Thank yourself lucky you're not getting the porn pop ups! I don't know what on earth I've looked at/read to make that happen but some really graphic stuff is coming up. It's horrible, just shown Dh as don't think he believed me! I've got an under 18 block thing on my phone too to stop stuff like that

You should definitely send me this information via PM with a screenshot please hun. x

I get them all the time!

Ads or graphic ads? x

Just FYI some of our ads are Google which means they show ads according to your internet activity and not placed by us but we will certainly look into it if not the case

I'll screenshot it and pm you next time it happens. It's definitely not from my search history! Do you want the other random ones too or just the graphic ones?

I've been on holiday ... my eyes were mostly zoomed in on your message if I'm honest.

Will keep an eye on updates regarding the other ad but you should be able to select close or x and it be gone. Just catching up x

Just got this twice as I tried to read this thread from my phone. It wouldn't let me post so then I come on my iPad and got another pop up video! From Poland springs and I've never in my life searched for them so it's not based on my internet searches.

That make sense although I've never looked up target on my phone before It wouldn't be so annoying if we could just click out of it but this one you have to hit play, watch the video and then it gives you the x out option.

Thanks hun

I'll switch over and take a look, hopefully it will reoccur for me and I'll get into the tech team straight away.

Any information between on the ads will help
Ad brand/shop
Why it's disruptive

*Each ad could be different (reoccurring, won't close, inappropriate) so we can locate the issue.

After you have watched the video did it pop up again?
How frequently?
Was sound muted?

I am still getting it on my phone too . The only relief I get is when I use my computer which blocks all scripting and ads.
I end up having to press the back button on my phone to get rid of the add which results in me losing the page I was on sometimes.

Just got it again. Same target video. Seems to go twice in a row. It popped up the first time have to wait like 8 or 10 seconds while the video played before the close out x appeared. No sound that time. Second time I was already on a page and zoomed in to read and it popped again (not even 10 seconds after the first one) same time wait and that one had sound.

Yea yesterday it popped up twice in a row within 15 seconds. Sound is always on though. It's been the Target ad (screenshot on first page) every time.

I also got a subway sandwich shop ad that I couldnt find the x to So so I had use the back button to get it to go away.
Thanks for your help!

 

[KylasBaby]

And again. Still the target video. Twice in a row. This time no sound. I believe the video has to play for 8 seconds before the close out x appears.

The ads are basically making the site unusable on my phone right now, to the point where I'm looking for a different site so I have a way to journal on the go. I have difficulty loading the target video when I'm not on Wi-Fi, and there's no other way to back out of it, so I either have to refresh and hope it doesn't pop up or stop browsing altogether. When it does load, it's still difficult to exit out since it registers a click on the link under the ad.

I got a target pop up, managed to register a click under it, and it loaded the next page as I was typing. It's popping up every couple of pages, sometimes every one in a row.
