Hi guys

Seeing this pop over ad when viewing threads on Geekzone. Anyone else seen it?

iOS on iPad using Safari.

Cheers

Yes I saw this as well last night, on iOS on my iphone, not Jailbroken.

Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

Yeah, same...

I'm on holiday browsing GZ on my iPhone and that damn thing comes every refresh of any page, and every new page too.

Does close if u click the X but really irritating when pop over comes on a 4' screen!

Same on all my iOS devices. I didn't mind a few adds and have even clicked through quite a few, but this one is very irritating and intrusive, especially on the smaller screens.

Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation

Same for me, no worries having IN page adds (can't afford to subscribe as sole breadwinner, 2 little kids and the 'dream' home wife to raise them) but the pop over ones drive me nuts... Adblock for iPhone Safari?

This particular ad seems to be popping up and interfering with the quick reply box under iOS on a phone - it's floating above everything else and covering it up.

Yeah I'm getting it too. I was going to ask M. what was up with it.
