Competition Pop ups from this site

Sat Jan 07, 2023 11:27 am

Is anyone else have problems with pop ups from this site recently. Roughly once in every 3 / 4 times I click on a thread my browser diverts away from this site to a fake BT competition site . When I go back it then goes back to another fake competition site so I have to close the window down completely and start again. Not sure if there is anything I can do with my settings . Accessing the site via google app on a recent version of iPhone

This site is pretty difficult to use on my phone. Page jumps around a lot whenever you open a new page - I'm constantly clicking things I don't want to. Get quite a lot of pop ups as well. My phone blocks them but I always get a message to say its been blocked which is annoying.

I use an Android phone and it's fine. There are two versions of the site you can use on your phone.
Far better than Mike's site, not full of raving lefties on here, who preach tolerance then try getting you banned for "wrong think" the moment you air an opinion

Cheers Annis . If it helps the problem seems to have gone once I logged out of my account and logged back in ( not selecting - log me in automatically) .

Agree Ely , certainly wasn’t knocking the content . I gave up Mikes Board about 20 years ago and was using the Valley Rams one at the time . Once that died a death I joined this board in the first month or so after inception have have enjoyed reading since .

In the last few days I have had the issue on an Android Phone.

Have my blockers in place but a fee get through. You know when the virus is coming as the index randomly scrolls to the bottom.

It's shocking at the moment. It was bad last week but seems to be even worse today. Its almost making the site unusable.
