Pop ups on iPhone?!!?

[Jokerette]

Is anyone else getting pop-up ads that bring them to the iTunes app store when they view BNB on their iPhone? It just started happening to me this week it's so annoying

If you can post a screenshot of these ads this would help our technical team

I'll try! Sometimes it happens so fast that it quickly redirects me to the App Store for silly games!

Here's one... Sometimes it will then automatically take me to random apps in the iTunes Store

And this one happened so fast it suddenly opened the Ap Store

How frequently is this occurring?

Hi Wobbles, thanks for following up. It's happening just about everytime I go onto BNB... or anytime I open up a subscribed thread. So for my thats about 10 times a day at least.

I noticed the pop ups seem to be for the those little games like "Farmville" or "Candycrush", then they sometimes close the BNB page and bring me to the iphone Ap store, so i lose my place on BNB.

When i switched to mobile view that fixed the issue. However, I prefer to not use mobile view because i like to see the whole website, like the "View last unread" button etc, even when on my phone

Hi, this has been happening to me as well. This weekend it seemed like it was happening every other time I refreshed the site for any reason (going to the next page in a thread, etc). I'll see if I can get a screenshot as well.

It's happening on Android as well. Almost every time I'm on here, something will pop up and take me to the Google Play store.

I'm glad im not the only one... but i wish it wasnt happening at all!

Thank you for the additional information ladies, most helpful. My apologies for any disruption this caused over the weekend. I have now sent a report to the ad team.

This is an app that it brings me to a lot

The offending ad should now be disabled. Let me know if you have any more problems.
