I get pop-up ads every day, telling me I've won something. Like Betty Davis Eyes, there's are zero issues on Websleuths when I'm not logged in, but as soon as I log in WS loads very slowly, freezes constantly and doesn't type correctly when I try to post. It's constantly freezing and reloading mid-post, so I have to start all over again. I clear cookies and cache all the time, but this problem persists. I'm mostly on my iPhone using Safari, but it does the same exact thing (slow loading, freezing, typing issues) on our desktop whether I use i.e., chrome or Firefox. I KNOW it's not a device or server issue because it doesn't happen on any other site when I use my phone or desktop. Only only Websleuths.
This is happening to me almost every time i log onto WS.I've been having this problem, too, except I'm redirected to a "you've won" gift card scam and can't exit the pg. without another full screen ad taking it's place ... and then another. The popups won't let me get back to Websleuths no matter what I do, so I've just about given up. :{ *h*e*l*p*!
The ad saying I have won is happening to me constantly, but only on WS. I am always on an iPad using Safari. I can do nothing other than close out the page and start over. I have posted about this in two other help threads here (with a screen shot) but have seen no response.
The only way I can work around this is to use an ad-blocker, which I realize WS would prefer we not do.
My other posts about "you have won" were

I have alerted to this recent problem with the hope it will get the attention of the proper person to help us.
Just a reminder that it helps most if you post what apparatus and browser you are using when this happens. (iPad, iPhone, laptop, PC, etc.) ( Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrime, etc. )
I get the pop up on both my phone and my Kindle. My phone is an LG. I use Chrome 59 on both of these devices. ( I don't get the pop up when I am using my laptop. I use Firefox on the laptop).
