OT: HFboards tech question - pop ups using iPad

[OriginalLimbo]

Dumb question from longtime lurker.

I only use Safari on iPad to browse. Any way to stop the pop ups that always strategically appear right where I would normally swipe to scroll down?

Doesn’t matter how many times the “Visit Virginia Beach” page insinuates itself between me and NYR banter, I will NEVER, EVER, EVER go there. EVER.

TBH - I would have been more open to it before. Now, I won’t ever go just for spite.

I have been to Virginia Beach many times.

Sandbridge is actually a pretty cool area for vacationing if one likes to rent a house for a week or so. It's like the Outer Banks NC yet not a whole lot of gentrification has taken place. Which is kind of the way I like my vacations, I am older though and do not have an iPad.

For you younger types Virginia Beach proper where the boardwalk runs probably would be more fun.

I know that was probably unhelpful.

NASA Langley Research Center alone is why you need to go to Va. Beach.

Can you blame me, those houses are not exactly cheap to rent.

Not sure how tech savvy you are but you can set up PiHole or download an ad blocking app like AdGuard.

Speaking of iOS issues … every now and then my text box blanks / resets when replying to a thread. Anyone else have this issue?

Yes.

Some of my best posts never reach anyone because of surprise random refreshes. Pearls lost to the universe never to be read by anyone because the website pulled a crazy Ivan.

Sick to my stomach about this.

Those are most likely scripts running or I can be talking out of my ass. I assume people with the issues dont have adblock?

Brave browser should help.

Yes. So frustrating!

This reminds me of the time a user complained about porn ads on HF Boards, and he quickly went quiet once it was pointed out that the ads themselves are usually based on browser history
