Every time I click on a post to reply or a different topic, etc, it's taking up to two minutes to load the adverts up, is there a problem with the site. On other sites it seems a lot quicker.

Think its related, but the banner ad at the top causes a delays for me in the page loading. For example the page seems to be loaded and you go to click on a thread but then the page jumps for the banner to load and suddenly im in some other thread that I wouldnt normally be caught dead in and everybodys staring at me thinking what are you doing here you dont know old everton pics
Also every now and then the page just goes blank and auto refreshes completely
Happening in Chrome on both Android phone and ipad

The top banner takes ages for me to load on my other devices - the page itself loads but the ad loads a while after, and without adblock on that browser.I can see average load time across the whole site and it hasn't changed folks.
As for the ads, same network as most of the internet so they won't load any later here vs elsewhere.
[Edit] if you have an adblock/ghostery/ublock type thing on a browser - which a lot of Ipads now enable by default, I suspect it'll be that.

At home - I have a custom dns for myself with a network-wide 'adblock' so don't see ads, but the page loads fine and normally.
E: I used my phone a few times lately and have had no issues on mobile or wifi as well.
Weird, because the top banner is the same ad network mate as everywhere else.
So, within thread ads etc are the exact same at that one. Quick video, showing what load times should be about (the top ad and side ad should load pretty much identical)
This is on pretty modest broadband, 30 mbps;
^ So should be a second or so behind the rest of page - less if on a decent setup.
