Not this specifically, but not long ago there were some very noisy ads that popped up on here when I logged in on my iMac. PITA going through 12-15 tabs of threads you've lined up to read trying to figure out where the racket is coming from...

I've seen this on quite a few websites - including my own. Seems to be from a dodgy ad.

The use of ad blocking software is strongly discouraged by Internet Brands and FlyerTalk. Doing so essentially voids any support from IB / FT for issues you might be having, and it eliminates the major source of income that keeps FT free to members.
Bringing troublesome or rogue ads appearing during your FlyerTalk experience to the attention of Admin / Tech can help all members and enable IB / FT to remedy issues with the advertisements providers or make adjustments to eliminate specific advertisements.
Posts suggesting or discussing ad blocking software will be summarily deleted.

I'm sure it's been raised before, but an ad-free paid membership is something I think would see considerable demand.
Even more from the last several minutes. Still iPhone 6s Plus/iOS 10.1.1/Safari/USA.

Bogus "Chrome Update" page loads with FT
After clicking on thread link, a new Chrome tab appeared with a bogus "Chrome Update" page.
