Default Pop Up Ads

I am a lifetime member and I am getting pop up ads on the mobile version of the site. Don't care for it. Is there a way I can stop them? I don't have them on the full version.
Thanks
Tom

Hello,

Can you please tell me if you're logged into when this happens? Also, are you using the mobile template for regular site? Can you send me a screen shot next time it happens?

Thanks for all your help,
Renee

I am using an iPhone 5 accessing the site in the mobile format. I am signed in. I don't know how to take a screen shot on the phone. I get full page ads that have to be closed to see the forum site and banner ads that go across the center of the screen. It happens when I select a forum to view, such as C2 Parts, or select a thread within a forum group. Not every time but better than 50% of the time. Very annoying.
Thanks
Tom

Im seeing the same thing on the standard web page while logged in. I went to my recent topics, and clicked on one of the threads and got redirected to a full page ad for Dowling college saying "now a work from out sponsor" for a college of some kind. It has a link saying "back to site" or something similar that took me back to the forum.

This is the site I was redirected to : http://www.dowling.edu/veterans/

Figured out screen shots. This is what happened the second I clicked on this thread.



I get these as well.





The banner ads are sometimes are right in the middle of trhe page and float so they stay in the middle of the page if you try and scroll them out of the way. The mobile site is almost unusable for me. Please fix.
Thanks

Mine is not fixed. If I turn off JavaScript it doesn't do it but then I loose access to some other sites. With JavaScript enabled I still get them. Something has changed. I didn't use to have this problem with the same phone with same settings. Help!

The Mobile ads you were seeing should be resolved.

I've been getting some new pop up ads for the last week or so. They are not real big, in fact they are only covering up 6 or 7 thread listings but stretch across the whole screen left to right. And the really annoying thing is it starts in the middle of the screen and when I delete it, it then shows up at the bottom of the screen which I have to delete again (same ad).
This only on my IPad with wifi.
