Default Why ?

Lately on the mobile app everytime I open it I get spam or a pop up from a 3rd party that blocks my access. It’s usually an amazon gift card that I have to close and re start.

Whats going on with the site lately? Thoughts on how to fix on an iOS device ?

Me too! I scroll half way down a page and boom. It is to the point now where I only go on the forum on my home computer. Is anyone aware of a fix to stop this?

We were aware of some rogue ads that appeared to cause issues on Android. We were informed iOS (Apple) was not an issue. While rogue ads are found and pulled, it is not that easy process or to keep up. A suggestion was provided to use Chrome's new beta feature that blocks this behavior on Android.

Just today some members started reporting a similar issue but now on iOS. Apparently, Safari does not have a feature to block rogue ads. Additionally, it appears Chrome on iOS does not have the same feature as it does on Android.

Understand that this is a long holiday weekend and people are with families. This is an issue that only the advertising team can address - not tech.

I don't believe the issue occurs on the full theme or the mobile app from Apple's store. Those are two possible alternatives.

It is difficult to follow and/or update multiple threads. Because there's already an open thread that's being used to complain instead of enjoying the weekend, we'll lock this:
