Can't get to this place on my phone AT ALL without this bullshit happening now.

Yup, forum is impossible to navigate on an iPad. Make it stop, people.

Tempting fate here, but to follow-up on my post an hour or two ago:

Yep, forum became completely unusable. Almost every click was getting the takeover.

This was iOS Safari, full site, not that crappy mobile version.

I switched to iOS Chrome and the first dozen or so tabs have been ok so far.

On my fifth attempt in this thread, I just might get a post in without being hijacked!

Possibly fixed now? Probably only temporary.

No, not fixed. Got hijacked again after last post. I'm out of here for a while.

Yeah, I kept getting the same thing this morning so I googled that site and found another forum complaining about it, and someone said iBobi would look into it. Another IB site, I presume.

I can only use this site on my laptop.

If you're on iOS, NeverAds seems to stop the redirects. They stopped immediately after I turned it on.

I know ad blockers are frowned upon, but when the ads are making the forum unusable, it's either that or stop coming here.

Ok, so I'm back after taking 2 weeks off. Why am I not surprised that IB is ignoring this thread? Why have a feedback forum anyway?

I have installed NeverAds and so far so good. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks guys. We're trying to swat the ads down as we see them but they are being fed by our ad networks and it is a little dicey getting them removed. Keep posting screenshots. This is the best way for us to combat them atm.

If it keeps happening all the time with this ad network, is it time to maybe try to find a better ad network? Surely the amount of time you're spending fielding complaints and playing whack-a-mole with ads you don't even control and the amount of eyeballs and engagement time you're losing on this site (and I assume others) because of this problem that is getting no resolution from your ad network is worth more than whatever cost you might incur by choosing a different, better ad network partner?

The amount of time they spend on our complaints? Surely you jest.

This thread is a year old and it's only gotten worse.

Right on the money. I imagine the next IB meeting about this site will be along the lines of...

Yeah, it was a joke. Kind of like their response to our complaints.

This is the scareware ads I'm getting now on iOS:

I got the same thing earlier on my iPhone using Chrome. I love this forum but this is getting old. Between the site being taken over by ads on Safari to the point of not being able to use it and now this I'm pretty irritated. Chrome had been working with the site fine before today (I downloaded it probably a little over a week or so ago) and seems to work better overall but I hope this doesn't start to become an issue.

NeverAds worked for me as well.

Mobile site, while using a Samsung Galaxy S8, is horrendous.

I tried using it a few times in the last week and always get re-directed to a fake virus alert and then get directed to a fake google play store site to download some virus protection software.

I'm not tech savvy enough to know what the deal is, but something about the mobile site is definitely screwed up.

Oh wow, this is still a thing?

I probably spend less than 5% of the time here that I did this time last year as a result of the malware ad networks IB has in place...

Yup still a thing. Saw the usual shit last night.

I have an iPhone and several times when I click on threads this "your phone is damaged" crap comes up and i can't get rid of it

That happens to me all the time on my phone regardless of what sites I look at.

To me it only happens on this site

Yup. We've been putting up with this shit for a long time now.
Welcome to the future!

There's a long thread about this in the feedback forum.
