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

    Really annoying.

    @bmauldin If you’re on a phone or tablet, try that Norton Ad blocker.

    It’s just an app so it is an easy uninstall if you don’t like it. I have been using it last night and today without issues. I think the battery drain was exaggerated by my earlier post.

    Just delete cookies and history once installed.

    Private mode works as well but that may just be Iphone.

    I’m just having the issue on my iPhone not my computer.
    Tried in private mode but no dice.

    Go to “Settings” ~ “Safari” ~ then “clear history and website data”

    then try private mode.

    Either way, this site shouldn’t be a hassle.

    Seems to be working that route. Thanks

    Thanks @moos for the heads up on ad blocking browser. Searched around some. Didn’t realize AdBlock plus had an iPhone app. Installed that and enabled it for Safari. Seems to be helping, at least for the second quarter.

    Yeah,I realize site owners have to eat, but I have no qualms when it comes to screen take over ads. You allow those, I no longer care about your revenue

    I access Dawgnation forums by iPhone 100% of the time that I'm here. 99% of the time it's from the Chrome browser. I've never had an ad like that. Id be willing to bet it's malware from somewhere. Even if Apple disagreeS.

  • Private browsing didn’t work :(

    Did you clean and delete website history?

    Go to “Settings” ~ “Safari” ~ then “clear history and website data”

    then try it.

    Private mode after clearing website data didn’t work for me either. However, downloading Adblock plus app and installing to work with safari is working right now!

  • I’m trying it again to see if it works

    All I use is the chrome browser. I’m still having the issue.

    FWIW, I was having the same problem. I started just using the DawgNation app

  • greshamdiscogreshamdisco ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Yes. Seems to have just started in the last 24-hours. It is an issue on their server or else they had the distribution list hacked to be spinning out the same spam to all of us. On the bright side, I seem to be winning a prize every time I visit this site.
