Anyone getting insane amounts of pop ups?

[PollyannaMom]

For me it’s Comcast. I was getting them every time I tried to get on earlier today. This is the only site I get them on as well.

Mine were Comcast yesterday, then some other one today that I exited out of before I really got a good look. I definitely think it's triggered when certain ads come up in the rotation. Is there a way we can identify and eliminate them?


ETA : Got the AT+T one today.

This site is 100% unusable for me on mobile as of the last couple of days. As soon as I go to the web site on my iphone, I get a "congratulations" type pop up. It used to be occasional to sometimes frequent (before the board upgrade), then it stopped for awhile, now it's back with a vengeance.

Same as everyone. Was bad before the update- so bad I had to stop using it. Then it was good after the update until 2 days ago. Now I’ve been getting Comcast, Verizon, at&t and Walmart ones. Ugh. Hope it gets better!

It’s unusable. I can’t load more than 2-3 pages without getting the pop-ups. Only this site.

Waiting for response from webmasters.,,.

I'm done. I could not get to the site on my phone this morning after multiple attempts. Desktop/laptop only for me from now on until they fix this.

Me too. I thought the point of the board upgrade was improved use of the site on mobile. These ads make it unusable on mobile. I am fine with ads, don't get me wrong. I realize that's how they make revenue. But if the ads are making the site unusable...? (Posting this from a desktop computer, by the way!)

Yup my Mac is now battling the pop ups again.

Now when I use my iPhone it goes to a picture porn site instead of the congrats message

Wait a minute. Now I'm upset that all I'm getting is that I've won a Walmart gift card.

Today I started get porn pop ups. While getting a pedicure. Not awesome Dis. Haven’t gotten any while on this time, so maybe it’s fixed? I can’t continue to use the site if explicit porn is popping up, it was bad enough with you have won and Verizon ads.

 

[kiramay]

Yes. Constantly. And I DO have pop up ads blocked on my phone. It still happens with this board. (No other websites)

 

[jimim]

Only only only site this happens on. Literally no other site on my phone or iPad ever gives me an issue.

Yup I got porn now too. I didn’t want to mention I was like maybe it’s just me and didn’t want to be that guy. Lol

Here is an article about it I found from Jan 2018

Sounds like it is the ad service letting these popups through.

I sure wish someone from the DIS actually read and responded to the Tech Support forum.

This is exactly me on my iPhone and iPad. Only this site. I really wish someone from DIS would respond as well.
