Anyone getting insane amounts of pop ups?

It’s with google ads not google the browser so that’s why you only see it here.

Thanks for the reply. Norton’s Ad Blocker seems to be doing the trick. Funny how it just started a few weeks ago. When the ads popped up I couldn’t even back out of them on my iPad. I had to close out the page and reload the DIS website. I was about to give up and quit using the boards. Glad it looks like I found a solution. Thanks again.

Yeah, I did see a message on the Galaxy's Edge subforum after I asked. Not sure why it isn't stickied or in some other way posted on the top of the site.

I moderate the UO 4 forums and have what yuliln3 posted as a sticky

That's good, mac. And yes, it should be a sticky, or more, on each board.

For maybe a week I’ve occasionally not been able to even view the boards from my iPhone. Half of the time the pop ups open a new window and tell me I won something, and half of the time it takes over my current window and I have to close it and open the page again. Then it happens again. And again. It is only when on the dis, amd I am on tons of other pages from my phone. These aren’t like regular ads, like for things I’ve been looking at or searching for recently,
which I am used to, they seem like a more malicious type trying to convince me I have a virus or need to do something to win a prize, etc... I don’t understand why it isn’t being addressed?! Telling me to figure out an ad blocker isn’t addressing it, and I don’t see why I need to figure it out when it’s only this site. I’ve read about it on so many threads I followed that I finally came over here to post.

These are becoming overwhelming now!!!! Took me 3 times just to type this!!! I can’t touch anything anymore without these popping up!

It super sucks! I'm not going to look at it anymore on my phone. It is just too annoying.

BUT, I'm super sad about bc that's how I get through the day!

Try that Norton Ad Blocker. Works great on my iPhone and iPad.

I'm hoping the upgrade this weekend helps!

DIS Board Update This Saturday, 5/25/19

 

[Smrtalec33]

I downloaded the free Ad Guard app for my iphone, and have not had a single pop-up since. I was getting tons before that.

 

[DIS_MIKE]

Just wanted to report that even with the latest update to the forums, I am still getting pop ups.

Apparently my Mac has multiple viruses.

 

[MinnieMSue]

I quit having problems before the upgrades (didn’t have any Saturday morning anyway) and haven’t so far today since the boards have come back but I have only been on a few minutes today so far. Hopefully it is done

 

[DIS_MIKE]

The majority of the pop ups occurred on my iPad so i have yet to try that out- post upgrade.

 

[PPFlight75]

Since the upgrade, I haven't had any (yet) on my phone or computer. Fingers crossed!

 

[houseofmouse5]

I kept getting the pop up on my iPad too. I'm relieved it isn't only me.
I haven't tried on my iPad since the upgrade. I hope it is resolved.

banners across the top so half my screen is unreadable.

not impressed by the upgrade, its made the site virtually unusable.

I get constant redirects daily now to this site even clearing history/ catche hasn't solved, virus and malware scan shows nothing, uninstall apps hasn't worked. Android phone https://us.onlinemobigifts.com/us/s...ous-alligator&type=NON-ADULT&carrier=Verizon#

Same here. This site is definitely losing me.

No way I believe DIS wasn’t in control or could control those pop ups.

Now miraculously pop ups are gone but there are so many ads on the thread pages it’s difficult to find the thread!

Disappointed is DIS.

 

[sethschroeder]

It's crazy how bad it is. A few ads on a page I don't mind but malicious redirects are unacceptable especially when those redirects force you to close the tab because you can't even go back as they lock your phone down.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I was having problems before the upgrade, but (knock on wood) I'm all good now!!

 

[chicagodisneyguy]

It happened on my phone before and now after the update. Kinda shocked in today's age it hasn't been fixed

 

[DIS_MIKE]

I am still getting them as well and it is frustrating.
