Default Kill the bloatware.

There's already so much junk running on this site that I can hardly log on sometimes and now I get freakin pop-up ad junk on my phone too?
Y'all gotta be kidding with that crap? No wonder FB pages are killing forums...the forums these days load up with so much click bait **** you can hardly use them.
Get rid of it....it's just pissing your members off and driving them elsewhere.

I get this frequently and have to close my browser to get rid of it. ANNOYING! I only get this while in the forum, so it's not malware.

Does it happen on anymore websites? You may have that junk installed on your phone from another website, I do not get that on my iphone, I do not use the app either. I like good old web for me.

I get all that crap on my iPhone and the virus protection stuff at work gives this website in general a Warning rating.
These big company owned sites solely exist to generate income so they load them up with anything that will earn a penny.

Discussed many times. This is due to crappy advertising being allowed on the forum. It is NOT a forum user issue.

It's also not bloatware because it's not installed on the device.

True dat. Whatever you call it, it's annoying.

And I agree with you and have voiced it to the higher-ups far too many times for me to count.
