I have an Android Tablet and an iPhone 6s. No popups either.

Do the adblocker you'll have a much better overall net experience, you won't believe how advertising is out there till you don't see it anymore.

I started this thread. My problem is not the ads, those have always happened from time to time.
The issue I have is the phone vibrates and says viruses are detected, it takes over my browser and I cannot get away from it. This only happens on this forum...nowhere else, and I do not look at **** on my phone. I clear my history and cookies and reset the phone then it happens again...only on this forum. It's gotten so bad that I have just about quit getting on the forum. Ad blocker did not help.

First time I have been on the forum in over a week. I typed the above post and then attempted to read my PM's and the phone vibrates and tells me I won a $1000 Walmart gift card. Couldn't get rid of it, had to clear and reset ....only on this forum

Now it wants me to install Go speed and app lock....only on this forum.
Anyone got any ideas? Love the forum, never at home so I use my phone but if I have to clear cookies, clear history and power phone on and off 5 times in 30 minutes it kinda sucks

There's a sticky on the page about pop-up ads. I have Ad Blocker Plus on my iPad and I've never seen a pop-up ad.

I am the OP. It's not actually pop ups. The phone vibrates and the browser goes to another page and either tells me that I won a Wal Mart gift card or that my phone is infected by a virus or I won a cruise... cant back out of the bogus page and it only happens on this forum, nowhere else. I have cleared browser history and cookies , even went so far as to remove my browser and then reinstall it. Still happens, and as I said it only happens on this forum.

Thats cause you are using an ipad. It doesnt do it on ipads. It does it on iPhones.
