This just started. An advertisement for "Pike Place Roast" keeps appearing on page changes. This sometimes screws up the display so that no links are clickable and website has to be reloaded. Not happening on any other sites, so I assume a PH issue - Streaky

Me too. I can't see Streaky,s post thanks to it. I do have a free cup of coffee now though. Is this sort of thing normal for iPhones? Have only had mine a day

This problem is affecting me and I don't like it.

On a different note, I find myself having to 'tap' everything at least twice in order to open it - this is also very frustrating.

Annoying as sin that advert. Takes up an iPhone screen sized space. If you scroll down you can see below it, and then it goes after a few seconds. But it's on every page.

I've just started getting this too. I've never even heard of the place.

I love a nice strong cup of coffee, but will never visit that place.

Did it say Starbucks on it? It said "Pikes Place Roast" on the one I got. Ah, a google check says it is Strbucks filter coffee.

I'll see what I can do to get this removed, but as it is the mobile site it might be a little more tricky. Is it possible for one of you to post a screenshot?

Wow this is really irritating, getting pop up ads for Starbucks all the time. It's also painfully slow when using 3G

Oh my god where did this come from? It's happening right now and would literally stop me using the mobile site, massively intrusive.

Is this PH's idea of subliminal advertising? Cos it's about as subtle as a poke in the eye.
