Forward the image to tech. This only effects the mobile template. A permanent fix is coming but right now, all fixes are band aids. Sorry bud. It’s gotten MUCH better than what it was a week ago but it’s not perfect.

Well honestly, it only happens once every few days. No need to be sorry, I know you guys are working on it.

I thought you left already?

Well, I read all 9 pages of this. I can honestly say I never get this stuff like some of y'all do.

I read the site on a Mac, iPad and sometimes iPhone for 2 years now. I do not us ad blocking stuff. It's always a non instrusive experience for me.

That's the one I always get. It has something to do with touching the bottom of the screen. Android 7, full site.

I dont know about others, but it has gotten worse for me over the past several days. Mine are all the amazon ones, and is frequent enough right now to make the mobile unusable - but wondering if I just visited the full site if that would bypass it? I have never seen the issue on my PC.

EDIT>>> tried visiting mobile site immediately after posting, and bam, got the popup, before I could even try to get to the full site.

I got the amazon one while trying to reply to you. Yes, the full site is immune to this issue. There will be some experemtation to see if this can be fixed later this week. Keep your fingers crossed!Keep posting screen shots of the ads with the URL showing. We are blocking them as they come up.

Thanks Lenn... Good to know that the full site is immune - for now I will just go that route from the iPhone until this thing gets shot. Not as easy to read, but I have been there for a few minutes now, and it is better than the persistent pop ups.

Hi folks. These new ads are easily the worst ad problem I've seen in my time at Internet Brands (4+ years now). It's a difficult fix because basically every single publisher on the internet that posts content online is getting these ads leaking through on mobile devices without easy, actionable solutions to them.

Our business teams are just as baffled and frustrated as everybody else and we are looking to implement some extreme tactics this week just to test our own theories, but again---they're just theories.
