I have only experienced pop up ads (and ads elsewhere on the site) when not logged in and only on occasion.I do have a pop-up blocker turned on so not sure why these make it around my computer's ad blocker???

Hi Scott, thanks for doing this. :smile049:
However, both is not an option.
I get it only on my phone & both logged in & not.
At times I’m right in the middle of composing a post & I have to get out. The pop up blocks you from just cancelling it. So, I have to start all over again. UGH

I only use Tapatalk. Once I paid for the subscription, the ads went away.

No pop ups here. Only ads at the bottom. The only small minor occurrence is the "must be more than 10 characters" that comes up by only posting...less than characters like say in the game section. Which is understandable to weed out spam!

I will say that earlier today when using the computer I got a few popups at the bottom. It didn't happen on mobile but only one came up with that.

Okay, so I’ve gotten the Amazon pop-up 8 times in the last 10 mins. Twice while I was trying to reply to a post. I cleared my history & made sure ‘block pop-ups’ was on. It didn’t matter.
It only happens to me when I’m on parrot forums & when using my iPhone.
It is beyond frustrating.

I'm so sorry, Tami. Hope the programmer can swiftly eradicate that awful pest. :(

No need to apologize Scott. It’s not your fault. It just interferes with my ability to partake in the forums activities. :(
