OT. Why is it that only on this site

[StensonRam]

I keep winning an iPhone7 so 'click here' or my samsung galaxy note 5 software is out of date and I need to click 'OK' to update it, can't use the back button as it doesn't work either, you close down fully but when you reopen the site it's still there or pops back up within 10secs, no other site I visit does this

try a pop-up blocker................... if that doesn't work please tell me and I will inform HQ. They are at present trying to lose some of the invasive advertising on the site, so please let me know if it is causing you problems.

[Bloomeram]

Have forwarded your problem to HQ and now waiting for them to answer.

Thanks Ian, I've tried ad blockers but it stops me opening other sites until I disable it, just a PITA having to enable disable enable disable

Just to offer another symptom, the site gets progressively slower the longer I'm on it, and I've seen other people say that, someone mentioned last week that when they wanted to write a long post they wrote it in word and cut and pasted to avoid the site freezing on them.

Yes I've had the same, very noticeable if you type fast, sometimes you can be 10 words in and the first hasn't even appeared on the screen, then 3 appear in quick succession then the rest letter by letter, very laggy and very a annoying

Agree with and have experienced all pf the above. Stenson - you can try white listing those sites you want to visit using *******er browser. Usually works.....

Cheers Dog, I'll try that and give it ago, FYI I'm using a note 5 and a new galaxy tab S3, can you recommend a blocker?

The only thing I can offer is this reply I have been given by HQ.................................
'As far as I'm aware we aren't running any popup ads now so it could well be something on his phone rather than on our pages. Please ask him to provide full details for us to investigate:'



Device, browser, url of page viewed, screenshot etc.

Sorry not into all the technical stuff, editing is hard enough at the moment, with two editing suites to cope with, plus an update to my windows 10 means I now have to use a separate browser just to be able to upload photographs............ I will mention your problem to HQ tomorrow Andy.
