Default Malware on mobile

Do the moderators of this forum ever use the mobile version? The constant pop ups and fake “you won an amazon gift card” crap makes the site useless. It’s been going on so long the forum owner must be getting a cut from all of the malware installs from the unlucky folks that click the links.

Check your device for a Trojan or malware on your browser. What virus protection do you have?

The mobile is all I use and I don’t see anything. I use Malwarebytes.

Avoiding this forum until this kind of thing is cleaned up.
This should not happen and it’s not about the mobile browser it’s about sloppy coding.
Not worth it. I don’t have this issue on other forums.
This forum has had this issue on and off for years which tells me it’s not being addressed properly, whether it’s a lack of updates or some other security flaws.
Hopefully it’s get worked out.
Bye until then.

I’m running iOS, it’s not my phone, it’s this site, and only on mobile.
