Not me. But I am about to make a poll to vote on the most annoying ad widget on the zone. Please participate.

No. Sound like a malware problem on your phone get you malwarebyte software and AVG or Avast antivirus software and run them several times I would do this in Safe-Mode .

You play free games on your phone? If so this is how the virus and malware gets in

Had an ad doing this to me but thankfully I'm not seeing it anymore. Turning phone to landscape mode would fix it for me

Forums are aligned to the right since I blocked the giant ad on the left. Everything used to be nice and centered.
Desktop.
Also get a "website is not secure" once in awhile. Weird. Been my homepage for as long as I can remember.

Download uBlock origin Lite. Activate it from your settings —- Safari. Problem solved.

I had this issue also. I was going through Safari to open the forum through google and I changed and just went straight through the Google app (browser) and it fixed it.

I had this problem using google Chrome on my Samsung phone. It was driving me crazy. ChatGPT said it was Google ads using stitial(?) adverts are something like that which the webzone cant control and which arent optimised for phone usage. Anyhow, Chat said to download and use the "Brave" browser. Problem solved

It's fine on my phone and PC. I don't see the problem.

The new ads they added for iPhones is extremely frustrating. I hate it.

I have the same thing as I try to scroll through the website pages, some annoying AF pop-up ad continually on the screen in front of all the site content. Anyone know how to get rid of this?
