    Good morning everyone,

     

    Just got word that Amazon should be working properly now. If you made any workaround changes, please revert back to your original settings and give it a test run.

     

    Thank you,

An ad blocker is what I would suggest. Just wish there was something for phones/tablets for all the mraid stuff.

I have installed Ad Blocker Ultimate from the Chrome web store.  I made sure Amazon was loading properly, then logged in to Animal Jam, then back to Amazon.  No issues.  But here is the weird part.  The chrome browser on the tower doesn't have ad blocker installed.  Yet it doesn't cause the issue any longer either.  In fact, Animal Jam is National Geographic and subscription based, which is to say it does not contain ads.  Ad blocker doesn't indicate any ads at Animal Jam, but it does show a lot of ads blocked at Amazon.  I'll have to run a couple more tests, but at the moment, it looks like an ad at Amazon was conflicting with my laptop and sharing that conflict with the router.  Animal Jam was stumbling over it, but the results don't show up on Animal Jam, they show up back at Amazon.
