Pop up ads

[Rammy Blue]

Yeah, sorry about that. Should be sorted now hopefully?

Back again today mate, fucking pain in the arse.

I keep getting Virgin and Sky pop-ups about being a competition winner or something.

It only happens when I’m connected to WiFi and only happens on forums (I use Bluemoon-MCFC and RLFans).

I do not get these messages when I’m on any other sites.

I am on an iPhone with the iOS 12.2 update and using Safari

The ad company are trying to detect where it is coming from (obviously these particular ads aren’t authorised) but any further details you can provide (e.g iPhone or Android, 4G or WiFi etc) all help. Apologies again for the inconvenience, hopefully it’ll be sorted soon.

What fascinates me is how these companies believe that having pissed us off to such an extent that we will go out and buy or use their products!

The ad company think they've identified the ad that was causing the problem. Is anyone still experiencing issues?

Thanks mate. Any chance you could send me a screen grab if it happens again?
