Spam popups

Lots of pop up Norton anti-virus ads coming up. Site is barely useable. Took me 5 tries just to write this. @WebmasterCorey

I can only hit Disboards and not get the pop-up with DuckDuckGo. It is not a Google problem because it happens on Safari & Mozilla.

It’s back for me on my iPad Mini, Safari, same iPadOS 17.4.1. So far, nothing here on my iPhone, and I had no problem reading DISboards with Chrome on my Windows 11 desktop for the previous hour.

I’m seeing the Norton pop-up on my iPad, Safari, iPadOS 17.4.1. Started yesterday.

I keep getting Norton pop-up. Very difficult to see anything on the site without the pop-up coming up to fill the screen.

I've actually had the chrome problem (the same one robinb reported) prior to today but it was previously only occurring every 20 minutes and lasted for a couple of days. It's now made the site unusable on there for me (both on windows laptop and iPad), but fortunately it's working on Safari so far!

It’s a Rogue Google Ad. We are looking to find it and block it. Also, I’m doing some process of elimination on the “Wide” template (bottom left of the forums.)

I understand and it’s happening to me too. I’m doing my best and working with Google to find and fix it.

Things are looking much better at the moment, @WebmasterCorey

I think so too!

Not better. Android firebox and duck browsers

Happening again, several times tonight - Safari on an iPad.

Things were bad for me yesterday morning, fine last night, and are now bad again. I just had six pop-ups trying to get to this page. Verizon, Norton, "scanning your device", and a red screen saying "your device doesn't have virus protection".

 

[sam_gordon]

Still having issues. Had pop-ups five times trying to write this short post.

 

[CarolynFH]

All has been well for me this afternoon and evening. Hope it’s resolved for everyone now.

I am repeatedly getting a fake Norton web page opening with 2 or 3 tabs that cover the entire page telling me it is scanning and finding problems. It ONLY happens when I open discords. I can open anything else, doesn't happen, but happens EVERY time I open DIS.... started today.

 

[Naomeri]

This is still happening to me too—sometimes the Norton ad, sometimes a 404 page (not after clicking anything)

I was having the Norton popup within a few seconds of being on the site a couple of days ago. I had to completely clear my browser data. Haven't had the problem since. I've been using chrome the whole time.

 

[WebmasterCorey]

Try changing your DISboards.com template to "Wide" and let me know if it helps. The bottom left of the site.
