Digital Spy - Main Site - Pop Up Ads
I know this probably isn't the place for this thread but is anyone having problems again on the main site with pop up ads when using their phone?
The latest appears to be a fake Virgin Media competition which automatically takes your browsers to a new webpage which you can't redirect your way from - just locks the page. It's been well documented on here how many of us are struggling to use the site since the 'beta' version was launched last year and the mods appear to do sod all about this. Anyone else having the same problem? Sorry to bang the drum about the website again - but this never use to happen with the old site!! |

I have adblock on my computer but recently on my iphone after under a minute of looking at an article it will pop up with a 'you have won an iphone' crap which won't let me go back to the article.

The DS website was why I started using an ad blocker on the iPhone, the site was unusable before hand, if it wasn't full screen ads without a close button it was hijacking the page and taking you to another site or trying to load the app store.
Since iOS9 on iPhone5S+ and iPad Air+ you can use install content filter apps so I use Purify, no more ads, the sites usable and DS get no revenue because of their overzealous ads! |

Yes it's dreadful, I only noticed it this morning. Every time I tried to click on an article from Twitter for example, I got redirected to a page telling me I'd won an iPhone 6 and I couldn't go back to what I wanted to look at. Very very offputting
