    Default Annoying ads on iPad

    For the last couple of months, my iPad has been possessed by the ad demon. Every minute or two, the App Store opens up and I have double-click the home button to get back to Safari. My ad blocker is turned on. This only happens to me on the QB. Does anyone else have this problem? I e-mailed admin but so far nothing has changed. It's getting to the point that reading the QB isn't fun anymore.

    Thanks,

    Darren

    Mine keeps taking me to the App Store and some bubble game everytime it is the same game. Almost feels like the App Store are trying to force me to download a game I have no interest in.

    I've been having the same issue and poked around on line and ended up in an Apple forum. Seems to be an Apple related issue that we can't fix with ad blockers or pop up blockers. Something to do with app developers and the App Store.

    I got so annoyed with Safari that I kicked it to the curb and D/L'd the free browser--APOLLO--from the app store. It has an ad blocker and I now use it all the time. My only gripe is having to switch to ''mobile'' mode at the bottom of the page when I want to respond on the Quilt Board. Then I just switch back again to the 'full site' because I am accustomed to the looks of the page. I dislike Safari very much!
