Q: Anybody else getting annoying pop-up adverts on ECC?

Last 2 or 3 days I’m getting multiple pop-up adverts on the answers pages. 

 

Halfway up the right side is a Hong Bao / messag box that can’t be removed. 

 

Botton on of the page is a full width banner that when I try to close with the X tries to open a new window. 

 

Im getting this using Safari on iPhone. Anyone else having this problem?

Try 'Opera' (with free VNP, which is blocked in China, but it works also without VNP switched-on) or 'Safari' browser entirely without pop-ups. 

 

I see your last sentence .... I don't have any pop-ups not even with Safari OS on Mac. 

 

You might need to disable 'Location Services' under 'Security' tag on Sys Preferences.

Good reply Icnif. The thing is it’s only ECC where I get these pop-ups. No other websites. I’ve even got an adblocker installed. 

icnif77:

It might be IP-sniff or similar software to get your puter/device's print/ID and is masked as pop-up.

They appeared on my Android phone today. Not only do they take up a significant part of the screen but it opens spam app page too. Not to mention they are all in Chinese. Rather than some misguided marketing strategy it is an annoying waste of money and effort....grrrrrrr

A: You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holdi
A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/Working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
