I also get it, only on this site. Got it on both iPhone and iPad. Tried all the steps to get rid of it (everything I could find by googling) but it didn’t work. Got so bad that I started using Tapatalk instead, which works, by the way. Returned to using the regular site a couple days ago, and no pop ups, not sure if they’re gone for good, though.

Yea it’s weird, like 2 weeks ago I was getting slammed with it. Ever since then I  haven’t gotten it. It may be the ads on the site.

Gotten it on occasion on a few different message boards...sports and weather related (including this one). Each board runs ads, so I bet it’s some bug that latches on to certain ad types. Luckily it’s only very rarely for me on the iPhone.

I’ve seen them on another board (fishing) and it’s def the ad companies throwing them on here. They should be illegal , that’s how annoying they are. Gotta close out the tab and re open it.

I has getting amazon ad spam or some such on my iPad a few weeks ago. Not on this site. I to closed safari app, cleared browsing history, and a couple of other things. And I got an app from the App Store, Wipr, that safari recognizes and has helped with the problem. Thanks to Tombo for checking with our provider. There is an exceedingly lloooongg thread on the Apple support forums. I think I have it bookmarked. Send me a pm if you are interested. Tyler

it's a bummer, but the mobile site (on my Android) is now thoroughly unusable. Although I've been able to get rid of the problem by deleting my cookies...and it's worked each day for the past week...this no longer solves the problem. Although it's a first world problem, I can only enjoy the site when I get time late at night on my desktop at home.

Can this problem be solved? Does it take money?

And just like that, the problem went away. Thank you Gods of random internet kindness!
