which thread was this? this usually happens when a forum user's signature contains some links (images or scripts) - which expire and are taken over by malicious scripts that push out ads.

But I haven't had this problem ever since I reported it in April. But from my original post and screenshot, you'll see it's that Bukit aman thread before I was redirected to the scammy site.

Looks like munak991 is correct. The popup happen after idle awhile at all thread anywhere everywhere, including this pagr im writting the reply now (which has no signature linking to external site) so its not like what u mentioned.

Don't have this issue on Firefox on Android.
Edit - but then again I have a Diversion installed on my router that could be blocking it.
