You beat me to it! I was just on my Samsung Galaxy using Chrome when in less than 1 minute I got this exact same pop-up sequence.

Just another stupid ad. The IB folks are apparently aware of it. I'm not in the know of what is actually happening for it, but I hear it's being worked on.

IB is going to disable one of their ad partners to see if any fixes can be made. I tried using the forum multiple times this weekend and got popups within 10 seconds each time I tried... so I just gave up.


I promise, it's being worked on.

It's clear that the management of this forum is trying to get the maximum possible ads planted until the users get disgusted and go elsewhere. There're so many click baits that you feel like you're walking through a mine field. It's like driving down a scenic highway that has the view almost completely blocked by billboards.
