Just scrolling through this morning, I've noted a huge increase in the number and size of the "Click Bait" pictures between the Original Post and the Comments section in a number of forums. Is this something unique to my home equipment, or is this the new normal here on DU?
Needless to say, I find it extremely annoying and time consuming to navigate down to the first comments. Is this something that can be disabled or hacked around?
I'm a big supporter of DU but this could be a real show stopper for me.

(584 posts)I noticed 166 ads when I opened this thread... and they kept on coming. Then I noticed I was not logged in.
Now it's back to "normal."

The hack was caused by a DU advertiser who went rogue-- and Skinner is on the case.

(1,850 posts)I noticed that this morning too. Have to scroll down too far, and it is a deal breaker. Firefox updated, and no problem. Alternatively use the reader view available option on safari, but itll take some getting used to the new look.
