When I’m clicking a thread title to view the thread I’m getting pop up ads as the thread page loads. It’s happening on both iOS and iPadOS, intermittently . Just thought I’d let you know.

Pop up adverts are back
- Thread starter Plant0x84
- Start date
Happened to me once
Back with a vengeance I'd say, all over the place for me on whatever the hell I'm on Samsung internet maybe ?
Had this twice today on my phone. Using Chrome on Android.
Yep, getting it was well. Very annoying.
Got any examples / screenshots?
Is it happening in particular pages? E.g. homepage, thread page etc

Got them every time I used the site on my phone today, absolute pain in the arse.
Do they allow you to reply?
They seem to be happening at random, when you click to enter a thread you get hit with an ad first which takes up the entire screen which you then have to click a little x in the corner before it lets you into the thread. I’ve had it numerous times throughout the day. It’s only started today for me.
Yeah got about three or four at this stage.
I got twice so far on entering new thread.
It’s just happened again. I was following a link from my alerts menu. I’ve taken a screenshot, will find a way to host and add it shortly
Yeah I’ve had it five or six times today too.
Had 3 or 4 today aswell. Really annoying, and if they were to be intended i’d suggest you reconsider. Would be a serious hindrance to my use of the forum. Don’t have any screenshots, but can provide if they persist.
Same for me
mainly when I clicked on a thread but appeared on main page also

I've seen it randomly on a few pages but not every time when entering a thread, not see on home page
Edit: this was on 2 different Windows laptops

Same. Pretty in your face.
This is definitely not intended so apologies for this.
I need to know specifically what pages are you seeing these on so I can figure out what's going on? Does it ever happen when you're viewing a thread or is it only on pages like the homepage, forum list page, thread list page?

When you click on a thread, but not every time. The funny thing is it always seems to do it on this thread.
That's nice and up to date! That exhibition closed four years ago. So not only is it annoying, but it's misleading.
So for example if you’re on the homepage thread list as soon as you click to view this thread you see it?
What happens when you close the ad - does it require you to click again to view the thread or are you already in the thread at that point?
It's happened a couple of times this morning, like others it's quite random and happens when clicking to enter a thread.
I normally use new posts to list the threads, when I choose one from there and click to enter it, it opens the ad, when I click close on the ad it goes straight into the thread.
EDIT I have opened about 20 threads this morning but it has only happened twice.
Yep exactly that. Then when you close it you are in the thread.
Ok I’ve made some changes. Let me know if it’s still happening.
Literally just got one for Succession (on NowTV I think it was). It was a big fecker as well, almost full screen, I was ready to grab some popcorn.
Yep, had it all day yesterday and today on both my phones so knew it wasn't just some dody shit happening on one of them
Ok I’ve made a further change.
Please let me know if that makes any difference.

I take it silence means it’s not happening anymore?
Happened a bunch for me too this morning on entering threads on my iPhone.
Hasn't happened to me so far today.
I never have this issue, I‘m using DuckDuckGo.
It isn't happening any more for me. Cheers Niall.
Was happening pretty frequently yesterday (about 50% of the time) but hasn't happened at all today so looks to be fixed from where I'm sat.
