i JUST HAD THIS POP UP xml.plainmedia.com with a warning from AVAST from HTML:RedirME-inf (Trj).

This could be the culprit needs to be checked.

Just "upgraded" to a new ipad yesterday and cannot use FT on it because every time I go to any forum page there is a fake Amazon popup. Have tried all sorts of tinkering with settings but to no avail.

When the popup comes up, the address bar changes to norwegianreward.top. The only way out is to close the tab.

same here.

One for desktop and one for mobile browsers which I didn’t notice until now and I’ve been posting on the wrong one.

Probably so they can split the complaints in half to make it look like they're actually doing something.

Wow I didn't even notice that -- so was I! Thanks!

But reading previous posts looks like I wasn't the only one. These threads should be merged.

Does FT really need ads running for things like Xiaflex. No screen print but went to Omni and the ad across top of the page discusses a mans medical condition involving curves of greater than 30 degrees.

Not sure what is going on with FT but certainly seems to be headed in the wrong direction.

If experience bad mobile ads, and If using Chrome on your mobile device, try:


Load chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture in the browser's address bar.

Switch the status of the "Framebusting requires same-origin or a user gesture" experimental flag from default to enabled.

Restart the Chrome browser.

framebusting setting fixed my 2 devices

I don't want to know what you've been googling.

Nothing that would have pulled an add like that. Seems IB allows ads of all kinds. That's the problem not what I've googled.

I find all these ads disruptive, years ago when these board and community was established we never had this type of B.S. I am getting all typs of please wait connecting to some bullsheet site to get the next disruptive add.

The new ads with sound are pretty darn disruptive! Do those count? And are they permitted? They certainly aren't by me. I started boycotting CNN over this issue and never looked back. Are we supposed to only read Flyertalk on mute now?

They are not permitted -- can you send a screenshot please?

So you can print it and hang it up in the office so everyone can laugh about it? We all know nothing is going to be done about it.
