I log on to look at new posts, get on the first one then can't see the next until I refresh....then everything scrolls down to the bottom of the page???Very annoying....I really am not logging on here much because of this.

No problems here. Using Firefox on WIN7.
What browser and OS are you using?

Firefox and USUALLY everything is fine. I've recently had trouble logging in. Sometimes it takes a few attempts. I've been dealing with this by keeping one tab on with OTT.

The server is pretty loaded up right now and does slow somethings down, but I pretty sure on this it's a you issue.
I run mutiple platforms and systems just to keep an eye on things and I've got no issues.

Try cleaning out your cache and possibly run some other clean up / update methods on your computer / tablet / phone / internet browser.

A sure-fire fix is to get rid of that JD... OTT AI giving you the message to get a proper orange mower :)

That's what I'm using. Perhaps my Malware bytes browser guard is causing this problem.
I'm not using that, but I suspect you are right anyway. All that extra sort of stuff (VPNs, antivirus, adblockers) seems to bring a reliablity or performance hit, spectrum of negligible to large.

I have the same issues as the OP. Using brave browser on an I phone. Its been like this for at least 3 months. It doesnt do this with any other sites or forums I visit, so pretty sure its not on my end.

Possibly Google AdSense loading you up with data-heavy ads and causing some requests to time out. If some of the code gets messed up or cookies get messed up it can cause headaches. Of the sites I've had problems with, OTT is not one because it is light on data usage other than ads, so for me OTT typically works great.

Im using Brave browser, not safari or google. If Using google thats exactly what happens, so many ads the website becomes unreadable. And that brings up another question. When using safari Lots of websites dont load up like that with ads. But some do, and OTT is one of the worst. Seems to me thats got to be due to how much ad revenue any certain website contracts for with google. Hardly ad-lite!

Try the DuckDuckGo browser, and turn on tracking protection. It will tell you a lot about who's tracking you and what apps are allowing the tracking.

DDG on Chrome with Adblock plus (bit defender too) works like a charm.

But all of these work so much better when you decide to become a paid member of OTT. Maybe y'all should give that a shot. Trust me, it works.

And that's only one of the many benefits... but modesty prevents me detailing them, and my wife would object.
