When the video ads pop up, I'm having issues where they make the cursor disappear (as if I've hit tab, but I'm not), and it's making typing posts/responses horrendous.
I'm a pretty quick typer, and it's happened about 15 times typing this post. I looked before closing one, and they're AdChoices ads.

I've been having all kinds of weird issues. In the middle of typing a post the screen just scrolls to the bottom and quits typing. And today my computer keeps asking me if I want to allow this website to download an app to my computer.

Yep. Unless I'm on my phone replying to posts is pretty much impossible.

Oh, on my phone I have the same issues as @Truth Bombs:
It automatically scrolls to the ad. very annoying

I have to click the X to close the video ads (that never load) in order to type a reply. Once I close the videos, the site works like it should.

YES! I've been going crazy with this issue and didn't know what was causing it!

I've been having the same problem. If you click on the X in the corner of the ad, it stops messing with the cursor.

I had this issue all last week. Its annoying and I didn't come back on hellobee for a while. I'm sad its still happening.

I'm getting cut off while typing responses as well (when an ad tries and fails to load). Probably a sign I should go find our flashlights/batteries for the impending blizzard instead of being on HelloBee, haha...but still. Annoying!

Yes. You typed this problem more articulated than I did when I complained a week ago.

Same. I had no idea what was causing it. Have to use phone or cant type normally.

I have that same issue is I'm accessing HB from my desktop. But never had that issue on my phone yet.

True confession: It doesn't happen to me at home as badly, but it happens at work constantly--I can't type a thing. I thought the IT dept was monitoring my unproductive work days and shutting down my favorite sites with some new ad blocker disruption program or something. haha.

We've been trying to debug it but for whatever reason, I've never had it happen to me on the computer or the phone!
I'm pretty sure it's a specific ad or two that is causing this, and that if we take it out of the rotation then the problem will resolve. Does anyone know which video ad is playing when this happens?

@mrbee: That ad never actually loads so I doubt anyone will be able to answer that question.

@mrbee: Same as what @Truth Bombs: said. It doesn't really load. But here's a screenshot.

@mrbee: I don't think so. It's the same logo as in the middle of the ad with the circle around it. I didn't recognize it at all. Here it is a little bigger hopefully.
