NOTE: the 2019 thread can be found here.

PLEASE POST SCREENSHOTS of the FULL SCREEN and report your DEVICE TYPE, OPERATING SYSTEM, BROWSER TYPE AND VERSIONS, and COUNTRY where you are browsing from in your post.This thread is strictly for the reporting of disruptive ads, including unwanted popups, page hijscks, malware attempts, etc. related to ad content on your MOBILE devicePlease refrain from discussion or speculation about technical issues if they are not reports as specified here.

Please see post #132 for further reading on this ongoing publishing industry issue (it's not just FlyerTalk) https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/29310693-post132.html

We understand disruptive advertisements lessen the enjoyment of your FlyerTalk browsing experience. Please post all disruptive advertisement reports here; your full report (see above) will assist Internet Brands / FlyerTalk in handling these expeditiously. Admin / Tech attempts to respond to all reports speedily, but eliminating problem adverts may require communication with advertisements suppliers or devising technical solutions that may require time. (Internet Brands operates during customary and usual work hours on the U. S. West Coast; holidays, weekends, etc. are observed.)

To see how to include a screen shot in your post, once you have taken the screen shot follow the instructions "Inserting a photo or image from your device into a post:" in the first post in the thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/techn...mage-post.html

NOTE: Internet Brands and FlyerTalk discourage the use of software that modifies your FlyerTalk browsing experience (e.g. ad blocking software). IB / FT declines all responsibility for the use of such software and can not provide support or assistance if such software is used. As well, we remind you IB / FT can only provide FlyerTalk free to members because of the financial support of advertisers; using ad blockers denies IB / FT income that would normally pay for your free community membership and browsing experience..

Posts advocating, suggesting, or recommending use of ad blocking etc. software will be summarily deleted.

The mobile skin may look fine on a phone but on a 12“ iPad Pro it looks terrible and I don‘t want to use it. Surely it‘s not rocket science to correctly position windows on a screen. The crashing problem has gone since I activated the AdBlocker, so that stays too.

I’ve gotten two more of the Amazon popup ads today. Heres a pic of the web address. Address seems different each time.

This morning, once again. Nobody else? Usually when I click on a topic in a new thread.

I primarily use a browser with OK native ad blocking. FT asked me to disable this, which I was happy to do (for a short while). However, FT has not seen fit to protect me from the Amazon scam, which not only locks the tab I have FT open in - but all tabs! I have to kill and restart my browser to continue on.

I have to say that this toxic mix of indifference and incompetence is jarrring. No more ads for FT on any of my machines nor in any of my browsers.

And another one. What's more annoying than disruptive ads? Being disrupted for an add that itself cannot be displayed because it has been disrupted...

Amazon $1000 gift card popup has happened twice today already. It’s too bad you can’t fix this in a timely fashion.

Here’s the web address of the ad.
