It seems to be getting so bad, I can’t hardly get enough time to read a post before it pops up on my iPhone.
This issue is related to abuses by developers that found a hole in JS, not sure if that’s what is happening or if there is something bad on ScubaBoards back end. Either way it’s pretty annoying.
Quite possibly and likely an issue with iOS as well, I’d be interested to know if anyone with an android phone is experiencing it.
I suspect it has something to do with one or more of the ads that are being delivered by the site. I installed AdBlock on my iOS iPad and with no ads being displayed, I have not seen any Pop-Ups. If I turn off AdBlocker and ads start being delivered, it does not take long before the Pop-Ups return.
I honestly prefer not to disable the ads as that is revenue generation for ScubaBoard, but one or more of the adds being served seem to cause the problem. No Ads...no Pop-Ups.
I have faith that all these pesky peddlers will be CRUSHED!!! And then five minutes after that a new scam will pop up.
But on the bright side, we never get religious evangelical doorbell ringers anymore, so some things do get better.
Man, I haven't seen a pop up ad in 2 years. Firefox on a mac with Adblock.
I also haven't seen Bloomberg or Forbes, and I have subscriptions to both. But even with a subscription, they want me to see the ads...
