Fix the broken full-screen aspect ratio
Full-screen is messed up if you're using a monitor with a 16x10 resolution. Please fix this. I love looking at your photos, but can't do it when the full-screen aspect ration is so corrupted. Come on... this really shouldn't be a difficult thing to figure out.
2nd rankedThanks for the feedback. Can you let us know more about what you mean by full screen? Are you referring to the entire website when your browser is in full screen? Or some other experience within our site? Thanks.

Photos either don’t load or take forever to load, sometimes even overnight. I’m about to give up visiting Autoblog.
Either iOS or MacOS, your website is crippled. Most of the time photos with an article simply don’t load

Thanks for writing in. Your experience is certainly not typical. Have you ever had this type of experience on any other website. Would you internet connection happen to be slow, or restricted somehow? Which browsers were you using, and if you try another browser, does the issue go away?

Broken images on RSS feed
There seems to be multiple URLs declared for images in every article/item in your RSS feed, which since conjoined together, causes a malformed image source and therefore prevents the article image from loading correctly. This should be a simple fix from your web team, so could you please rectify ASAP.
6th rankedThanks for the info, we’ll take a look.

Stop autoplay of podcasts
Stop the autoplay of podcasts. If I want to listen to your podcast, I will hit "play." This is annoying as pop-up ads and the Microsoft paperclip. If efforts like this continue, I'll just not visit your site anymore.

Fix use of back key.
When looking at all news articles, then opening an individual article, then hitting the back button takes me all the way back to home screen and I have to load up all the news articles each time to get to the next news article after the one that I just opened previously. Hitting back button should take me back to the exact spot that I was at before and not have to reload all the other news articles again to get back to the spot I was before.

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.
2nd rankedGood morning. Wanted to let you know that we are working with our partner to add a “mute” or “hide” commenter feature. We don’t have a timeline defined for this yet but will keep you updated.

Stop disguising ads as content
I absolutely do not begrudge you having ads, but I can't stand the embedded Forbes articles disguised as Autoblog content. It's trickery.

stop the pop-up ads
Why do I get a pop up ad to buy a car every time I scroll to the bottom of your pages? Why do I lose half my screen each time I open a page because an ad slides down from the top? You already have more ad content than I like but now these pop up ads. Your website is annoying and there is plenty of competition. Please just stop.

Advertisement banner at the top
Your homepage now has a advertisement banner at the top that does not move. Its bad UX. Previously that was something that moved/ minimized. I would recommend considering an alternative that allows more priority for you content rather than the ad.

stop autoplay
You guys had a horrid redesign lately and you fixed it. But now you have autoplay. And I'm cutting you off the my blogroll because of it. You lost audience reach for the 2nd time.

Load articles first then advertising
I love this site, the articles and write ups. What I don't like is how long it takes for some articles to appear. I have to wait for ads to load or a ******* video I could care less about. At that point I just leave. Please load the Autoblog content first then the paid advertising.

Thanks for your feedback. We are actually working on a project that will significantly reduce the impact of advertising on the overall user experience. We have not set a launch date yet, but this is a high priority for us.

Eautoclassic Traders are actively advertising cars on this and many other car sites and are a fraudulent company. They take payments from people and then refuse to deliver the vehicle or refund the money that was paid. They ripped me off for $2500 this February and will do the same to others if we don't collectively stop them. Please inform anyone in the car sales business that you can and put them on a blacklist if you can. This warning is going out to over 80 online car companies this week in an effort to educate the public. These are…

Block sites that are illegally content-scraping your articles
Work to block websites such as newsitn.com that are actively content-scraping your articles for illegal commercial gain. For instance:
