| Pop up ads, again! The full screen ads are now more frequent and very annoying. Only recently did they appear. I do not get the ads on other sites on my iPad and wonder if it is a glitch on the YT site?? |

| I just got an Ipad Mini for Christmas. First thing I noticed when using YT was the popup ads. They are here on my desk top under the highlighted words (so I keep my mouse WELL away from them ) but on the mini, it pops up and takes up almost the whole screen...very annoying.

| Ads I think it must be something to do with the YT site. They are so frequent now and so so annoying. They pop up when the mouse is still and I am just reading a page and seem randomly generated, usually from a limited number of products. YT must have a virus?? |

Administrator | We just did a test with an iPad running the default Safari browser on YorkieTalk and we did not experience any popup ads at all. If you can provide a screenshot or let us know which thread you are reading when you saw an ad, we can look into it. YorkieTalk does not have any viruses and we have never utilized popup ads here on our site. Thank you. |

| Ads Thank you so much for looking into this issue. The ads seem to just randomly pop up when I am doing nothing. They occur on different threads. One of them was for Temptations dog treats I believe and another for a Brawny or other paper towel. It seems to be only a couple of ads that recur. Perhaps there is a pop up setting that I need to look at. I will go to the Apple store and ask what I can do. I am glad that it is not a virus or due to the YT site. Again thank you so much for testing it out. These I pads do have minds of their own sometimes! :-) I really appreciate the YT site by the way. Thank you! Happy New Year! |

| On thinking more, as we have different ads, it could be some use grabbing site that tailors ads for each user. I do not see options to set for pop ups etc on the iPad as I do on my desktop Mac. As I mentioned before I will try and resolve at a Mac store. Strange that it only affects the YT site, but perhaps I did not notice on others? Just happy it is not a virus!! |

| It is only on YT for me too! Are yours all Kontera ads? They are a text advertising network that supposedly is allowed by certain websites so that those websites generate revenue $$. I assumed YT subscribed to their services & allowed these ads to make money...annoying as they are. They aren't so bad on my desktop, as they are small & I just ignore them or close them out if if are blocking what I'm trying to read....but on the ipad, it fulls the whole darn page...extremely annoying!!!
