Does anyone else here besides me use an iPad? When I am posting I always use my Windows computer, but at least several times a day I pick up the iPad just to read the latest posts here but it is getting to be more and more of a problem. When viewing with an iPad one of the ad networks always has an ad for iPad users and often it forwards you away from LPF directly to an app in the app store they are selling. Its happening more and more now so that many threads can't be viewed. It sometimes happens on the home page but not often, mostly when viewing a thread. Is this happening to others with an iPad or iPhone?

Hi Guys,

If you are logged in to LPF, all external graphical ad networks should be disabled (the other ads are just static images hosted on LPF server) I think the ads you are talking about are the ones which only show for people not logged in.

If you log in, does the issue still occur?

It does not happen once I have logged in. The trouble is that I don't even have time to log in before it kicks me into the app store. Is there anyway to delay the first ad for, say, 30 seconds to allow time to log in?

Thanks very much, I completely missed that. I was just now able to log in on the iPad and it seems to be ok now, I'll just stay logged in most all the time then.

lpsouth1978, what is the exact name of the app store app your getting redirected to?

I will report this unacceptable behavior to the ad network once i find out which of the 2 is causing it. i also hate when this app store redirect happens on other sites. sorry for inconvenience with that

Ah I think the law firm who's internet I was using had a firewall blocking "time waster" sites, like those we use to host images
