Every time I try to use MAL on the Safari browser, using my iPhone, I always get these pop-ups saying "Support the app, download one of these games." I usually have about a 5 second window before it redirects me to this pop-up. I tried to click on one of the games to download but it takes me to a blank page. I don't know how to resolve this. Has anyone experienced this before?


Mod Edit: Issue resolved.

It's an ad, and probably malicious. If you use the internet pretty much at all, then you would know this.Then again, you use an Iphone...

I'm having the exact same problem, same circumstances. I have to type fast before it pops up and kicks me out of the forum. You're not alone

These were the kinds of ads that basically made me install iPhone adblock. the best you can do is report it in the complaint thread although the best thing you can really do is download adblock on your phone instead...

That's a good idea. Do you have any suggestions to apps?

Yup this has been a problem. My username and password are fairly long too so impossible for me to log in. Hope this gets resolved!
This ad popup occurred to me a while ago but it was fixed, seems like it's back.

If you have an iPhone, there should actually be an available Adblock Plus app. Not sure if it's by the same developers as the desktop browser app, but it works like a charm for getting rid of the redirects, you just have to change some settings to allow it in safari and baddabing baddaboom, that shit is gone. Now, some shitty mobile ads on other sites I use get through occasionally, but on MAL it's done wonders for me.
