Hi, I use my phone to view the MacRumors RSS headlines on my phone. Now, when I go to read the actual article using the mobiles browser it loads the page and then another page decides to load which is an advert.

I cant close this advert and I cant go back as it keeps loading this one page. It never used to do this and now I cant read the articles!

This begun about two months ago.

Any help would be great!! Thanks.
 
Does this happen sometimes or always when you try to view an article?

Is is always the same ad?
 
It happens all the time now since, say, a few months back.

Its different ads. They seem legit 'paid for' ads such as teaching.

I'm guessing its a pop-up that my basic Orange phones' browser loads and then i'm stuck on that page.

As i say, they first appeared in late July. I'm wondering did anybody (on the site) change the code?
 
I don't think we've made changes, but that doesn't mean there aren't bugs.

Does this happen to anyone else?
 
Register on MacRumors! This sidebar will go away, and you'll see fewer ads.
