    Smart phone ads


    Do Safari browsers on smart phones have a remember password feature Firefox on PCs? The pop-up ads on this site are atrocious when you aren't logged in.

    Also, OS sometimes earns lucky money when I bring up the forum page and begin scrolling down. The act of touching the screen automatically takes me to another page then I need to find a way back to OS.

    I'm getting really frustrated with how invasive these ads are on my iPhone and I always log in.

    This is the worst I've ever seen it.

      It's been suggested to you before but have you looked into an ad blocker yet?

      There are many of them offered for idevices.


      And there's always tapatalk.

        Thanks for the response, Kehlis.

        I really only recall two suggestions, both of which I tried and disliked; Tapalk and using a browser other than Safari.

        Tapatalk doesn't allow me to use enough characters for "Heroesandvillains," and I installed another browser but I actually really enjoy Safari and was only using the other one to use this website.

        I seem to remember you suggesting and Ad Blocker to me vaguely, but if I recall, the recommended ones weren't free. I simply can't justify purchasing anything when this is the only site I have as problems with. Even sites drenched in ads (Eurogamer/Gamespot/Ign) at least are easy to close and don't interfere with the basics of using the site.

        Operation Sports has a mobile problem. Hey, I heard there's an App in the works. Perhaps I should just hang on for that?

        I'm open to some free Ad Block suggestions in the meantime, Kehlis. And as always I appreciate your time.

          I keep having a lower screen "Banner" ad pop up on my ipad. Im logged in. I have never see it before. Is this intended?

            Re: Smart phone ads

            The biggest problem I have with ads is when I want to read an article and either the page freezes because of the ad or my phone freaks out and opens the app store. Tapatalk isn't an option here and needing to download an entirely separate browser just to read an article or review here or there is ridiculous.
