Poll.......Anybody getting the spam 'Congratulations, you won.....!' popups??

[mckennarose]

Initially it was just on my tablet and my phone. But as of yesterday and today it is now on my laptop also. And it’s on no other sites but the dis.

Only on my iPads and happened when I first tried to add this post. It’s annoying

Maddening. I stayed away from the boards all weekend because of this intrusion.

Are we sure that the Dis team knows about this issue? Is there a way to find out? @WebmasterDoc @WebmasterJackie @Teleclashter ?

This is the only site that I have difficulty with.

They've been tagged repeatedly. They know. Their inaction clearly shows they do not care that it is so disrupting. If they cared they'd at least say sorry.

Let's be honest... assuming they're getting SOME kind of $$ from this, why fix it? Everyone complaining about it is still obviously posting, so therefore visiting the site. If posters start "voting with their wallet" and not visiting the Dis, maybe they'll make a change.

Folks won't have a choice before long. It will become impossible to visit/post. Ad Blocker got it for now but the people responsible for the ad will find a way around them, again.

Is there anything we can do to bring more attention to this?

Letter writing campaign?

Open letter to the editor?

Walk out?

Eat in?

Hunger strike?

Comment section of YouTube on the Disunplugged videos?

@Dan Murphy is there a way to reset the poll? I have to believe that the problem has really ramped up since May. I didn't start having it until last month, now I get it all the time. It would be interesting to see how it's "evolved"....

This isn't the only place. Really, not a good place, to report on it.
This issue belongs on the Tech Support board. Go there, you'll find LOTS of reports regarding it.
I mean, this is fine to complain about it among ourselves but for official reports, it is the Tech board.

Look at this,

Knock on wood, I have not had a problem on a PC yet. I've been running two ad blocker's for years though... (AdBlock and AdBlock Plus).

It’s almost constant on my iPad and iPhone now.

Get em Angi!

You've been on here a long time and I always see as an ardent Dis supporter. So reading your comments carry a lot of weight. I wish they would step in....

I guess me and everyone else, lol

So have Barbra Streisand, Jean Harlow, Nancy Grace and Daisy Duck!

I'm almost giving up on the DIS because of this.

 

[tazdev3225]

I just saw this today and I started getting them over the weekend on my laptop which is what I use 99% of the time. I just got it 3 times trying to type this response. It is annoying.

 

[wvjules]

I'm getting it on my laptop today. It was really bad last weekend on my iPad. I just gave up and played slots. lol

 

[Moliphino]

I haven't had any issues on my home or work laptops, but it's driving me nuts on my phone.

 

[WebmasterKathy]

Our tech wizards are working on the issue.

 

[AngiTN]

Finally! Great update

 

[luvmarypoppins]

I can barely post because of this constant issue.

 

[Darcy03231]

I'm on a PC and have had issues all day. 1st time today I've been able to get on.
