Default Spot Tracker Pop Up Ad

This annoying Spot tracker pop up ad makes me for certain that I will never buy any of their products. This type of in your face advertising is ridiculous. It appears at random all over the front of my page. Any way to make the ad go away? You can't disable pop up ads on an IPad to my knowledge.

I have an iPad mini and same ad pops up all the time. One of the many reasons I won't buy another i product, phone or pad.

You guys should figure out how to turn off the ads before you start bitching about something that is so easy to fix.

Why don't you enlighten us oh wise one. And if you say go to settings, safari, and turn on the setting that says " block pop up ads" it is already turned on and I still get this spot tracker ad.

I understand this site needs to sell Add Space; I'm OK with it. However the pop-up in question runs down the middle of my screen and does not offer the X to close it. They should be able to set some basic requirements when soliciting advertisers. As opposed to educating ALL our sites users on how to block the adds.

Agreed. I don't mind the pop ups that you can close as they do help the site and occasionally one will interest me that I actually click on. What is annoying about this one is that there is no way to close it and like you said, it's right in the middle of your screen.

I use an app named "AddBlock for IOS" on my ipad for this forum. Used to get dozens of pop ups, haven't seen one since I started using this app to access the site last year. Can't recall if it was free but couldn't have been more than $5 if anything. Its basically its own browser window, don't need to use safari.

I have tried several adblockers. They don't work for my android phone.
