If you're using Chrome, or Android, please read post #2 and follow the steps there to eliminate the pop-ups.
iOS users, we have a software solution, that should be implemented fully this week to resolve this.

Nice. This morning I got one that very sternly warned me that the site I was visiting was trying to install malware. Obviously this isn't good for your business to have your own ads warning people never to come back to your site.

I've been getting this for a bit too when using Chrome on Android. It's taken me to 3 different app things over the period of time it's been happening. These came up earlier today:
FWIW, I typed in the URL from the hyperlink in post #2 and it seems to have gone away.

Mobile Chrome users go this URL in your browser and change the highlighted option to "Enabled":
The advertising problem is on Google's end and they provide ads for an awful lot of websites. Is anyone else seeing a difference today?

I paid $1.99 for AdBlock. Make sure you follow the instructions (enable it within the Safari settings, and within the AdBlock app, slide up to activate). You cannot depend on any company that derives a majority of the revenue from advertising to correct the problem. This includes Google, and Internet Brands. Now, if enough users abandon forums due to this issue, then they will correct it because they will start losing advertising Dollars.
