Anyone else getting pop ups from this site?

[Disneyliscious]

Been a member here for 10 years or more and never had this happen until last night and again this morning. Twice, when I've been tabbed into other windows, my DIS page will come up and a pop up box is there telling me to click it because I've won something. This mornings had something to do with Wheel of Fortune on it. I just closed out of both. Its most definitely coming from this site because I was in a completely different window both times and it auto brought me back to the DIS Boards page both times. Anyone else getting this?

I've gotten it a few times while using my cell phone, but I hvnt been able to tell what it is, it's all blurry. Then I hv to exit out of the page and reload it, same as you.

Yes it's been happening to me as well. I only use the site from my phone and it pops into the App Store all the time taking me to the Uber app and there isn't even an Uber ad running on the page.

No, but I use an ad blocker.

No, but I use an ad blocker.

Same here....no pop-ups

I have AdBlock Plus enabled, but I'm still getting them. Guess it's time to look into a new blocker. Any suggestions?

 

[Disneyliscious]

I have an ad blocker as well. Like I said, this never happened till last night.

I just got one a few minutes ago.

OK, now it's really annoying. I was on a different tab, and an ad popped up here and redirected me to this tab.

Also getting a bunch of ads with sound that you can't shut up unless you mute your computer.

I run AdBlock AND Adblock Plus.

I haven't seen a popup in years!

I just looked at the Tech Support forum. There was a similar thread from back in May that was bumped due to this issue. Not one mod or webmaster responded on that thread. What's the point of a tech support board if you can't get any actual help there? I can't even find info there on how to contact someone directly.

ETA: I took sam_gordon's advice and added AdBlock. I also updated my AdBlock Plus extension while I was at it. Crossing my fingers that those actions do the trick.

I've had that issue on phone the last couple of months. Strangely enough, I haven't had an issue in about a week.

It comes and goes on my phone. Computer no issues I use ad blocker.

 

[cedricandsophie]

All the time on my phone which is where I msinly use it. Occasionally on my iPad. Very annoying

 

[Atlas722]

No.

often the site gets money,from the adds so it wouldnt make sense for them showing you how to not look at there advertisers

That's why I stopped even going to that forum. I have never gotten a response from any question I have ever asked. This site has been reeking havoc on my computer for the last month.

No problems here, but I make sure I have Adblock up. I HAVE noticed of late that the boards seem to be running a bit rough and that usually happens at the same times that people have issues with ads and popups.

True. But they could at least have the decency to say that, due to agreements with advertisers, they are unable to provide assistance with ads and pop-up issues. I think most people would respect that. To actually have a tech board but then ignore some posters' questions is poor business, IMO. They certainly have enough time on their hands to purge threads and divvy out points, lol. I don't think taking a minute to provide a quick explanation would be all that burdensome.
