Pop up adds on forum - Read here

[AB]

Hi folks,

We have had a couple of members mention they are seeing pop ups on the forum.

We do not have pop up adds on here.

There may be some banner adds which have a pop up if you leave your mouse cursor over the banner add for a certain period of time but you would know this and the members who have asked are sponsors so you shouldn't be seeing any adds anyway.

There are some malware out there that show pop up adds on only certain websites which makes you think it is only happening on certain sites.

If you are experiencing this please download the free Malwarebytes, run that and get back to me.

Stropp, Westy and anyone else that is experiencing this.

A sure sign is links in words for example :There may be some banner adds which have a pop up if you leave your mouse cursor over the banner add for a certain period of time but you would know this and the members who have asked are sponsors so you shouldn't be seeing any adds anyway.

See how show is a different color, if you move your mouse over it a popup will appear, something like that is malware for sure

I am on my iPad and it won't let me download the program?

[Covo71]

I am not sure about pop ups but it is just when you scroll the add just keeps flashing. Pretty annoying.

Pc or phone I pad, etc?

When you scroll down do the existing top banners flash or?

[Covo71]

On an iPad. When you move screen up when reading the banner at the bottom moves up and flashes on and off. Hope that helps. Won't stop me from getting the forum though.

[AB]

Just double checking.

Is this using an app like like forum runner or using the safari browser or any internet browser in your iPads?

Yep safari mate, mine is the same, when you scroll it just keeps flashing the banner but when you stop it just sits there.

... they might need a box of them at this rate

Using Safari, and only when on the forum. All the other open safari tabs are fine.

[lhurley]

Is your iPad up to date with the latest updates?

Sometimes they put in bug fixes and fix up security issues.

Fwiw I'm on my iPhone typing this and I don't have any pop up adds or flashing banners. Using safari too

[Winnie]

I'll check with my iPad tonight when I get home from work, I don't think I've ever viewed the forum through Safari on it.
Actually I use Chrome on the iPad rather than Safari anyway, so I'll check both! Sounds like it might be a Safari thing.

Running the latest update on iPad and they still appear. Only appear on the Nissan Forum, checked two other forums and no adds.

If people are getting this on the pc or laptop there is ad blocker add-ons or programs you can download for free. I use Firefox on all pc's and laptops and I use Adblock plus with great results.

Are you using Motorculture to view the forum? Or using a web browser?
In MC I get a ad down the bottom of the screen but have never bothered with it....

[Rocket55]

On my iPad the pop ups are intermittent. When was reading this thread they were present whilst on the first page but then dissapeared when moved to the second page. I have noticed this also on other threads, although not necessarily always clean on the second page. It does vary from page to page. Sometimes they are on the "New post" page, sometimes not.

[AB]

I'll fire up the iPad tonight and have a look folks.

[Winnie]

Hey mate, I checked on chrome and safari on my ipad and the ad showed up on both

[NissanGQ4.2]

I checked this on Android last night and had no issues, must be an apple thing

Can someone get a screen shot of this ad that's appearing and post it up here please

[AB]

Hey mate, I checked on chrome and safari on my ipad and the ad showed up on both back home and iPad is flat...lol

On charge give me an hour

[AB]

Righto.

Its a problem with iOS on Ipad displaying the bottom advert.

Leave it with me folks.

[AB]

Has this stopped it anyone?

[Winnie]

Has this stopped it anyone?

Yeah mate, fixed!!

[jack]

Fixed, thanks AB

[Rocket55]

Not fixed for me, still the same, with the ad bouncing around down the bottom of the page. Running 8.3

Flashing banner back when you a thread to read. Sorry, thought it was gone.

I just had two pop up windows open while on this site.
One was "ShopanudrOp" and the other "CooolSaleCouppon"
I blocked them using a program, I hope it keeps them blocked.
