Disruptive pop ups on mobile

enoeske · 03-27-2016, 10:23 AM

I'm getting some really disruptive pop up ads on mobile. It takes me off the page and shows a tiny add for "mobile strike ". Then redirects to another page, tells me my android is out of date. Then brings me to some page on the play store to download an unrelated app. This needs to stop.

On this site?

If so I would send Adam a PM.

If this happens when on this site, perhaps post in the Site Suggestions & Help thread. Adam monitors this & helps members.

I'm getting the same pop-up. It started about 3 days ago. If I clear cookies and my history it goes a way for a while, but eventually comes back. I last delt with it this morning. Any suggestions? Oh...never get it when on other sites.

I'm not aware of any changes made to the mobile site.

Just opened the site on my phone, and one of the google ads was a banner for mobile strike, but this should never be a pop up. I've blocked that ad URL as a precaution.

I had the issue a couple of days ago. A popup told me something like "you Android system has expired." or is out of date, mabe. Something along those lines.
