Not getting it on my iPhone, only my iPad, and never on CC. For me the Amazon “Congratulations” or “Apple” pop up appears ONLY when I click on my Yahoo news feed. Once I close out, go back in, and delete the browsing history at the top of my screen, I can usually read whatever story was interrupted. I have not seen the pop up this week. Other weeks it appears daily/hourly.
@CCadmin_Sorin, I was not using the mobile set up but always use the full site and was still getting the amazon pop up.
CC has consistently been the only site where I’ve received the amazon pop up.
Saying that, I have not received the pop up this morning so thank you, maybe it will be better.
And thank you to the admins for leaving this post up. It’s very helpful
Also having issues. Reporting for more information in case it’s needed. I can’t get on CC at all on my iPhone or iPad as of yesterday. Every single time I get the Amazon pop-up in 10-15 seconds. And I access it as the full site on both devices. I have done all of the clear history suggestions, and I tried using a different browser. Nothing works. Thanks for working on this problem!
Still there. I took the ad blocker off and it popped right back up when I opened a thread. Blocker is back on and it is gone.
Lucky me…got the Amazon and Apple spam pop ups within minutes of each other today…fo the first time in a LONG time.
Why does this problem persist.
Several of us on the prep school sites are experiencing the same Amazon pop up despite having ad blockers on. It takes over everything!!! You can’t get in to CC at all! Please fix!!!
@CCadmin_Sorin why is it that CC is the ONLY place where any of us ever encounter this?
I can’t use the full site on my phone. It’s too much of a PITA.
This is now popping up on the CC website, have you been receiving them? There’s no way to go back, you have to delete out of the page and restart, I’ve googked instructions on how to get rid of them, but I get confused with all the IT lingo. I used my iPad 99% of the time, so if someone could help me figure out how to get rid of this, that would be great. I’d like to avoid a trip to the Apple store. Not only for that reason, but it’s right in the mall and that could be dangerous to my pocketbook!
I use the full site. And it’s interesting that the satisfaction survey CC wanted us to fill out had as a prize…an Amazon gift card. Does CC REALLY want to fix this, or is this some sort of marketing technique?
I still (fortunately) have the old app on my phone and I NEVER get the pop up on my phone. But, once when I was having issues on my iPad I deleted the app thinking no I could reinstall it. Wrong. And I get the pop-up CONSTANTLY on my iPad, going to the full site through safari. So that previous explanation doesn’t make sense. And for those of you saying to post in the community and forum issues thread, um… this IS in the community and forum issues thread!
^^ @jym626 , the reason you’re seeing posts saying to post in the Community & Forum issues thread is because the mods merged this one with one from another forum.
Well that makes sense, @patsmom. Never saw (or posted) in a thread other than in the community and forum issues forum. Where was the other thread?
Don’t remember – either Parents or Parent Cafe.
Well, the good news is that I haven’t gotten the spam on my ipad (yet) this morning!!!
Had this on Amazon. The advice was to clear out all your browser history.
10 times in the last 10 minutes
I clear out my history regularly and that has no effect on the pop ups here.
The only thing that’s working for me is using Adblock and having the VPN thing on (I don’t really know what that is or why it works but it does).
If I just have the Adblock turned on for safari but I’m not using the VPN thing, the ads pop up again. That happened with both my iPhone and iPad today, multiple times.
Clearing out history and turning on the pop up blocker doesn’t work. I’ve considered buying a bob for my phone but it happens when I’m on a secure network, so not sure if that will help. Grrrr
Same here
It is back for me. I haven’t had the Amazon thing for 10 days or so. YUCK!!!
