I visit a lot of various sites, but this one is in fact the one I enjoy the most and spend the most time. I get more bugs and redirects saying I won some sort of gift card and it shuts me down and I have to close out the window on my mobile device and reopen it. I had the same problem with android when I used an android devices before I switched to apple several months ago. I personally think this site has way way too many ads, I think the ads are causing the problems. I know its nice to make money and I am grateful for the site but come on man!! this needs to be fixed. I enjoy waking up every morning without even getting out of bed and grabbing my ipad and surfing the latest threads right here. again I am thankful to come here but this needs to be fixed and its been a problem for a long time.
oh and PS, I also had tons of trouble here before I switched to chrome with ad blocker on my desktop, AGAIN TOO DAMN MANY ADS!!!! I know how you feel. It was the same way for me until i put ad blocker on my iphone, problem solved. I don’t know why it isn’t working for you.

iPhone 8S and iPad Air with ad block and always get the horse chit redirects to prizes and such. Sometimes like right now I am using Firefox and it’s not giving me trouble but sometimes Firefox does it too. It’s been like this for years, sometimes it’s unusable and sometimes I can go through several threads before it happens. Pretty frustrating for sure as this is the only forum that this happens to me on. Have you turned/enabled Adblock Plus in your iPhone settings?

That is irrelevant because it is not in our control. Your use of the software that works, the exact software that works, is the only thing in your control. Too me, in the time it has taken since your first post you could have tried multiple solutions that have been presented. Have you tried the $1.99 paid version of the Apple adblocker? Have you tried the Dolphin browser?

why not remove all ads from the site and bring them back one at a time till we see which ones cause the problems? Why not pull your head out of your ass instead of asking someone to jump through hoops to take car of something 100% in your control? You do know that ads geneate revenue for the person who owns the site, right?
A wise man is frequently humbled.

I visit the site on a 6 year old MacBook Air, and have no problems. I did get Adblock when the annoying Chevrolet advertisements started popping up though, and no problems since then.

I see this problem too on my iPhone and iPad, but not on my MacBook when using comcast as the ISP for my LAN. Turn WiFi off on the iPhone and the problem goes away. So the "You won..." pop up bug/virus looks to be comcast ISP related. It does render this forum unusable. Don't mind the ads too much, the site has to pay for itself. BUT the persistent bottom of page pop-up (Chevy Silverado) as I type, has GOT TO GO!

Look, dumba$$, nobody like ads, but they are what pay for free Internet sites. If you can't tolerate them, only look at stuff you pay for yourself.

The Chevy ad was annoying. Have adblock plus on all my apple devices and don't have any issues with redirects, popups or ads.

Ok, I pad I phone user here. My ad blocker in my settings is enabled, still have had issues. Is ad block plus a app? Dolphin browser, is it a app that will work on Apple products. If so, Im to use this instead of safari? Im not concerned about your ads, you guys need and deserve to get paid for this forum, I’m just looking for a fix for me.
