"Subscribe Today" - What's it going to take to get rid of it?

I've never seen it, even once, while reading on my iPhone. First a 4, now a 5s. Also surf on an iPad 2 on occasion. Never there either.

I get it on occasion if I'm on a page I seldom visit. Clicking the x usually gets rid of it. I could see where it would be annoying as hell if it popped up constantly.

I have that issue with Chrome on my phone. It only happens on mobile devices and it often makes the page so that several thread titles cannot be clicked on when I close it.

How so? I already have it set to block pop ups. What more can I do?

Interestingly enough, the pop up is not wanting to disappear for me now. Thanks Obama.

Dolphin on my Nook Tablet fails hard with the ad as it renders the page unreadable. It's not a popup per say where it generates a new window, its more like the overlay that Gawker does on some of their articles. Probably a flash or java ad.

Bravenrace, a thought occurred: do you allow cookies on your iPad? IIRC, that's how the pop-up remembers not to bother you.

Its a bug with Safari on your iPad. You could try wiping the device out and going back to factory defaults along with forcing it to reload the latest version of iOS.
