Ads interupting solving.

then you should try the game without internet it migh help you.

This happens for me as well, MacOS, Safari.
In my case, I'm not concerned about the time, but I would be happy to record the screen if it helps.

I say I'm not concerned about the time because I am solidly and seemingly forever "Average" - can't seem to get off this plateau!

I was able to find an option to stop showing that ad- there was an ellipsis in the upper right, I believe. First time I clicked the option "ad is blocking content"... but when I tried to restart, the ad came up again, so instead I selected "I've seen this ad multiple times." It didn't obstruct the game after that (though I did notice the ad playing in the side panel when I got to the scores/results page, so it can apparently play without being a complete screen-stealing nuisance). Just wanted to share that piece of advice in case it comes back.

I'm having trouble with that too. I wouldn't mind as much if it went back to the puzzle after, just a mild annoyance at that point for losing a few seconds to an ad. But I've been trying to do the same puzzle for 5 minutes now. I've closed the tab and opened a new one, I've tried started starting a new puzzle and still got the kriffing ad. It's driving me nuts.

Update: Of course after posting this it finally went away. At least I can solve puzzles now.

I tried to restart game 139595707 three times- I was repeatedly interrupted with a Pandora ad that took me away from the puzzle about 10 seconds after the page loaded.

I'll check that out. Thanks.

But I've made some code changes that hopefully should keep the clues/answers box always on the top layer of the page regardless of other content.

Hopefully not too many changes to the code! haha. Just kidding.

Your reply reminded me of when I was writing my script to highlight rows and columns (also to more deeply learn javascript/CSS and working with AI). I was just writing it as a personal project to run in firefox dev tools (in the console). Jese what a ride that was. Trying to follow all the code in the DOM tree. After doing that for a few days, I just accessed all the cell divs directly and did my script from scratch in my own way.

It would be hilarious if after doing that, a change broke my script. But if you need a code assistant, I know someone who has some experience with the site's scripting and CSS haha.

Can you get a screen recording program and just record you doing puzzles until it happens, and then send a screengrab off the recording for the techs?

[pcuser]

It's started doing it again. A screengrab won't show the problem as it happens randomly and it happens way to fast to get a screengrab.

[pcuser]

So far this morning it seeme to be working. I'll let you know if it happens again.

[admin]

Still unable to replicate it, even in Chrome. But I've made some code changes that hopefully should keep the clues/answers box always on the top layer of the page regardless of other content. Let me know if there is any improvement. If not, I'm afraid I really need a screenshot to understand what exactly might be causing this.

[pcuser]

An ad covering the solution button got me and sent me to another page for that ad. I had to navigate back to the page to solve it.

[pcuser]

Chrome. And AARP is another.

[admin]

Unfortunately I've been unable to replicate this issue. What browser are you using?

[pcuser]

LG Range is another.
