    I just tried viewing the board on my Galaxy phone using Chrome and did not see any pop-ups. There was a rather annoying Tapatalk app ad at the top but I was able to close it. The native Android browser was a bit worse, as it required some effort to close the Tapatalk ad. I did not see any pop-ups though. I'd assume there could be some if you (accidentally) click on an ad, but I did not click on any.
    I don't have an iPhone, but I did try on the iPhone emulator and did not see any pop-ups either. Granted I didn't browse that much.

    I have a Galaxy (i use Chrome) and it does it randomly, not often but often enough to be annoying, sometimes I don't even have to click on anything I'll just be reading a topic and all of a sudden I'm looking at a Google Play app or some other random site

    Hi Petro

    Thanks for looking into this but I think this problem exists only on Safari. Each time I read the board on Safari I get redirected to App Store. When I view on Chrome, the problem doesn't happen even though I am on my iPhone.

    That contradicts everything I said in the comment right above yours

    I've basically given up browsing from my phone. I can't read a thread for more than 5 seconds and I sure as hell can't reply.
