I've brought this iOS issue up again, so hopefully it will be addressed.

Obbay, for the workplace blocking issue, are you using the old http web address or the newer https one? I don't know for sure, but I think if you use the https://www.discussfastpitch.com it should relieve the issue of the site being blocked for being unsafe. I know we made some upgrades in the https version so maybe that will help and you can go on at work. Unless they've figured out your productivity goes way down when you're on there and they've just blocked it entirely. ;)

Marc has asked if a couple of you can send screen shots of the spam messages you're receiving. If you can attach them here I will make sure he sees them. Don't go crazy with it, but a few would be great. Thank you.

Hi Ken- I tried the HTTPS address and it wasn't allowed either, but only because it was identified as a sports/recreation site. I wouldn't be coming here if it wasn't so I guess I'll need to get a new job:D

Shoot! The resolution isn't good enough to read.

You cannot hit the "back" button and return to DFP. You have to completely close the page, reopen, then I get about 3-clicks into the website and it happens again. This was the first time I have used my iPad to access that site in months and it was just to take the pictures. I may try using the Firefox browser to see if I have better luck with it, but my iPad is running iOS 10, and I think it it too old to upgrade to iOS 11 - probably a conspiracy by Tim Cook (fellow Auburn Alumni) to force me to buy a new iPAD!

Mine looks the same but I can back up most times and get to the previous page but the ads pop up again. Its really been A LOT better in the last couple weeks but it still does it.

My experience exactly! Also JAD, I have loaded Firefox and used it only for DFP but it wasn't long (maybe 2 days) before the pop up ads started there too. I got another "private" browser called Ghostery or something like that and that too, worked for a couple days before the popup ads started there too.
I do need a new iPad, this is probably another reason for it.
