Well this is just about unuseable. At least in this forum my text is visible as i type it. I just tried to post in the forum 2002-2005 stock explorer and as i typed the cursor moved but my text was not visible. And im not gonna post something i cant proofread bc then all the responses will be “learn how to type!” Or “your grammar is garbage” rather than “refer to the PCM wiring diagram and check the transmission harness for integrity…” etc etc.

But yeah i almost couldnt even register successfully bc the ad was keeping me from selecting the “continue” button on the bottom.

But i have a transmissiin fault id like to get diagd and need help, but it looks like the admins need some help bc you need more screen real estate for the actual site with less ads.

Welcome to the forum, but I'm not sure what to tell ya on that one. Try it on a PC yet, may not look as bad there since its not as condensed. I don't get any and when I used to they never popped up that badly or anything. If ya pay for the elite then ya wont get any, but I get not wanting to do that right off the bat. I'm sure @Rick has some better insight here
 






Welcome! Yeah, I don't think this is the most phone-friendly site. HOWEVER.... that looks like a pretty good deal on those shoes, lol !! (if you don't mind the color).
 






Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I don't see ads on the site when I browse and neither do the supporting members. We changed ad networks a few months ago. I need to know these things so I can present them to the company that places the ads.

welcome! thats a great shoe deal lol! but yeah, EF did switch to a new network lately, so ad placements has been wonky lately! (every once in a wheel it breaks over into the elites too!), so its still figuring itself out right now. i will say on PC its alot better than mobile, with or without ads lol

Welcome to this forum! Which browser & operating system are you using? Older versions of Firefox have compatibility issues. Win XP won't allow new versions to be installed. How old is your system?

It's a phone. Maybe Safari browser, maybe a 19.5:9 ratio screen. Could be that the browser page zoom, or display zoom setting is set higher, reducing usable area. Reducing browser page zoom is something to try. Tapping the little blue X at the top right of the ad is something else to try.
 






Should show fine in default Safari settings.
