Hey folks - as a member of the DawgNation community, please remember to abide by simple rules of civil engagement with other members:

- Please no inappropriate usernames (remember that there may be youngsters in the room)

- Personal attacks on other community members are unacceptable, practice the good manners your mama taught you when engaging with fellow Dawg fans

- Use common sense and respect personal differences in the community: sexual and other inappropriate language or imagery, political rants and belittling the opinions of others will get your posts deleted and result in warnings and/ or banning from the forum

- 3/17/19 UPDATE -- We've updated the permissions for our "Football" and "Commit to the G" recruiting message boards. We aim to be the best free board out there and that has not changed. We do now ask that all of you good people register as a member of our forum in order to see the sugar that is falling from our skies, so to speak.

Is anyone else receiving an unusually high amount of Iphone spam ads on this site?

    Same for me. Can we get an app or something?

    Technically, the forum is in the dawgnation app, but the forum has never worked for me in the app. Once I hit a thread, there is no “back” button...you’re just stuck.

    This summer the app got really wonky anyway. Was wondering if it got fixed

    My best guess is there is nothing wrong with your phones. I think these ads are being served by Dawgnation (or more likely the AJC). They’re such bottom feeding type ads that they are likely coming in from a network buy or some low-end programmatic pipeline.

    If so, it sounds like it can be fixed! But if it is not, it will keep me from reading the forum. Love the content, dont' mind ads to pay for it, but this stuff is beyond annoying!!
    Doesn't happen on full browser on laptop, just on phone.

    Only guessing here that it’s ads being served by Dawgnation or its parent. If that’s correct, the solution is as simple as a couple of clicks from someone on the AJC’s ad ops team to shut that campaign down.

    So does this mean my wife isn’t getting a new iPad or $1,000 gift card to Walmart for Christmas?!?! Darn it... have to go buy he r something then.

    You can buy my old iPad. Technically, that'd be a new iPad for her.

    I picked up Norton Ad Blocker. It’s free and it works.

    The only issue is that it does drain the battery faster than usual. It’s easy; however, to turn on and off.

    I only have a a few minutes at most on the forum without it.

    As someone pointed out, it is a recent issue for me with the exception of 247 sports.

    Bittersweet, I am glad I am not alone but hate that others have the same problem.

    I've gone to reading the pages in the "Private" mode. So far it seems to be working.

    I have it more on Dawgnation than on the forum. On Dawgnation it takes forever to totally load up. Very frustrating.

    What version of iOS? I'm using a 4th gen iPad and have not gotten any.

  • ReeldawgReeldawg ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Iphone 6s using latest iOS - 11.1.

    These type of ads are why I switched to an adblock browser.

    That's what I have--though I haven't experienced this problem.

    Adblock browser (the people who make the desktop plugin)

    It’s become insufferable!!!! Right now I can’t even open a thread without it popping up and kicking me off!!!

    Really annoying.

  • Hope it gets fixed soon
