Pop ups on FoxesTalk

[dayday]

Driving me mad, every time I go on a thread, a pop up comes saying I can win a phone, how do I stop this?, never use to happen.

[Buce]

There was an identical post yesterday. Not sure where it’s gone - maybe forum support?

[Mark]

Please post a screenshot of this when it happens

[Kopic]

First time I've had this issue, was just now reading the stadium expansion topic and got this nice selection of amazing offers.

never had any issues until now. Happend numerous times today. @Mark something to do with server change?

@Mark seems to be getting worse for me. Almost every time I click any thread. 2 attempts to post this comment alone. I got a couple of tiny glimpses of the advert I think is doing it. Its pink and for a website called light in the box .com

 

edit- and I've done the usual clearing cookies, cache etc.

Have you got an image of that? I had got told about half an hour ago it was sorted

[Mark]

I'll turn the advert off that I think is causing it for now

It redirects me far too quickly to screenshot it, but it seems to be that same advert every time. I'll keep trying but because of where the advert is positioned on the page, by the time I scroll down to it its already popping up. Just took me 5 re-openings of the browser to reply to you haha.

I'm on a galaxy s8 using chrome.

 

@Markseems to be ok at the minute but saying that I now dont have any mid-thread adverts. Pretty sure it was that pink advert i mentioned above as I got glimpses of it multiple times before i got bombarded with spam.

Been getting this today for the first time in months, the fake google ad saying I have won something. Clearing cookies and browsing history seems to stop it for me, which is weird however as I only ever get this on foxestalk.

@Mark The video ads in threads that pop up and then don’t clear off your screen without scrolling around until the X appears are really on a mobile device making the site pretty unusable and like trying to navigate the Mercury website! (Which nobody does anymore.)
