Yes, this is REALLY, REALLY BAD! I use Chrome. I've never had this issue until the last few days. I open an article and scroll down as I read. Then the ad at the top (usually a video) moves the screen back to the top. I can't scroll down for more than a split second before the ad pulls the page to the top again, making the page completely useless, except to watch the ad. But even if I watch the ad, it keeps pulling the page back. Similar on the bottom of pages when I'm reading the most recent comments and scroll up. The ad at the bottom keeps pulling the page to the bottom, making the page completely useless, except to view the ad.
I know that SA is supported by ad revenue. I have no problems with ads and ad supported sites. But when they make the functionality that brought me to a page in the first place completely useless due to ads, I will simply stop using SA altogether, and the ads won't even get a glance from me.
After being a 4-year daily/hourly user of SA (and former Pro subscriber and contributor), I will move to another financial site as my primary if this ad pulling 'feature' doesn't end very soon.
Or I will install an ad-blocker, which I don't feel bad about when a site gets as bad as this new feature on SA.
