Don't click on it. An obvious trap.

The problem is you can’t do anything else once it pops up. I am using an IPad, I didn’t think Apple had these problems?

I have been having the same problem on my I phone. I downloaded ad block from the App Store. It is a free download and it worked great. It was getting so annoying. Try it.
Good luck.
Rob.

I am getting them constantly on the iPhone. I hit the back button 2-3 times and it recovers the forum page, but then reappears after 5-6 views. Apple gives a few "fixes", but none have worked yet. I may spend the .99 like Frankie, because this is very annoying.

I'll gladly accept ads if they want to pay my cell phone and internet bill. Until then they should stay off my phone.

iBlocker costs you a buck but has some nice settings to let attachments and avatars (e.g. media) through but block trackers and privacy spyware...

I went to the App Store and there are all different kinds of choices??? I saw some for $1.99 but non for $.99 and none identified as a true Apple product that I could tell?

I am having same issue, only on one iPad and only on the CorvetteForum. I am thinking that it is some type of issue with the CorvetteForum more so than an issue with our phones or iPads.

What say you CorvetteForum?

Just below this thread are two running threads (one for Android and one for Apple) with cross-posting.

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...on-pop-up.html

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...d-android.html

It is difficult to update and follow multiple threads. An update was provided in both aforementioned threads. That is, the ad team is aware of the issue and is working on it.
