Anyone getting insane amounts of pop ups?

[Dan Murphy]

Are there any updates to this besides the suggestion to install ad blocking software? That's a workaround, not a solution.

None.

You can contact the Webmasters directly (Disney World Information - DIS Team). Send them a PM. You should receive a response.

Never a problem on my desktop with Adblock Plus running.

Consistently a problem on my Android phone. Installed Adblock Plus but still had the problem. Did some research and found out Ad blockers work differently on phones and for the Android at least, you needed a browser with the ad blocker integrated. It sounds like that's just what @starry_solo did.

Switched to an iphone this summer, where apparently this works differentl . Added the Adblock Plus app and haven't had any issues at all.

Just chiming in that this has been happening to me too and is making this unuseable on my phone. I've wiped my phone and reinstalled the apps several times, so it is not my phone, it is the site.

I agree. I do not want to install an ad blocker. I have been uninstalling apps to have enough free space on my phone already.

I was good for a while after updating my iPhone. They started up again today. I’m sick of this.

I have an iPhone, and have not installed the adblock plus app. I get pop ups and have to back out then in again a few times to read posts. The admins that I send these reports to are corey@wdwinfo.com and alex@wdwinfo.com.

This website is basically becoming unusable on my iPhone with Spam pop-up ads.

It started this week for me. Pretty much every time I click on anything here on the DIS I get redirected to some spam website. Please fix this - it's only happening on this site and not on any others I visit. Oh, and I'm on my laptop, not my phone. I can't really use the website right now.

For the past week, both Apple and Android devices get pop ups if I'm on the Dis for more than a minute. The "You've won a gift card!" variety.

This NEVER happens to me on any other websites. This is 100% a DIS issue, and should be aggressively addressed by DIS.

Agree that this problem only happens, on my phone and on my computer, on this site. And the only reliable solution that I have found is to download the free version of AdGuard for iPhone and for Safari.

Any feedback from either, MJ?

No. I'm tagging them here @WebmasterAlex @WebmasterCorey

Ugh, 4 times, MJ, trying to reply to you here, I was a Walmart rewards winner. Nope, 5 times now. It's a horrible experience. I hope not too many people get sucked into whatever the pop ups lead to. Now 6 times on this one reply. Can't imagine why no response. Now 7.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

It doesn’t always happen to me, but when it does it is very annoying. No issues on this post, though.

 

[Starport Seven-Five]

Yep, get used to it. It's been going on for a while and the team seems to have no interest in fixing it.

Get used to it. It's been going on since at least May:

A LOT longer than last May. It was finally in May, after many months of this crap, that I thought I would take a poll.

Typing this on my desktop, always fine. I hate it when I try to use my phone or tablet.

As far as I know, this has been an issue since switching to the new version of this board software.
