The rate is now increasing to at least once per visit.

Do you still want us to post as we encounter issues? Cause here is another one. This time the url is hard to make out.

This looks familiar. I've seen this ad and this blocked redirect before.

I'm not sure the "track.googlaappla" is always the same site. Might be an intermediary, I'll check it out.

I was referring to the visual ad that was on the screen when googlappla popped up.

And look at this hit when viewing this thread. 6 popups blocked. I hit and cleared those... Then 8 popups blocked.

And again. If it weren't for the pop-up blocker, I'd be unable to view the site tonight.

Hi again b2net, I'm continuing to report all screenshots to our tech team.

Thank you. I often wonder if there is a correlation between the ad I see (or the little one at the bottom of the the threads) to the popups. For instance, are certain ads triggering certain popups.

b2net 03-24-18 03:22 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
Many times when I see the Boden ad, I get multiple hits. Not everytime. And there usually are more than 1 ad per thread.

Never sure if it is the bigger in thread ad or the tinier ad at the bottom of the thread.

But this time both were Boden......

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
And if there ever is a question of the date time of these, the date and time (military) are in the filename of the screenshots. I am in Eastern time in a state that is observing Daylight Saving Time. And here is another multiple which shows 2 Boden ads.

I have been getting these A LOT lately again, almost consistently on a daily basis. Often multiple times a day.

iOS 11.3 with Safari.

b2net 03-25-18 02:38 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
And often when I see this jobs ad, there is a popup blocked.

Never know if there is just correlation or actual causation...

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
8 pop-ups blocked?! That's got to be a new record. Not a good one, to be sure, but yikes.

Question, that I think DVDTalkers might be able to help me with and might provide a link of some kind? Does anyone here use TV Tropes? Because I get a lot of mobile redirects and blocked pop-ups on that site. Like 2-3 per page, then Chrome blocks them on that page.

b2net 03-26-18 08:06 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
I guess never set a record that can be so easily broken... 13 now...

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
And as I was attempting to get a screenshot of the 25+ blocked redirects... It actually redirected me... So I didn't catch that one... Ugh

b2net 03-30-18 10:54 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
And it happened again.. and it kept blocking but stopped counting at 25... It must have been almost 40... And both times this Summer Dreams ad was on the screen...

Don't want to jinx anything, yet wanted to say it has been a few days with no popup blocks..

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
Off topic but I have block pop ups on for Chrome on iOS and I never see those notifications about how many are blocked. And I can’t figure out why not. Any thoughts?

b2net 04-06-18 07:28 AM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
I am using Chrome on Android. I used the work around provided somewhere in this thread. The pop-up blocker notifications, etc were there after setting it up.

Not sure. Just thank the Internet gods that have smiled upon you.

b2net, we shut off another ad network, so let's cross our fingers. Some MIGHT slip through, I've been told, but not nearly as bad as before.

Good to hear. My hope is that none slip through and we are finally on the other side of the redirects...

Ah, gotcha. Weirdly I get the notifications on my iPad. Ah well.

mentioned this in the android form - I disabled chrome and installed Microsoft edge on my S8 plus - not only did it fix this issue (so far no issues at all) my browsing is much faster and smoother overall.

And again. Along with now that Post Image free image hosting site changed from .org to .cc so most of the old pictures we've posted will no longer show....

And the new mber increases to 6... And then when dismissing the popop it tried again and crashes Chrome..

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
Its not just you guys. This week I get redirects whenever I fire up my mobile browser - which immediately reminds me to close Chrome, turn my ad-blocking VPN back on, and try again.

The bad news is that the site ends up getting zero ad revenue from me, because the VPN blocks +all+ ads (legit ones as well as redirects). This is hurting IB one tiny cut at a time.

I hate being forced to block ads, but if the choice is to do that or not to be able to even use the site at all....

Good luck getting this fixed.

Virus spam ads going crazy today on this site. Without blocking them, there would be no way to read the forum at all from my phone.
