I have been getting an INSANE number of pop-up ads from the website on my phone, and it only seems to be getting worse. Every time I come back to the main blog page, pop-up. Half the time I click on a blog, pop-up.

Anyone else experiencing this? Dawn - is there anything that can be done on the admin side? I understand that you need to make money on the ads, but this is getting absolutely ridiculous.

I have pop ups blocked for this site because they are terrible. That still hasn't helped the frequent REDIRECTS this site allows. I've clicked on a blog only to be taken to some virus infested scam site that attempts to take over my browser. Either security protocols are seriously lacking or we are being pimped out.

I really only ever log in to the site on my desktop computer and have had no issues with pop ups and redirects.   Maybe I have those things blocked?

Yes, and it's annoying to the point that I've closed out of the site on my phone because I was tired of them.  I've also been redirected to sites that have my security software screaming.

I've used my sister's phone to get onto STalk and, OMG, the pop-ups are insane!! It's more frustrating than anything.

I admit, I miss the Recent Comments section like my big toe. And the emojis are on/off/on/off. Sad
