Default Random pop-ups and redirects

Simply put, they are becoming more frequent and annoying. I've NEVER experienced this until the new site functioning update. Also, I fear this will deter others from using this site. Is there a work around, to limit, reduce, or eliminate this issue?

Mildly concerned,

Justin

When I am browsing with the mobile view I get these all the time not even clicking links or the ads. Not only done they pop up out of nowhere they are fake virus sites and ads.

I'm realizing no one(management/moderator) will acknowledge this or respond in anyway. Great support as of late... makes me want to buy a srt4

I get them too and it is being addressed behind the scenes. They stopped for about a week and a half but I got one again this morning. If anyone would like to help get rid of them, please post screenshots with a description of the device/OS and browser you're using.

Not sure it is what everyone is getting on their devices, but I keep getting annoying videos here on my laptop - almost as part of the post. In this thread alone, posts 1 & 6. Plus my typing is jumpy and words and letters are not recorded. I'm a 2 finger typer and can type faster thatthes ystem canac cept. (just an example!) I think my computer's anti-virus doesn't trust this site and is working overtime. Fear it might get unusable - just like Photobucket.

I was also hoping that I could change the look of the site. Are there any options for customizing the way the threads look on the screen.

I've been getting them as well, iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.2.0, using Safari as the browser. Does not happen when using my PC (Windows 8) using Chrome. When it happens again on my phone I will take a screenshot.
