Default Explore British Columbia Pop Ad that just started today on multiple iPads

I normally browse the forum on my ipad and all of a sudden tonight an Explore British Columbia banner ad keeps opening up and taking up my entire screen forcing me to hit the "X" to close it out. It happens every time I refresh almost any corvette forum section. If I read a thread and go back the a forum section, it takes over my screen again. It also seems to occur when replying to or editing a post.

This only started tonight and I was able to reproduce this on another iPad. This is happening in both Safari and Chrome. Pop Up's are blocked through settings on my iPad. I did see there was a an explore BC banner ad at the top of the C7 General Discussion Section which is likely the source of this pop up. Not sure what's up with that ad but I know there aren't any viruses on my iPad and this only began happening tonight. It's painfully irritating and I wanted to point it out. I've cleared my browser cache, restarted my iPad and duplicated it on a second iPad.



This is the banner ad at the top of the screen shot that I believe is the source of the pop up:








This is a screen shot of the pop up.

Same for me. Exactly the kind of thing that will make me close the site and never return.

Glad to hear I am not alone and that it's being worked on. It was also preventing me from hitting the reply button and even logging in. None of the buttons would work after the pop up. I tried updating this thread last night but the button issue prevented me from doing so and I didn't feel like going to my computer. Now that I am at the office, I figured I would reply back. Will test again when I get home to my ipad.

I'm back home and things on the forum are behaving normally on my iPad again. I'm glad I can browse the forum again without having to deal with that issue. Thank you for the prompt attention to the issue!
