Mods do something about this spam!!!
This has gotten out of control I have been noticing that the spam has progressively gotten worse and worse over the past month. last night I could not get on the form without doing about three or four clicks and getting this pop up spam through Amazon or google winner, I have never experienced this before on any other car form and this is getting out of control please do something about this.
This seems to only happen on my cell phone which is a new iPhone 8 but I have also experienced this on a PC computer as well but only a few times like 3 at most, I have also downloaded Google and Firefox browser‘s for my iPhone and it has done nothing the same spam pops up so this is something within the corvette forum.

If you're using Chrome on your iphone, you can do the following proposed suggestion that has been posted several times.
Enter the following URL in the address bar:
chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture
Then enable the highlighted option.
The issue is not only on CorvetteForum. It is a growing issue with the advertisement system in general. Google itself has been pulling ads that violate their policies. The above will work on other sites that rely on advertising to help pay the bills for running a website that is free for members to access but not free to operate and may have some rogue ads in the network.
Regarding it happening on your desktop, that may be different. CorvetteForum doesn't use pop-ups and the majority of the complaints about pop-ups are from mobile users using a mobile device and the mobile skin - which is works different from the desktop.
You might want to run a malware and virus scan on your desktop.
Lastly, Moderators and Administrators don't directly handle advertising. So if you have a concern, you can post the issue but don't blame the Moderators/Administrators as they are not responsible for advertising content.
