Can you use chrome on an iPhone? Maybe it's a Safari browser thing?

That doesn't look like a legit/sanctioned ad...

It's not legit for sure. It's happened before the techs from Internet Brands killed it off. They seem to have found a way around it again recently. I just PM'd admin to take a look into it...

I use the Adblock browser as well after another similar thread a few weeks ago. I am not a paid member here and have not experienced a popup on any message boards I visit since. I browse using an IPhone.

I would think this is a virus as this exact thing happens on a MMA website I frequent.

Never seen this before on desktop and on my phone I use the Garage Talk app - better than viewing it on a mobile browser.

It made this site unusable for me. I tried chrome no help, tried desk top site and even though I have gotten the pop ups with the desk top site it seems to have stopped for me.

I thought I was the only one but I also get the same gift card offers but only when I use my iPad or iPhone but never on my iMac.

I just stopped using or visiting this site via my mobile devices.
