Default Pop up ads from Vdopia

Started tonight. Ads for TJ Maxx, Marshall's and other companies keep popping up from a company called Vdopia. Anyone else? Using Safari on I Pad

Thanks.

I use an IPhone and the forum has become next to unusable for me. If the pop up comes up after you have stretched a screen to read, the X to close the add is off the visible page and you cannot resize the screen to get it.

Any one time I use the forum, I kill and reopen Safari about 5 times due to pop ups that won't go away.

I'm getting an annoying Land Rover ad at the bottom of the page on my iPhone all the time. No way to get rid of it I guess?

I'm having the same issues, and the mobile view always has the lower right corner dog eared with an ad behind it. This is really making the mobile experience bad.

Me too.

Looks like after 10-15 seconds the kill button suddenly shows up. That means to read a thread there is a a delay every page and then if you make a post. I think it's probably just bad design. Maybe it will be fixed.

I'm not seeing any pop-ups using a windows machine on either IE9 or Firefox. I'll ask the tech folks to take a look.

If you're lucky that little x shows up to close, but depending on which way the iPad is turned, sometimes it runs off the screen and you can't close. I have to close my safari tab and reopen.

No issues on my galaxy 3 or my windows laptop, but I do most of my browsing on the iPad.

Same problem using my I pad the past couple of days. Makes it very difficult to use the forum because the "x" to delete the add is off the screen.

Try a mobile system. It's making safari unusable on my iPhone and iPad.
