Problem solved...Ghostery browser thingy!!!

Jalen Bluntson · Post #1 » by **Jalen Bluntson** » Mon Jun 25, 2018 5:42 am

Reloads and popups keep kicking me off. My keyboard is lagging. I get kicked off after paragraphs of posts every other post. I'm a phone poster. It's so difficult.

Fix it! Amazon contests. Google contests. They keep interrupting everything. Erasing posts I took time to type.

Is it my phone? No other site does this. Fuq!

EDIT: I downloaded Ghostery on my phone. All good so far!!! Sark is da man!

It really is an unuseable pile of garbage but I like the community so I suffer through it

Yeah I’m going to have to recommend what the above poster suggested. I just downloaded the app and it works way better. Try this, OP.

I noticed you seemed to be a little hostile lately. :lol:

Download the app. That stuff only happens when you login from from you internet server. Happens to me on Safari on my iPhone all the time. I just use the app now. But you can't And1 anyone's posts on the app. At least, not that I know of.

that's so true. That's why I asked them if they were having a bad day when they uncharacteristically made a cranky reply to one of my posts. Now we know the source of their angst

I'm sure downloading the app will work, but I shouldn't have to. I should just be able to use my browser as they do on every other site. I do notice that it's much worse during Peak use hours. Right now as I'm writing this I'm having almost no difficulty at all. In my opinion the pop-up fake ads are just laziness on the part of the real GM it people. This kind of stuff should just not be happening.

Yeah, man. He did the same to me too. I was like, damn, Mr. Cranky got up out of bed today.

It’s not realgm, it’s a kind of hack

Definitely a pain but I hate the Realgm app too

I don't want to get another browser or an app to read and post here. Seems silly to me. Shouldn't have to do that when this is the only site I have these issues with.

Post #19 » by **King of Canada** » Mon Jun 25, 2018 10:55 am

Any time outside of work hours I’m posting on my phone (iPhone 7), and I don’t have any issues at all. The only problem I had was an add that dragged the page to the bottom or top, but that has been resolved. I’ll report this to see if anybody has any suggestions.

Update - per site admin it’s being worked on. Report issues here or read.

I get those same Amazon hijack pages when I'm on my Samsung S9 using Chrome and it won't go away until I forcibly close the browser. It is definitely annoying.

But I don't have that issue or any ads when I'm on my own network since I'm using pfBlocker and uBlock Origin.
