Default Amazon Spam?!

Anyone else having problems with being redirected to a BS amazon spam survey website on this website? It just started a week ago for me and I’ve had enough. It only does it on this website and I even have my pop up blocker turned on. I can’t even view the threads for more than 5 minutes without it happening. I’m surprised I got this thread out.

Has been happening to me for almost a week now. When you try to click out if it, you get booted off line. Only happens when I'm on my cell phone though! Starting to **** me off cause I can't figure out how to stop it!

It’s been doing it on this site for a few months. I’ve seen a couple other forums that have had the issue as well.

Hasnt done it to me in a while on here.

Use the mobile app if you're on mobile.

When I use the app on my phone I get ads that'll be half covering a post on the bottom. Trying to close the ad doesn't do anything.
My tablet and PC work perfectly fine. All the settings are geared to not allowing pop-up's, on all of them.
The phone and my tablet are Android. The phone is running Oreo 8.0 and the the tablet is Nougat 7.0. My PC is windows.

I have this problem on multiple sites using my iPad. On this forum if I turn off my JavaScript option in the settings under safari then advanced it is yet to happen. Other sites I have to have javascript enabled in order to use the site so I basically can’t surf from my iPad or iPhone. Just had my hip replaced so a real *** ache since I can’t easily use my desktop right now. Whoever put this nasty virus or whatever it is sucks monkey sack, really blows that two clicks into a site and you have to close the session.

It is simply due to a crappy ad network serving it. Lenn has discussed it a few times...
