hey @NCporsche, another member posted the following:
to eliminate the pop-ups, turn off the javascript switch in safari settings. Seems to have minimal impact to functionality of this website, but remember to turn back on after leaving rennlist.

If IB can’t fix their own site, they shouldn’t charge any fees to use a corrupted forum.

I need information and can't browse this site on my Android phone without constant pop-ups. I was considering becoming a paid member, but now I know the ads wont stop so I won't be joining.

Android has a separate weakness that is not related to the issues iOS users have been experiencing. That said, I'm told we booted an advertising partner yesterday afternoon, so I'm cautiously optimistic that we have finally eliminated them.

Wonderful news, I have not “won” a damn thing in the last 12 hours and I’m Happy, Happy.

IB chooses to do business with the google ad networks.

Anyway, I use Purify on my iPhone and iPad and haven't yet seen these ads

REMEMBER: you have to turn on the content blocker: Go to preferences, safari, content blockers, and turn it ON.

Posting here on an iPad is gotten worse and worse. The "smart" edit box is getting worse and jumping the cursor up so you cannot see what you're typing.

We pay for two sites: WSJ and Rennlist. WSJ works; Rennlist doesn’t seem to work so well. I assume IB makes more money from fraudulent advertisers than people like me, but I’ve been avoiding Rennlist while on my iPad. So I’m on less and see less (legit) ads. Good business model???
What I don’t understand is what good the scammers think they will do for themselves. It’s not like any sane, thinking person is going to go to their sites.
I’m sure annoying me won’t make anyone any money.
