    I’m getting similar, only a different advert (O2, you’re a winner).

    Irritating when writing a post, and I’m not able to navigate back.

    Is it this site?

    If so how do you get to the site? Do you have the site bookmarked? Or do you google it each time

    What is the address saved on the bookmark list, exactly as it is saved?

    Only reason I ask about the exact address is that sometimes it can be actually pointing to a third party site that then opens the forum, this allows the pop ups to appear

    Google doesn't allow pop up's so its not that and there haven't been any changes to the templates so we haven't been compromised so i think its at your end.

    Go download malwarebytes and run a scan and see if that identifies anything suspect on your system

    Actually, just realise you said you were on an iPad so Malwarebytes won't work. It also makes it more complicated as its much harder to infect an ipad
