I installed the Opera browser on my iphone, and the pop ups are gone when surfing the forum.

Awesome that it’s not the site’s fault, but I only get this issue on this site. I’m using the same iPhone and safari browser everywhere...

I've not had this issue.

I'm running MS Windows 10, MS Edge browser and Add Block Plus for Edge.

Safe browsing is on as well.

Good luck all.

I loaded the app RemoveAds on my iPad and it stopped the Amazon pop ups. Now I can’t stay logged into the forum past a few clicks and I am logged out. I think this is originating from the forum.

I have this issue only on my iPhone and only on the Corvette Forum. Major annoyance.

I haven't seen the pop-ups but makes sense. Speculating but is likely a Google ad service or (more likely) directly from Amazon, pretty standard for various forums. Blocked in my case by using Chrome for Mac and AdBlock but Amazon has been getting much more aggressive in the last few months or so.

Gotta keep the place funded and the ad companies will get better and circumventing blockers (assuming you're running them) but I'll stay proactive and try to squash them...

A MAJOR PITA. After the pop-up appears I have to restart the browser!

I wonder if the people who run the forum are allowing this adware?

Useless for tablets.

I will not be surprised if they delete this thread. After-all they do limit free speech.

“The people who run the forum” is, after all, a private for-profit company. Free speech doesn’t apply.
