It happened for me on this thread 5 times but has stopped now and was ok on other threads but then started on the match review thread. At least it’s not a virus but v annoying.
It’s a dodgy ad provider serving the forum. It will soon be reported and stopped. Irritating but as long as you press back or close the browser window when it does pop up, not dangerous.

In the meantime some threads have become no go areas as soon as they are opened
Had something similar recently whilst in Spain but think it was from the Guardian website. We got rid of it on Chrome by using Website block, cut and paste the 'word' part of the address and add it to sites blocked.
I had to do it for about 6 different addressees but it did the trick.
Just for the record, I have a number of issues using Safari on an Apple ipad using only this website! I took my iPad to an Apple outlet who I showed the problems to and there was nothing they could do and said it was a problem with Vanilla! They also told me that in the next few months there will be a massive update bringing some on going issues of varying degrees into line and improving Safari/Apple bringing it bang up to date with other browsers......something about a new generation version or some such jargon that I didn’t really understand. I can only hope that this update will improve the very irritating stuff I and some others are having to deal with since around March of this year.....prior to around that time it was perfect......I can’t be more specific about the date and may be a month or two out with that estimation. My keyboard now does not clear the screen when I have posted a message and my inability to see the drop down names of likes and lols on threads or posts other than ones I have started or posts I have sent myself.....very strange. I also have a problem when I send a PM, getting the drop down list of users to work so I can’t find a user name and post. I try over and over again and then for some strange reason it suddenly decides to work! Other times I just give up.
Sound as , im no expert , but as Johnboy suggested try downloading and using the google chrome app as your entry to the internet, and see if it makes any difference, I try to not use safari.
I would be very nervous to do that without qualified supervision, I am possibly the least computer savvy user on CL.....absolutely hopeless. Nevertheless thanks for the suggestion. I’ll wait for the new Apple/Safari update/version and see how that goes, if it’s still the same I will (reluctantly), try Chrome.

I’ve seen this a few times, but not here. It pops up periodically on various sites. Just close the app you’re in and it goes away. Most of the time I’ve seen this on Facebook.
Keep getting the same thing, when I click ok on the "special reward" box, I keep getting the offer of being able to buy an ailing South East London Football Club for £50m... What a scam

morning. Very annoying.
Cleared it, but was a pain cos I never won anything!
I feel left out.
It infects anything Charlton related.

That didn’t work for me before, sadly.
