Read an article, and instead of being able to carry on down reading other articles, page jumps back to the top leaving one to start scrolling all over again. Today, the site won't scroll down. Ads everywhere, garish colours and just a general mess, so much so that I have abandoned reading Stuff at all. How are others experiencing this absolute disaster?
