Ads popping up...

[Moakesy]

From this morning, I'm getting these ads popping up when I click on threads I want to read.



Is it just me, or is it a new thing?

I'm aware that all sites need money to run, so it may be how things are from now on, but I'm also aware I may have caught something nasty on my Mac.

Using Safari 14.0.3 on a MacBookPro running iOS 11.2

Same. I am using Chrome on both a Windows laptop and a Chromebook and get ads on both machines.

 

[Jabberwocky]

Me too. How do I switch off? @calikev , can you help?

 

[Jandy61]

Me too

Will our details be sold next? Slippery slope I'm afraid.

Same here, thought there was something wrong with my settings. Pop up blockers don't seem to make any difference either. Is this to fund the forum, if so it would have been good to let members know that this was going to happen.

To be fair, I trust this site and the admin team much more than pretty much any other forum I use. Their privacy statement covers this off and is compliant. Also, these are the only guys I've actually met.

That said, I'm not happy about these pop-ups happening every two minutes and it will lead me to use to the site less I would imagine.

Doesn't seem to happen when using Chrome on my (Android) phone.

I’m getting ads too. Using an iPone X

No ads here, Firefox on Linux, with AdBlock Plus as an add-on.

Marc.

Same here! iPad Safari.

 

[Moakesy]

Just tried Chrome on the Mac. Same result.

 

[Sunstoner]

Nothing (yet) on my android phone. Will try Chrome on PC shortly.

Nothing here, iPhone user but, some threads saying I’m not authorised to view. Which is odd.

No pop up here. on windows 10

 

[calikev]

We are looking into this it should not be happening

 

[Dr-Snickers]

Me too....I have been trying to work out what I'd done to my computer but couldn't find anything. Glad it's not just me but they are extremely annoying! Thanks for looking in to it @calikev

Edit: Using Safari on MacBook Pro

 

[GrannyJen]

Great!

Convinced it was my laptop I threw the thing at the wall

I will try to glue the pieces together again .....

I’m using safari on an iPad and I’m not getting pop ups.

 

[terryph]

Its been happening to me since yesterday on my laptop running window10 and chrome

 

[soulstyledevon]

Getting the same since yesterday.

[Ryemslie]

Hopefully it doesn’t last as it’s very annoying

Edit: Using Safari on an iPad: Everything okay.
