Hi all, has anyone had issues with ads (by TurboMac) popping up on their iNat page or a new tab opening asking to download a new version of Flash Player (which I'm pretty sure is not legit)? This is happening on Safari (mac) and I thought maybe I had a virus, but noticed it's happening only when I open iNaturalist.org. Any thoughts?

I've not seen this but it sounds browser related. I'm not sure why it would only be effecting you on iNat.org though :-/

Is it happening consistently on specific pages on iNat and if so what are the URLs?
