It's worse for me than it has ever been. I know some of it is RNG on getting a bad ad.

Same here, I use Safari on my IPad and can't find that page. I haven't loaded the latest update so I don't know if that has anything to do with it...

O.K., I'm guessing these are apps...no I don't have them installed but I will look in the AppStore now, thank you!

Edit- O.K., I just downloaded and installed these 2 Apps, they're now enabled so we'll see what happens...

With Ad Blocker and NeverAds installed I've opened the Corvette Forum about half a dozen times on my IPad and so far no Amazon ads, MAYBE a fix!

Default Amazon popup

This needs to be addressed by CF. I do not get this popup on either my desktop or my iPad, on any other website. I am a paid lifetime member,
but there will be a point in time where the annoyance will outweigh the
enjoyment and benefit of CF if it continues. That will be a shame.

Hasn't happened on my IPad since I installed Ad Blocker and NeverAds. I don't have either of these installed on my Android phone, yesterday I tried to open the Forum on my phone and IMMEDIATELY got the Amazon ad. I don't want to put anymore crap on my phone so I'll just live without Corvette Forum on the phone for now, hopefully THEY'LL get this fixed eventually.

if you would do some of the things outlined in this thread, it would stop it.... guess you would rather just complain about it though

It never left. They aren't interested in fixing it now.

If you're using Chrome on iOS, it may not work. We have no control over Chrome and iOS.



Well since Safari doesn't appear to have the same "trick" to dealing with these types of growing issues with ads on the Internet, which Chrome is currently doing in beta form, then you'll need to go to Apple/Safari for support and lobby them to copy the feature.

It only happens here !

Added NeverAds app working fine so far . So why is Apple not installing something like this already built in ?

Those who are using Apple's own browser have previously reported this isn't an issue. I'm not aware if Apple has the same type of blocking feature as Chrome browser does.
It only come up on c5 General ! That’s the only time ! WTF
