Hey, you guys...do as Patrice suggested. Go to the app store and install another browser--at least until safari is fixed. Yes, it is safari...the 'congrats you won" came to my ipad while browsing a local 'buy'/sell' site. and I was using safari. I've installed a free browser that stops trackers and ads--it was free...it's called BRAVE and it is wonderful--no issues at all, no ads, no 'congrats'...all I had to do was select (it is pix of red lion face), enter my Apple password and ipad does the rest. I've never really liked Safari anyway, and have used a couple of other browsers in the past...one called Apollo has ad blocker. If you prefer Safari, you can always delete the temp browser---but I like it and don't think I will!

But I don't use Safari and I still get it. And I even installed an Ad block and I still get it....

If it were a safari problem, it would be happening everywhere I use safari. It’s only happening on the qb. I don’t think it’s a safari issue.

I cannot read the QB with safari browser, but with my new browser, Brave, I can browse QB and never get the 'congrats you won". That pop up hijacks the QB pages and I've also had it hijack other sites I've used Safari with on my iPad. That's why I am so sure it is safari browser. There's just some kind of malicious malware that I think has implanted and only pops out on certain sites.... As long as my added browser works, I will stay away from safari for QB and other sites I've had the annoying hijacker!

Please please please make this go away! I've been on the board about 20 minutes and it has happened 4 times. Very frustrating, not a good way to start my day.

I have been on the QB for barely 3 minutes and it has happened four times. I'm trying to read the Mystery Quilt thread, let alone reply.

Default Pop Ups are very annoying

These pop ups that say you won something are very annoying. I use Safari on my iPad. Sometimes it pops up 5 times on one thread. It is very Annoying. Doesn’t happen on any other website just this one. Help!!!!!!!!

Patrice, I'm on a desktop computer Mozilla Firefox with Avast security. I just had a popup that opened a new window and took me to it. So you IT guys should know it isn't just Safari. Thanks!!
