      If you're getting it on other sites as well - isn't it time you decided to try and fix it your end instead of waiting for someone else ?
      When it comes to this stuff I don't know crap. I've got a droid and am getting it on another site worse than here still not a big deal for me. But if you could offer an easy fix I'd do it

        read the rest of the thread :-)

        basically you need to try different web browsers.
        Firefox - while not my favourite android browser, does have a lot of anti-advert add on's you can try.

        Also if you've got a rooted phone you can install a total online add blocker. Also works on jailbroke iphones.

          Okay, then why do you think Ken, aka "this forum" can fix it?

          And a computer to browse the Web perhaps??

          But then today's "smartphones" are really just tiny computers with a phone app.

            The problem with "smartphones" are some of the "dumbasses" that use them... What's so friggin important that you need to text or browse or app yo ass off and try to walk at the same time... or stand at a urinal and tend to the wrong business.

            Today, I was walking down the isle at work, when some idiot came blasting out of his cubicle and ran me over, while staring at his phone instead of looking where he was going. Don't get me wrong, technology is great, butt there is a thyme and place for it.

            I'll shut up now...

                  I'm in the peculiar situation of fixing, helping and advising people on smartphones and their usage (and any other bit of tech you can think of) - while absolutely refusing to carry any kind of mobile phone.

                  Hate them - I don't want to be in contact with people 24 hours a day.

                  That said I can appreciate that if you do use one - you want it to work.
                  Modern tech is sold as being idiot proof - which would work if most people were idiots - and they're not.

                  It's also sold on the principle that once the sellers have tour money - they really don't give a crap whether it works or not.

                  People never seem to realise this. Apple are one of the biggest offenders - while stylish and supposedly well designed the build quality of their kit is truly bloody awful.

                  Anyway, there are enough ideas in this thread to actually help - but you have to take some of the reponsibility for sorting problems out your self :-)

                    Just downloaded Firefox. Not sure which add ons to have, but got the ad blocker. See if it work's, so far I've mixed emotions about it but it'll probably grow on a guy.
