A Few Issues on the Mobile Site I Should Have Mentioned Earlier

I should have said this earlier, but I've been having a bit of a hard time with how the site formats on my mobile device (phone).

Firstly, the longest running issue is how the Google ads appear over the home page. They make it impossible to click the "Dinosaur Toys (General)" tab. They do the same thing in topics, for the buttons at the top ("reply", etc.).

Second, this has only happened recently, but, the section with my profile picture, search bar, unread topics, and new replies has entirely disappeared from the top of the page. It was very convenient, but not as much an issue as the first, since it does somewhat appear at the bottom of the home page.

Finally, and this is the least annoying issue, the "new" button on topics doesn't  actually send me to the most recent post. It actually sends me to a page or two before the newest post.

I'd like to know if this is just happening to me, or do other mobile users have similar issues?

New doesn't send you to the newest post, it sends you to the most recently unread post. Do you mean it sends you a few pages before that?

Usually, but maybe you're right. I usually don't check a topic everyday, so that may just be what I'm experiencing.

If you want to click the Dinosaur Toys (General) tab on mobile, you have to tilt your phone sideways. I did that by accident and discovered that you can click on it that way.

For real?

I'd also like to know if anyone else experiences the ad issue, that shouldn't happen, so if it is widespread I need to find a fix.
