I've loaded an example document and do not see what you mean when navigating between pages. A problem like that should be extremely jarring and it is very hard to believe it would be ignored.

> A problem like that should be extremely jarring

Agreed - I don't see how its not glaringly obvious to anyone who uses the app:

Genuinely asking - what's the issue? I don't see it.

I click to navigate to the "Examples" page (I am gesturing with my mouse to circle around a bit I want you to look at). Then i navigate to "Main components", and back to "Examples" and the content in that area has changed. For example, the button has changed to half the original width.

It's that very bottom button you're referring to, right?

Thats the one I specifically mention, sure, but there are many more changes to the page overall if you compare the before and after.

Unrelated but imgur is basically malware at this point. I had to click through so many layers of nagging popups (including a “don’t support us” button, then a severely low-contrast “view in safari” button on a dialog explicitly designed to get me to accidentally click the app link), then when I finally got to your picture, any sort of interaction with the page whatsoever, including pinch-zooming to see the image, just took me away to a different page altogether.

I sincerely hate imgur and hope the whole site goes bankrupt, and I can’t stand it when anyone links to them.

Can you suggest a low-effort alternative I can use in future?

Yeah can't see that lasting. I wish someone would make one with limited adverts that just pays for the hosting and moderation costs. How hard can it be?

I mean nothing is guaranteed to last in the future, but catbox.moe has been around for like a decade already.

Here's a comparison of alternatives

strange, I got no pop ups at all

Yeah, imgur had very simple & humble origins and fostered a surprisingly active, reddit-like community (though I'm sure imgurians would resent that particular comparison), and then holy shit it just turned into a bizarrely bloated overstuffed hodgepodge of fire-garbage. I just looked at the homepage for the first time in forever and—wait, what? "Arcade"?

Bleh.

Also it's not accessible in the UK without workarounds that I'm not going to bother with for that dumpster fire of a site.

I'm glad that at times like these, I switched to Brave browser on all of my platforms (desktop and mobile). I can't recommend it enough.

I didn’t experience any of that, using an iPad. There were ads above and to the right of the OP video, but it displayed the video with no popups.

Came with receipts lol - hopefully they can repro and fix this but the fact it as omitted for 8 months kind of hints at how little people are using it.

Yeah you can really see the resize comparing the before and after. https://jpst.it/4KgSB

Wow you're right. I've tried again with the same wireframing kit and it happened to me too! That's unbelievable.
