App image galleries are not loading.
I have problems with your mobile app. Whenever there is a photo in an article that has the little boxes in it that indicate a slideshow is available, when I click on it all I get is a blank page. Also, many articles have imbeded pictures that don't appear (like the current article on the custom Ranger). I don't know what is causing this and from the comments I see, others don't seem to have these problems. Samsung S7.
2nd rankedThanks. We’ll take a look.

Stories in app aren't loading properly.
In the last month or so the app has developed a problem whereby stories in the news feed will update but the stories do not load when selected. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling several times but no luck. Please help, this app is so useful to me.

Scroll Issue
In iOS, when scrolling down through articles, the article thumbnails will flicker and then I find myself several pages down where I was originally scrolling and need to scroll way back up to find where I was. ?

Mobile site redirects to weird ads/malware without letting return to article
Your site on mobile (iPhone XR using Safari) and every other mobile device seems to redirect to malware and weird ads at random articles
6th rankedThank you for your feedback. Sometimes malware ads creep in through bad advertising partners. Can you get a screenshot of the ad or recall what the ad was advertising so we can track it down and remove it?

Back Button
You should have some way to get back to the main page without using the back button in a web browser. Currently when you do so it takes you back to the top of the main page as opposed to the page on which you clicked on an article.
6th rankedThanks for the example. There is an old but still valid web development tenet that says “don’t break the back button”. We try to stick to best practices like this when we can in an effort to provide consistency across browsers. For a while, browser vendors were handling back button clicks differently. However, they’ve come back to a more common way in recent years. If you scroll down our home page or another page that lists our posts and then click the browser back button in Chrome, Firefox or Safari, you will go back to the same place you were (for the most part). This may not be the case when large ads are running at the top of the screen. We’ll continue to investigate different scenarios and possible solutions. We really appreciate your feedback.

Work on clarity of thought. Here is why.
Your writer claimed "Ram 3500 HD: The Ram 3500 HD is ranked dead last on Consumer Reports' list of the most unreliable vehicles in America for 2018"
So this means that coming in "last" means it is NOT the most unreliable vehicle... when I think he was attempting to say it came in "first" for most unreliable vehicle. The logic leaves any reader wondering...6th ranked -

Turn off video auto play in articles
It would be great if videos didn’t autoplay in articles or at least give us the option to turn it off. I listen to music on my headphones or through a Bluetooth speaker often. When I read an article, the videos automatically stop my music and takeover. It’s really annoying.

Stop intrusive malware and redirect ads!
Looks like you have at least one rogue ad that is auto redirecting mobile visitors to a malware site. I tested it and it showed up repeatedly on this page: https://www.autoblog.com/2018/11/30/gm-ceo-mary-barra-washington-lawmakers/
6th rankedThanks for the feedback. We are looking into it. Can you tell us which ad placement you were looking at? For example, was it at the very top, or the square on the right of the page. Or perhaps one of the suggested articles near the bottom?

Ignore Commenter
Please allow for the people to actively ignore other members. For the love of god... please. If I have to see another childishly bold comment from The Car Expert (sic), I'm going to lose it.

Home page change sucks
WTF. The home page used to give a small photo and a 1 or 2 line description of the story. Today I get the small photo then a screen filling version of the same photo and I do not see any useful description of the story. It seem that every update makes the site less useful. If this is still this way next week I will be changing my home page from https://www.autoblog.com/ to google or better for this sites new look www.dogpile.com. You have been my home page for several years but not anymore? Up to you.
6th rankedWe haven’t made any significant changes to our home page recently. You may have experienced a bug that we’re not aware of. When I view our home page, I see an image, title and subtitle/teaser for each piece of content with a few exceptions. Are you not seeing that?

Images render at the wrong aspect ratio
Your images and galleries don't render at the correct aspect ratio. I'm using a typical Windows PC with a 1080p screen and all your images appear squished, like they're stretching whatever aspect ratio the image was provided in. This makes for a poor viewing experience.
6th rankedThank you for your feedback. We’re working to address aspect ratios of images where we can. In some cases, the responsiveness of our site makes this a little tricky. Please look for updates in the near future.
