Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Got the exact same one yesterday when showing to browse on my phone. This site is basically unusable if you are on a phone.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Thankfully I have the pop-up blocker work around previously shared in this thread.

I wish I could do screen video captures like I do still screenshots. Cause when it gets to 6-10 blocks in a row in the same thread while not even scrolling, I could provide video proof the site's ads are broken again maybe even worse than before.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

I gave up on the mobile site (and visiting the forum less because of that) a while go, and saw this thread and gave it a whirl again to see if I see what you guys are. Yep, and I would say it's even worse than before, mobile site is unusable.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

What stinks is the site was completely quiet for about 2 weeks...

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

I disabled Javascript on my mobile browser and haven't gotten a hijack in weeks.

**knocks on wood** Hope it lasts!

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

What's the OS? Android or iOS?

I'm getting killed on iOS. Can't even use the site. Every page redirects me to the Amazon bullcrap.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Same here. iOS/Safari and I stopped even trying a couple weeks back. Completely unusable.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

iOS - disabled in Safari and literally haven’t gotten one since I did it (and other sites that hijacked too).

Keep getting spam sites when going to this site?
 

So when I use my iPhone, and go to this full site, I’ll be in a thread for a mere few seconds and it auto goes to a spam site. Keeps happening. Stopped for awhile but back again.

Any solution?

Re: Keep getting spam sites when going to this site?
 

Nope, you are alone, never heard anyone complain about that.

Re: Keep getting spam sites when going to this site?
 

Closing duplicate.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Ok, thanks. I was using Chrome on my iOS device. I'll try Safari with the fix you mentioned.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Whenever you get a mobile hijack, please try to copy the URL and give it to us. It helps us trace what ads are causing the problem.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Back to the whack-a-mole approach eh? Thought this approach wasn't working.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

The only way to copy the URL is to click on the ad itself (instead of CLOSING the browser, re-opening the browser, and quickly closing the tab before it loads).

Fuck. that. shit.

Fix your site.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

So, is there a solution to my problem on iPhone 6?

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

We’ve been dealing with this issue for 20 months now, and there doesn’t appear to be a full-proof solution on the iOS user end.

Sometimes Chrome works better than safari on iOS, but sometimes it doesn’t.

Unless IB changes ad servers I think were screwed.

Don't know if anyone else has been having similar issues with popups from the site on mobile, but just had this thread throw up a pop-up that was actually yelling at me in a computer-reading voice -in Portuguese?!?!?- that my phone is infected and I needed to download and install their software to make it run faster? Lol.
It was hilarious and I couldn't make out what it was saying or the language until the last sentence.

Re: 4K / Ultra HD Blu-ray: Discounts and deals
 

Pop-ups been an issue for almost 2 years. We’ve been bitching to IB about in a thread in Feedbck, but they won’t fix it.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

I primarily use Chrome too but Safari is the built-in browser for things like Twitter. That said, I haven't gotten any hijacks on Chrome either. I don't think I did anything to that browser, but I jumped down a rabbit hole on this issue a few months ago and might have flipped switches I'm not remembering.

Maybe turning it off on Safari got it out of my system all together or something.

Re: 4K / Ultra HD Blu-ray: Discounts and deals
 

Newer chrome versions are supposed to prevent pop up ads. On my desktop, the ad blocker extension works great, but I was never able to browse DVD Talk on my phone because of the full screen ad redirects that locked up my browser. I finally found a setting in Chrome that blocked it

chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture

I just pasted the above in the browser window, and I was able to use my phone again.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Yesterday I experienced a video that would not let me scroll past it and an actual redirect (even with the chrome blocker). Almost like the ad thieves are upping their game.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

If you have been experiencing this issue, please let us know if it is still occurring as of this post -- we believe we've managed to turn it off.

Thank you,

Paul

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Just had a few popups blocked. The URL was long and was not able to get a screenshot. Will attempt to get screenshot if it happens again.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Thank you b2net. Does that mean you still seem to be experiencing them? Are you using Chrome/Android?

Re: 4K / Ultra HD Blu-ray: Discounts and deals
 

That doesn't work on my iOS Chrome App. It only seems to be available for me on the Android App.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Chrome on Android. I wish I could have done a screenshot.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

I would add that I'm not seeing any redirects on either Android or iOS today.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

No issues since my post earlier.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Hit twice in a matter of minutes.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Make that three times now because it tried while I was in this thread posting about the other two attempts.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Thanks guys, still working on this...

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Thank you, b2net. We just turned something off, so let us know if they persist over the weekend.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Just received this in the 3D thread in HD Talk. Always wonder if some of this is thread related like targeted ads.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

And now twice today so far. This time in the RIP TRU thread in Store Forum.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

This ad looks familiar...

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Hm... you're getting the redirects 2-3 times a day? How often were you getting them, prior to Friday? I'd like to know if our switch made any appreciable difference.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Still getting 2-3 a day. In fact this just occurred. So yes since Friday I am still getting redirects blocked.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

And now again.

So basically it is still happening often. Not all the time but many times.
