Anyone getting insane amounts of pop ups?

[Jimmy Mouse]

Happened to me again about 2 hours ago on my laptop. Went incognito and it happened again. Got on my phone just now and it’s still happening over and over. I just cleared browser and it let me post this. It only happens in The Dis and like others have posted, no one in the tech department will reply. I will just log on to post my countdowns and get off from now on till I hear this issue being addressed.

For those using Chrome, AdGuard seems to be fixing the Walmart gift card popup.

It works on Safari on my phone too. The only problem is that very restrictive ad blockers make other websites flaky too. However, the DIS was completely unreadable with the spawning ads from hell popping up on every single click.

The pop ups are making the site unusable.

The pop ups are making the site unusable.

90% of the pop ups are here, hardly any on other sites. This morning at least 10-15 times in an hour. Sometime within secs.

I’m used to the occasional annoying “you won” redirect, but today it is every single time, for example to

Same thing happening to me since last night. It has let me on long enough this morning to look to see if anyone has had the same issue and make this post.

I'm not getting pop ups, but full redirects, mostly to spam security warnings.

I am getting these pop-ups as well. Very frustrating!

Was getting this frequently (Pixel running Chrome). Switched to using the desktop site (on my phone) and haven't seen it since.

Yes, they are redirects and not pop ups. I have pop ups turned off and I still got these nasty page hijackers until I added an adblocker on my phone and iPad. I think people (including myself who actually knows better) use ‘pop up’ in a generic sense.

I have been getting the pop-ups on my desktop computer (using Chrome). No problems on my phone.

I've been using this site for years and now on every browser on every computer, phone and tablet, the site is totally hijacked by the "You are the Winner"
It is so frustrating and I'm begging Dis to fix the problem.

Understandable... but the Target employee might care.

How do we direct our frustration with the right parties?

Over the weekend I could not get on here. I think the longest was 30 seconds? Just gave up. I've never seen such.

 

[dlavender]

No. I'm tagging them here @WebmasterAlex @WebmasterCorey

@WebmasterAlex @WebmasterDoc @WebmasterJackie @WebmasterJohn @WebmasterKathy @WebmasterMaryJo @WebmasterMike @WebmasterPete @WebmasterWill @Teleclashter (didn't tag Corey as I believe he was in an accident recently, and for good measure just added other webmasters that popped up).

It's a total nightmare, this is one of my favorite boards to hang out and read.....and now it is unusable on any platform or browser.

There are multiple sites?

Why can't the ITs fix this?

Ad revenue?

Same issue here! I'm being hijacked by "you are a winner" redirects every few seconds...on my iphone, ipad, and laptop. It's getting so I can't read anything.

Update: I installed the Adguard app on my phone and no more redirects (yet) today. Fingers crossed.
