Pop up Ads

[mommyatty]

Are you guys getting a bunch of ads that start with “Congrats Amazon User”? I’m about thiiiiiiis close to quitting this board because I’m tired of dealing with them. It’s just about impossible to read anything or participate because of the freaking ads.

I have never gotten one of those here - I only access on my iPhone and have pop ups blocked - have you blocked pop ups?

I have gotten those on other random sites.

[mommyatty]

Yep, pop ups are blocked. It is opening a new website and redirecting me. On phone and iPad. So annoying.

Do you use the website or tapatalk? I just use the website and no problems on computer or iPhone.

[mommyatty]

The website. I guess I’m just lucky.

mommyatty - me too. I get them all the time on my phone. It’s maddening. 😡

[2chatter]

I’m on the app - not the website - so that might be the difference.

I did twice today. It hasn't happened in a couple of months.

mommyatty, Yes, but only on my ipad or iphone, not on my laptop.

A quick google search says it is adware that has infected your device or browser.

I know nothing about these suggestions on the website. It was just the first to pop up.

Not here. I just use my phone; no Tapatalk

[mommyatty]

That appears to have solved it. Thanks, waverly!
