This is the same problem we had before and were able to get rid of it. The issue is a type of ad that is called an "interscroller" that scrolls from the bottom to the top of the screen and then scrolls away. While it is fully rolled, it blocks the entire page. Apparently, if your device is in landscape, it doesn't work and you get that "rotate your screen" message.

We will try to get it stopped again, but it may take until after the weekend.

+1. It’s gotten worse recently. It’s usually when I’m on my iPad using Safari in landscape mode. I report the ads every time but it does get frustrating.

Definitely not fixed. Ads jump every couple minutes on my iphone using safari. Taking a break because it’s just annoying

It had gotten better, but now it's back to jumping around a lot and more full page ads.

Hi. Just reporting that I am having the “Rotate Your Device” problem in the College Forum again. I know you had fixed this before, but it is back.
