Spam on this site

Does anyone else have an issue with pop ups/spam while cruising the Corvette Forums?...I visit 12 to 14 different forums and web pages every day and this is the only one it happens with.Its the same one as shown in pic consistently...Every single time I visit this forum only....It's extremely annoying as you have to exit the site,close it out ,and reload it...It's really pissing me off...And no,,I don't visit adult sites...Atleas not on this tab😊

Yes, I've been getting that one a couple times per day for the last week. I just got home a week ago, maybe it's something looking for me? Only happens here though.

if you are using Chrome, enter the following URL in the address bar, and enable the option that is highlighted in the pic

chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture

i was getting random crap like that on here and my350z.com, both IB sites but i think the party that sells/handles advertising on here is to blame

since enabling that, it has not happened since

**edit** i do get this every once in a while, and i think it is the redirect trying to take over

Yeah that afflicts crapple devices. I asked if anyone had a good popup blocker but as usual the threads get moved/merged before anyone has a chance to give good advice.

The best advice is right here in this thread. Use Chrome and enable the magic setting - no more annoying popups.

Since you're using Android:

I would follow the idea as posted in the following link:

We're locking this thread because we can't monitor and update multiple threads regarding the same concern. The referenced links above are there in case there's useful information to share.

Thanks.
