Awful again today. Is anyone else still having problems, or maybe found a solution ?
Judging by this thread, it must only affect a minority of users. But for me it's practically unusable at present. It's not just the page continually jumping to the top, posting this has been really hard work.
Come on DS, at least give us some indication that you are aware of the problem.
Yes, still happening for me.
I'm vey disappointed that, after several requests for a response, nothing has happened. Maybe if I mention the McCann's someone will notice?

Well that will probably get me a ban but perhaps they'll actually take some bloody notice >:(.
Me too, I'm past caring as it's not worth bothering here anyway as it is.
Forum 'Support' you offer NO support whatsoever.
I've alerted you three times, filled in a form you asked for about this, have posted many times about how it's still happening - and there's been sod-all from anyone in response.
For me, it's particularly the Viewster advert that's causing it.

I've not had the problem here but after trying to find some lighting earlier (prompted by another thread) I spent some quality time swearing at various retailer websites as they did exactly this while loading all those 'friendface this page' panels and 200 third-party single-pixel stats scripts that made me change my mind and go to the shop down the road.
Happening too intermittently on my laptop but being as this forum is a browser-killer anyway it's just another of the annoyances caused by the ads and all the other clag.
They tell us not to use ad blockers and perish the thought... but some say that things improve when they are used. Paradoxically, one of their main advertisers, one of those that that causes the problem in fact (though I have only tested on Firefox), offers the very means to do just that, at the click of a button!
There is little doubt that the main problem is caused by certain poorly designed flash videos using flash player and FF 'plugin container' hogging computer/tablet/whatever resources - that's what DS need to stop or they will ultimately lose more revenue long-term through customer or page view loss than they gain in ad revenue. Their choice, I guess.
New problem today.
On my iPad mini (ios 8.1.2) using the default browser, I always log out of DS forums....when I return later on, if I browse a topic I was on earlier and press Add reply, it automatically lets me type in - the log in screen is being bypassed.
Glad I read this as I have had this page flickering on my iPhone 5s (iOS 8.2) for a few days now. Was close to buying a new phone as I couldn't get why nothing worked to stop it.
Using an iPad and ironically just as I was about to post on this thread, the page flickered and my iPad froze completely for 5 minutes. I couldn't get back to the home screen, lock it or turn it off. Worrying.
I've been having the same problem for ages now. It hasn't improved.
I only ever had the problem on my iPad, it appears to have corrected itself now, at least for the past few days.
I've probably jinxed it now, and it will revert to jumping to the top of the page again.
It drove me nuts, if I couldn't be bothered to go on the iMac, I'd go off DS, and switch to other sites.
The flickering's happened for me again this morning. It's only happening for me with Internet Explorer. The page also sometimes goes blank when I try and move down the page using the side bar.
Mine has been doing this ever since DS changed their layout from the old beloved blue. I find if I pinch zoom out and in again it sometimes fixes things but it's one of those annoyances I've just learned to put up with.

I'm still have problems too:(
I thought of asking DS via Twitter, seeing as no-one from Forum 'Support' here cares, but it seems to be only about showbiz drivel on there.

I think also if you press a bit of empty screen and keep your finger on it works too.

YouTube's absolutely fine for me when using Internet Explorer. It's only these forums that the flickering and blank pages happen for me.
Now I have logged in, it has got faster.
Ipad.
