Anyone getting insane amounts of pop ups?

I have an android and it keeps happening to me! It's driving me crazy!!! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one, but still wish it would stop. Is it a problem with the site? I love Dis, but the spam blocker pop-up and dumb winner message is making it unbearable to be on the site.>:(
 
This is driving me nuts on my iPhone (so it's Safari). I hate it. Yesterday it progressed to a flash PORN! I was extremely upset and immediately took the DIS bookmark out and do not intend to ever go to the DIS site on my phone again. Very sad because I checked it constantly.

I get that type of pop on no other site.
 
Absolutely unable to use my iPad for the Dis. Hopefully this can be remedied.
 


I was getting ready to post that it seem to have disappeared but it just came back AND I am not sure what my fat fingers hit trying to return to google in the url box but it led to a porn dite
 
I just posted a separate thread on this. It’s been horrible, and yes DIS is the only site that is having this issue. I just cleared my browsing history on both my iPad and iPhone which means I now have to re-enter passwords for all the sites I use. And my guess is the pop-ups will return. Very disappointing!
 


These popups had stopped for me but they've been bad again today. Most are blocked but even the block notifications cause me to end up at the bottom of the thread over and over.
 
Yes its through google ads I believe.
I have no doubt the source of the problem is with the ad server. I’d be surprised if it’s specifically google’s ad server, as I expect better from them.

But it should also be possible for the forum software (or any website software) to screen ads before serving them, though I realize that places a load on the server. Maybe some hackers have figured a way around that screening.
 
It's been awful today. I did go in a change my settings and blocked pop ups from Facebook, and that seems to have helped some. However, whenever my phone blocks an ad, it jumps to the bottom of the thread page...kind of annoying, but not as bad as the pop ups.
 
Repeat for me.
Yep. This has been a complaint of mine for ages though it did seem better for a bit. It has definitely gotten awful the past week or so.

And yes, I know I can use an an blocker but the DIS is the ONLY site I visit that has this issue. The problem isn't my phone. The problem isn't my browser. The problem is clearly with the DIS and something they do or some setting they use. It would be nice if they would fix it.
 
Turning off JavaScript (Settings->Safari->Advanced) stops this from happening. Opens up some other issues, but those are far easier to deal with than the redirects.
