Is Anyone Else Getting This POP Up Message

Is anyone else getting the pop up message below while they are on this forum? It only happens while I am on this website. I sent a message regarding this to the Administrator of this forum but never received a response.

Try those steps I posted in that thread to see if it works:

Put your iPhone or iPad into Airplane Mode (go into Settings and toggle the Airplane Mode switch into the off position).

Go to Settings > Safari and tap Clear History and Website Data.

Close Safari (double-press the Home button and swipe Safari up to close).

Exit Airplane Mode.

Restart Safari.

To reduce the risk of this sort of issue from happening in the future you can block popups (go to Settings > Safari and toggle the Block Pop-ups switch).

It will, but be careful of Ghostly:

https://lifehacker.com/ad-blocking-e...to-a-514417864

Ghostery is owned by Evidon, a company that collects and provides data to advertising companies. It has a feature called GhostRank that you can check to "support" them. The problem is, Ghostery blocks sites from gathering personal information on you—but Ghostrank will take note the ads you encounter and which ones you block, and sends that information back to advertisers so they can better formulate their ads to avoid being blocked. The data is anonymous, and Ghostery still does everything it promises to do to protect your privacy.

My setup, not that anyone asked is UBlock Origin and AdGuard (I'm on chrome). This combination blocks about 99.9% of ads, scripts and popups.

On my iphone I have 1Blocker and its perfect, no popups at all

I wonder how ghostery gets along with other background security software like say Norton or McAfee. Any experience there?

Thinking this is still on the NAM/IB side. The IT folks fix it but then html language is changed again and it comes back.

I just don’t get it, I haven’t had one pop up ever on my iPhone or iPad. I’m using a content blocker called 1Blocker and that’s it.

Another satisfied 1Blocker customer here. They also have a Mac version, for those who use Safari. Recommended for iPhone, iPad and Mac.

That blocker works so well because Vinnie goes and beats the hell out of folks sending out the ads. They have not choice but to stop . . . .
