Default Annoying Amazon Pop Up Ads
Does anyone know how I can stop the damn Amazon pop up ads when I open up topics on the forum? I did a google search but their remedy hasn’t helped. When they show up they completely lick up my iPhone and or iPad. Very frustrating to say the least.

Super annoying on IOS. After posting to the help forum, I ended up installing these blockers and enabling on Safari. No problems since

I don’t know how to stop them. But I hit the back arrow and then close the pop up and it takes me back to the forum page I was on

What this place needs is a Help forum where these kinds of questions have already been asked and answered. Over and over and over.

The only answer there is the “it’s not our problem it’s yours”.

What browser are you using. Adblock works great with FireFox.

Believe it or not, the solution is in the HELP forum. I would have thought you knew the forum had one.

Well, it is true. It's also where I found out that a free app called NeverAds blocks all popup ads on IOS.

Adguard that looks like the image below is the best adblocker I have used.
Blows Adblock away in my experience the past few years.
Not sure if it's available on mobile or not but worth a look.
I don't see any ads on the sidebars, bottom or any popups either.

and

There is no usefulness in having multiple open threads covering the same topic as it's not possible to monitor and reply to every copy.
