I tried that one too, didn’t help. Resetting Advertising Identifier is the only thing that worked for me. Some have had luck with other browsers, ad blockers, settings, etc but resetting the Advertising Identifier seems to have more success with more people. At least on the Apple forums.

Just an up date for my problem with this issue.
I have an I phone 5
The problem is gone now.
The only thing I done was the IOS update.
I do not know if that is what made the problem go away thou.

I have the Apple I phone 5S. Like others I occasionally pop in here during the day to check on a thread using this phone instead of the company's phone or computer. I do not use this phone to randomly search the web. The phone is rarely used actually. It's updates are current.
As of today it's been over a week since I've had that ad.
I think the ad only appeared when I was on the general discussion forum. The Amazon ad appeared every time with a few different headings like "gift of life" or gift of something else. I don't shop Amazon. I've never even been to their site. It's definitely device targeted as it does not happen using my laptop. Someone suggested it targets certain IOS systems.
Thank you Josh for looking into this.

Is it only iPhones having this issue? I run Android and haven't had a pop up yet.

I only know that I have iPhone.

I had it on my IPad. Nothing I did, but appears to be gone now. Noticed yesterday that is now on my iPhone 7. I don’t use my phone for this forum very often so I’m guessing it’s been on there for awhile.
