Investigating Keep getting a pop up

[BYC Support]

Thank you for the additional updates. We will dig into it further. In the meantime here are some additional instructions on how to prevent this in chrome:

Yes, this might be worth a try for those using Chrome:

"The process only involves toggling a flag in Chrome's settings to 'Enabled,' and it works on both desktop and mobile. Just copy chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture and paste it in the address bar (you can't click/tap on it due to security concerns). Then just tap/click the highlighted dropdown menu, change it to 'Enabled,' and restart the browser when asked."

Well, I didn't have to wait long. It did it immediately after my post. They don't always show the same web address, but they all look similar. Once I get one, I can't use the back button and have no choice but to close my tab and lose my place.

I only get them on this site. I use Chrome on an android phone. The time was 6:43pm PST.

We've been making changes and adjustments to try to block the rogue ads.

Please make sure to clear your browser cache here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/keep-getting-a-pop-up.1204670/page-9#post-19319099

If anyone still sees these ads AFTER doing that, please report a screenshot and the time you saw the ad.

I’m getting the pop ups too. I’ve cleared everything as instructed. I cant even read any posts the pop ups come one after another. Only happens when I’m on this forum.

I've been receiving these messages also, the next time it happens I'll give you the information. Also it slows my system down, not sure that's the problem or not, but I 'll keep you posted.

It’s gotten worse. Can’t even read a post without the pop up. Tried viewing while logged out, but same thing happened. It’s taken over 10 minutes for me to write this post because I kept having to go back then start over. I’m going to take a break from the site and how you can get this straightened out!

 

[Nifty-Chicken]

Thanks for the reports, we've escalated this and are looking into the problem.

Please reply with:

• which device (iphone 6, Samsung Galaxy 8, etc.) you are using
• which browser and/or app you're using.

Thanks! It kept popping up even as I was logging in! I’m using Safari on an iPad. Maybe I’ll try using the app to see if it happens there as well.
