Annoying Pop-Ups on iPhone

Posted , 7 users are following.

I tend to read all the responses to BPH discussions I'm in on my phone. However, lately the pop-ups are so bad I can hardly use it. Anybody else have this issue? Is there a way around it? (I have pop-ups turned off in Settings).

Thanks,

Tim

    This site is full of ads and runs extremely slow on my phone. Plus the posts aren't in chronological order making the most recent post in a thread very hard to find.

    That said, they have to pay for the site some how and it is a good place for health info

      I see the ads but they don't block anything.

      Its not blocking for me just slows the site down to a crawl. Even on my desk top sometimes. Couple that with difficulty finding new posts in a large thread makes me want to scream. I followed the FLA thread until it took me 10 minutes of scanning posts to find the newest one.

      Unclefester,

      Just checking, did you go to Settings on your iphone and enable Adblock Plus in Safari? So far since this morning its working great for me.

    I use AdBlock Plus on my IPhone and that stops the popups making this site usable.
