously on iPhone.

I will say that this issue has gotten better for me. It still happens ocassionally, but the constant jumping out of the text box has not been happening.

This was constantly happening to me on Monday. I gave up and haven't tried since.
