If they're a form of pop-up, the ones that completely freeze the tablet are particularly irritating

[pastafreak]

I just got on that says....
" the page at ads.yahoo.com says -Mono Market Play Now!"... Then " cancel/OK"

Are you getting that,sloopy?

[humbersloop]

yes, that's one of them pasta

[pastafreak]

I don't think Ed saw this....its just as bad today...in fact a bit worse. I get an ad for a browser I've never heard of,and when I hit the back button it takes me to the Play Store.

[humbersloop]

bump

[pastafreak]

Bump... again....

[AB Editor]

I've never seen them myself. Can you take a screenshot and send it to me?

Are you sure it's from AB and not from something within the browser app?

I'll see what I can find with what you'll told me so far...

[humbersloop]

Ta Ab Editor,

don't know if it's "from" AB, but this is the only place it happens

[AB Editor]

Do you have other tabs open while you're on AB?

If you're both having the issue you might be AB... I'll see if I can replicate the adverts.

This is on the "main" AB - not the mobile version, right?

[humbersloop]

nope, it's the only tab I have open and it's using Chrome not a mobile app

[Tilly2]

I keep getting that same thing on my android tablet.

[AB Editor]

OK thank you. Still trying to replicate it here.

Can you all let me know what browser you're using please?

[pastafreak]

I use Chrome.....am happy to say no nasty ads for about 24 hours...:-)

[AB Editor]

I'm making a further line of enquiry. It's very tricky to pin down.

Have you checked your extensions/plugins on chrome for anything unusual?

[pastafreak]

I wouldn't know what an extension/plugin is....

And again...I've not had any of those ads now for two days. :-))

[humbersloop]

It's started doing it again...

[China Doll]

Had it yesterday on Samsung tab and I was just using AB and not the mobile app. It's really irritating and the pop ups actually take you to completely different pages.

[humbersloop]

the common denomnator this morning is the message "the page at ads.yahoo.com says download xxx now!" if that's any help

are you getting that china?

[humbersloop]

although the message "the page at lovelinks.us has links that need updating" with a download button just froze the tablet completely

[China Doll]

The lovelinks one is the one that takes me away from AB completely.

[humbersloop]

the lovelinks thing takes you through to an app called mobogenie market in the apps playstore
