The pop-ups are making this forum near unusable

On mobile only. The ads now take up a full or half of the screen and pop up every time I click on a new page. It's getting ridiculous.

Do you click the upward arrow/carrot thing to collapse the ad?

I agree though, the ads on this site are ridiculous.

Yes but it's annoying to have to do it on every page.

It used to be only the 1/5th of the page which also it was annoying as I had to click the arrow to see the notifications bell. Now I get half screen by default (2 clicks) and sometimes I get full screen too.

Get an adblock app for your phone. This is not an issue I have with my phone, because my phone has an adblocker. Which is what you should get. An adblocker. It'll block ads.

Maybe I'm a luddite but don't ad-blockers on Android require rooting the phone?

I have no idea, I use an Apple iPhone. I just assumed you could get "adblock" from whatever your version of the app store is.

And I thought Android was the freedom, iPhone was the pain!

What is the name of the App @chaosapiant?

It works like a charm! Wow! It’s like a different site now, a better site!

I use the Duck Duck Go browser and never get ads.

 

[AncientMariner_Essex]

I can’t use an ad blocker on my iPhone as it’s also used as my work phone and an ad blocker stops some of my work apps opening properly.

Pain in the backside as the ads on this site are just full blown ridiculous now. I hope the mods are all Rich now from the ad revenue as they better be after making me put up with this

 

[Mosh]

Only one person on this site sees any ad revenue.

When browsing on a desktop or laptop, there are no issues, especially when the browser is equipped with an ad blocker like uBlock Origin.
But when browsing a forum on an iPad or iPhone with Safari as the default browser, pop-ups often keep appearing, which significantly affects the simple navigation and user experience, as I have to close individual pop-ups.
