Default Really enjoying the site BUT bogus pop-ups

I joined a few weeks ago and enjoy checking in on the discussions using my iPhone SE. But what keeps happening is I get redirected to some offer for a 100 dollar gift card from amazon. Has this happened to anyone and how did you fix it. Thanks!

I've had that happen too occasionally when on my iPhone. I just exit out and go back in, I have the site saved as one of "favorites" (lol).

If I'm on my macbook, I don't have any pop-ups, same with when I log in at work occasionally which is a windows laptop.

Clearly, I'm not a paying member here (yet), but so far no problems. I used to have that pop up issue though on the S2ki.com forums, but being a paying member was a bonus for me where it all went away.

Are you SURE you're logged into the site as a member? If not, and you're viewing as a guest, you'll get pop-ups.

I’m logged in as a member. The real annoying thing is you need to close the web page and go back in. It would be better if a little x in the corner of the advert was there so you could just dismiss it.

Same here, have an iPhone and happens every time I am on this site. It happens regardless if I am logged in or not. It is just this site as I don’t get that annoying Amazon pop-up on any other site. I have cleared browsing history many times. Not sure if something is wrong with my iPhone or this site. Please let me know if any fixes to this super annoying problem.

Thanks all - IB is aware of the issue and working on it - there should be no pop-up advertisements if you are logged in. I understand it's typically a google ad provider who resells to an advertiser who doesn't follow our advertising guidelines.

It'll help track them down when you see this issue if you take a screen shot of your device and post it, along with the device type, OS and how you were viewing the site (native web browser, mobile site, mobile app)
