I keep getting a pop-up for a well known super annuation firm while browsing AULRO on my phone. It only happens on AULRO.
Is this part of the site's advertising strategy, or is there something wonky in my Safari browser please?

what you don't get the n i s s a n n advert that others have issues with?

the site doesn't differentiate other than adverts are based on your browsing history...

i haven't seen it but i use forum runner and tapatalk when on a phone or tablet.

Like this:

I'm just surprised it can do it on an iPhone. It has only started doing it in the last couple of days, which is why I was wondering if it's from AULRO or some bit of malware that's attached itself to this domain somehow.

Yes, I should really subscribe.

Very annoying and slow!

Try using Tapatalk or similar forum app, no adverts come through from forums. :)

Just to divert slightly from the topic then.

What do you recommend as best Dave. Tapatalk (and which version) or Forum Runner ?

tapatalk seems to provide the best user expereince but causes more server issues

So, for someone who is NOT I.T savvy, can someone please explain what these apps actually do, and what their gains are???? I'm on several forums, only use an Ipad, and can navigate around fine.. I'm assuming I can see everything, and it is all clear and easy to read... I've avoided downloads, apps and updates, as I keep hearing horror stories about it clogging things up, slowing things down and generally being a pain in the butt... (a bit like that stupid damn Poootrol advert...). Cheers in advance.:)

Yep, got it now but it's MUCH more irritating as there's no 'close' button. And the damn thing doesn't keep up if you're scrolling, causing much jumping of the screen!!!

Inc, if subscribing puts a stop to these, it's a pretty good way of persuading peeps to stump up! :D
