Pop up ads on iPad

Post by facefirst »

Does anyone else have some ads pop up on the bottom of the screen on their ipad? I understand needing some ad revenue, which I thought that's what the ads at the top were for. Now there's one popping up at the bottom any time I go to read a new thread?

Have you ever noticed how slowly over time, your post tone and grammar shifted from pasty English guy to full-blown Asian woman?

Nope it's lazy typing on an ipad. "There are adds on the forum now" is correct I probably changed my sentence halfway through and did not check my post. I am slightly dyslexic. Which doesn't help. But mostly lazy when posting.

I am hardly pasty lol

I didn't mind it when it was just an ad at the top but now it's pretty much unusable on an iPad. Having shit pop up at the bottom of the screen on EVERY PAGE is annoying as hell.

I don't know what iPhone you're using, but on mine I have the top banner, a bottom click box sometimes, and once or twice a week a pop up like an alarm that asks if I want to download a game/app

I still use it, but having 3 adds at one time sucks when it happens

I only get the random top ad. Nothing else.

I switched ad providers yesterday so the Candy Crush crap is gone for good. There was a pop up right after the switch but I turned it off. Right now there should be only a small text-only ad on top of the mobile screen. If you are getting anything else, I'd say clear your phone's cache, it should go away. If it doesn't let me know.
Guitars:
'78 Les Paul Pro / '89 SG Special/ '04 Gibson Les Paul Classic 3 pickup / Jackson Star/ Endres Tele / Fernandes Rhoads/ ''74 Hohner MIJ strat/ 2 Partscasters

Amps:
Depends on when you ask. I got tired of constantly updating this section lol

Cabs
Marshall 1960A w V30s/ Seismic 2x12 w Redback and V30.
