Default What's up with the pop ups

This is getting ridiculous. You can't even navigate from page to page without a verizon add you have to click off of.

If this wasn't the best lsx site out there......

Are you both speaking of the mobile theme, mobile app or full-desktop?

Mobile app / theme. On my iPhone it is littered with pop ups. I really can't get passed two threads without a pop up add and getting redirected from the site. I don't even bother with the site on my phone.

On my desktop and iPad it is the same ls1tech I love..

Desktop has the popups too, I installed an adblocker and that solved the issue.

Desktop should not have true "pop-ups" unless the machine is infected (common) or it's a rogue ad (does happen). We'd need screen captures and some links to locate those.

Regarding the mobile pop-up ads, if we could get some screen captures of those, I'll do some checking.

Thanks.

It's not infected and the popups happened on only some sites and this was one of them.

If it's happening on other sites as you say, then it just might be infected. Have you ran a scan? If so, what do you use? The desktop version should not have true "pop-ups". You may have a different issue as the mobile theme/app is different.

Aside from that, we need to see some screen captures and links to be able to more effectively and properly investigate.

Thanks

I took the ad blocker off for this site and just started browsing around to see if anything would pop up and take the screen shot but nothing popped up, so I guess the issue was resolved already.

Thumbs up

AdBlock + on my android and computers since it came out... never a pop-up or ad. Best little extension\utility ever conceived.

What's the exact name of the app? I'm trying to find it on my S5.
