I have no problem with ads, it's just frustrating to navigate around them when they keep popping up over the login fields.

I'm iOS 18.6.2 and use Chrome---because I'm a luddite, lol!

Mine also has a spaghetti of ads all over if I'm logged out, but once logged in they disappear. It should be like that for everyone...
If you're logged in and getting those same ads (not vendor ads), take a screenshot and admin will be able to see what's going on :)

Oh, no, they do go away if I am able to log in. It just takes such effort to log in dodging and closing ads all the way...

Yes, all the ads with the exception of our vendor ads disappear once you are logged in.

I've purchased a new phone since I last logged in, so this evening I had to log in again. I was shocked by the ads. And I too found it difficult to log in, it took 3-4 tries to get the ads cleared so I could finally log in. Actually, I thought BB had moved to an app and the page was no longer available.

If anyone still has this issue, I encourage you to try to turn on "Desktop view" on your phone's browser. Not sure about the Apple steps, but on Android, click the three dots in the upper right corner and select "Desktop site". You can then change it back to the mobile version after you've logged in.

Highly recommend this! It was a lifesaver earlier! Thanks again for letting me know.

I think desktop view makes it think your on a regular PC and not Android so the ads are served different, I know logging in as desktop can sometimes solve other issues as well as Android doesn't always play nice with sites not setup to run it vs a regular PC windows/mac setup or browser.

Yes many websites have adaptive display settings so they will appear differently on a mobile browser versus the desktop browser. :)

I hate technology.

that would be me.....there was a course in high school. I can still picture the room.
I still have a "portable" (so heavy though) manual typewriter in its case in my laundry room.
