Photo Battle Thingy

Just curious about this Photo Battle ad thingy that's on the forum main page. It's actually making surfing the site on my cell phone a PITA. Is it temporary? Can it be made less intrusive?

Ya mine too. Every time I go to to the forums main page I gotta wait for that stupid photo battle thing to load. Very annoying and could do without it.

I was about to start a thread on this as well. I was giving it time btu I'm finding it more and more annoying.

Sometimes it will just pop up with a bunch of pictures and take forever for it to load and for me to scroll.

I say hide it or do away with it.

I dont have any problems on my iPad. Strange. I just find it annoying that you can vote for your own photo on it.

I don't have any problems with it, it doesn't slow me down too much. Just use the mobile site of it bothers you that much, or alternatively, browse the site using the "new posts" button. Just try to skip around the forum list page as much as you can

Your still gonna catch it no matter where you move it, my suggestion would be to remove the banner and just leave the button, but that's up to ib to decide

Ib has said many times that they do not want to use tapatalk as they don't want any of their posting being done from a 3rd party app. That's their official position on it, they don't use it on any of their sites

Pretty dumb, IMO, but if that's their stance that's their stance. But they need to make a mobile version that doesn't suck ass then.
