In the browser developer tools I see errors such as the following.
It is very common for websites to have errors but perhaps related to that I also get a block at the bottom of some pages, such as forum pages, that is nearly transparent with nothing in it. It is in a `span` element with `class="ezoic-ad"`. When present, it interferes with the use of the page. Does that happen to anyone else? It happens for me in both Edge and Chrome.
I have seen this type of behavior in other sites too. I often see a block at the bottom of pages that is nearly transparent with nothing in it. It seems to be related to advertisements and perhaps the problem is the result of ad-blocking software.

Yes, Sam. There is an Ezoic ad running at the bottom. If you have an Ad Blocking tool installed, you prob see it as a transparent space. We're testing this ad and will prob remove in the next update.
Cheers!

Thank you Mahesh. At least there is an explanation and it is a known issue. I think I am willing to make an exception for C# Corner for my ad blocking. Except I cannot find an ad blocking extension installed. Other sites say I have ad blocking but I do not know what it is. When I follow the instructions for adding an exception, the insturctions are for allowing tracking, not ads. There is a difference. I have added an exception to allow C# Corner to track and now I see ads. It is not an ad blocking extension that makes a difference, it is the tracking setting provided by Edge.
The other problem I posted about that the window for posting code in forum posts is the same whether tracking is enabled or disabled except when there is an ad at the bottom, the Green OK button is normally hidden by the ad and therefore it is obvious why the button cannot be clicked. When there is no ad it is not obvious why the button cannot be clicked
