Default Crazy pop-up ads and redirects

I am put out with our site. Everytime I log on these days, right in the middle of reading a post or searching for something, I get some crazy pop-up ad.....or I get redirected to a different website.

Am I the only one getting this?

More importantly, is there a way to correct this?

I don't get any pop ups at all on this site. Some others are a pain though.

Nope. No pop up ads here either. Just the long list of supporters on the right side of the threads.

Download and run "Malware bytes", your computer has issues.

I am getting them but only on my mobile device, not my computer.

It's absolutely terrible on my iPhone. In another thread, someone named J T representing the Forum asked me to send screen shots to him. I sent him over a dozen last week but haven't gotten a reply yet. The only reason I'm coming back here at all right now is to check for a reply.

Try this
https://www.ghostery.com/try-us/down...ser-extension/

Works great to speed up the Forum site. It will show you all the tracking junk on the site. The list is long on some pages.

Nope, it's not my computer. It only does it on this site and only on my iPhone. 3 other people in my local Cirvette club were talking about it at our meeting yesterday.

I friend of mine with a C4 just found the sight, and it's doing it to him too.

It's a Corvette Forum issue

Try the ghostery plugin

works for me to stop the pop-ups.
