Anyone getting insane amounts of pop ups?

[Summer2018]

It just happened to me on my work desktop computer for the first time...a Verizon ad, and we have extremely strong security.
Up until now, this ridiculousness only happened on my iPhone.
I like to check in on my lunch break, but if this is going to occur, I guess I won’t be able to do that.

I have chrome with ad blocker on and never see this pop up.

likewise until Monday -- now it doesn't matter!

Same here. But I only access DISboards via my laptop. Rarely I've tried to on my phone (not recently, however), but using my phone is incredibly slow, so I just stick with my laptop.

The top 5 threads in this forum all concern this to some extent with some threads dating back to May.

I was having this issue constantly awhile back and then it went away, and now it's back. Tonight I actually had an application installation file download without my permission/knowledge and then I was redirected to a page that told me that my antivirus software "expired" today. This is ridiculous.

Make sure to vote for your favorite popup spam parameters.

IT'S GETTING WORSE

Now it happens on Chrome on a desktop.

@WebmasterAlex, @WebmasterCorey, @WebmasterDoc, @WebmasterJackie, @WebmasterJohn, @WebmasterKathy , @WebmasterMaryJo, @WebmasterMike, @WebmasterPete. @WebmasterWill This site is 100% unusable like this.

The DIS is unusable with all the popups. Why can't the ITs fix this?

 

[Twitterpaited]

When I try to open a forum on my computer through Chrome, Internet explorer keeps breaking through with a survey and an entry to win a Walmart gift card. It only seemed to happen on your site, so just wanted to let you know.

FYI - There are a bunch of threads about this and the response has been criquets from the people that should be fixing it.

I have been getting the same crapola on my phone I finally went Safari and adjusted my Content Blocker (AdGuard) and it seems to be gone.

 

[robinb]

I would add an adblocker to Chrome to fix this for you. I use Chrome on my PC and I don’t get that hijack.

I am noticing the same

The only website doing this is Disboards. With all browsers!

 

[Brocktoon]

These 'congrats' pop-ups are completly out of control! Even Chrome via incognito will not stop the pop-ups. So far the only thing that seems to work for me is running Firefox via a private window. The site is pretty much useless for me now

 

[Opie100]

The Chrome adblocker I was using on my Mac wasn't enough -- now installed AdGuard on Chrome and that seems to fix it.

I only get it on my Android phone. Help admins!
