I have virus protection and pop ups blocked, but this happens to me all the time on this site. Quilting Board is the only site where this happens to me. It's so annoying, that I wind up closing the tab and leaving the site right away.

I just came to the Board to read a thread and it happened again to me, several times. The origin appears to be google.com-win-a-prize-from-am (Can't see the rest after am). I was using my iPad. This is only happening on the Quilting Board. I can't even read anything for more than a minute or so and then it appears again and I can't back click out of it. I am on a laptop now to post this message. I have to do what Trapunta said, leave the site right away because it just keeps happening.

I was reading a thread that bearisgray posted on feet back in May today when it first happened. Then ironically, it happened on this thread. It isn't happening on this laptop. Too bad I prefer the convenience of the iPad over the laptop but maybe I'll just have to use this from now on.

I am having this issue as well on my ipad. Started a few days ago, and is only occurring on this forum.

iPad's seem to be a source of all sorts of problems.
i can't offer any advice about them, though, because i only use real computers.

Ipads are pretty necessary for some of us with vision impairments.....and I have never had this pop up problem with any other site in the 5+ years that I have had my ipad.....

Odd pop up I’m getting
Is anyone else having this problem? For about a week, I’ve been getting this pop up every time I log in to the Quilting Board. I don’t get it when I’m logged in on other websites.

I have block pop ups enabled on my iPad and tried clearing my history. But keep getting. Just thought I’d see if anyone else is having same experience.

This is still happening, but only when I’m logged into QB. An additional weirdness started yesterday. When I type a reply on a thread.....it takes forever and I usually give up in frustration. It types each character with delay and I can see the keys on the keyboard slowing selected. When I press the back key to delete left, it deletes several words instead of one character left. It only happens when I’m logged into QB. Has me worried about security for my iPad.
