This site is nearly unusable on Android

One problem I do have- sometimes when I quote people, all kinds of random letters appear. Words start mixing together. When I try to delete them, it just makes things worse.

I have that problem when typing sometimes.  It seems to have gotten better (though still bad) lately though.  

aye just auto correct dies a death on this site for some reason, I think it's part way to do with the ads wanting to reshuffle every 30 seconds or so to get more of them on screen but really at times the text entry here is impossible and I've considered just hitting submit from mobile on a message which reads like I'm after getting struck in the head and having a stroke as I write it. I'm fairly sure the majority of users on here who never encounter the issue wouldn't get what the message was relating to though and just reply with a RIP post for me.

I see the same thing with the comments on articles, first comment looks fine and then on the follow up comments about 75% of the message is off screen to the left, regardless of using mobile version or desktop version that happens now on there, with both skins of the site as well.

One thing that really sucks for me is here in Ireland now we seem to get one or two video adverts which have no way to stop or close them, if they pop up you have no option but to let it play away eating my data up, if you click anywhere on the video it links you off to the site they're coming from and aye... I have an okay but not unlimited data plan so I don't want to be watching videos when it comes to reading a site for video game news, if I want to splash out on data for news I'll watch Jim "F'ing" Sterling Son on youtube. Not read something here and burn data on ad videos.

Again... I know that those adverts aren't directly picked by anyone on this site, but the adspace is sold to companies that use it how it's used, it's fine to say "we'll we didn't put them there" but the site has had advert complaining threads every month or so and the same excuse of "well the guys we sell the adspace to are to blame not us" just doesn't really hold up when you consider that some of the people making those threads just leave the site and don't come back, if I'm traveling I just close the site if the video adverts appear because I can't stay on here while the site is in data hungry mode, the people you sell the adspace to are costing the site traffic would be an easier way to phrase what I'm trying to say than simply saying "the ads you guys run suck" .... simply put the people that utilize the adspace on here do not seem to care about how those adverts impact the usability of the site as such continuing to make use of their adverts in the positions on the site they currently are makes the site less friendly and usable.
