Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

I’ve had some occasional iOS hijaaks the last few days, after a few weeks of peace.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Here is the same ad with the same attempted redirect hitting me in the thread where we are discussing ads that cause redirects.. I've shared this particular culprit many times.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Damn, 6 pop ups and a redirect on one page in political memes. Chrome trick posted before working over time

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Was it this ad... Because any time I see this one, it is 4, 6, or 8 blocked redirects... No matter which thread I am in... Getting ridiculous again..

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Yup that's the one.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

We were good for a while there, weren't we? :( I'll report these

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Yes it was good for a while but then the redirects began to creep back..

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Found this ad to be odd....

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Than while coming here to post the odd one... Bam... Another popup blocked. This URL is not one I remember...

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Several ads today appear to be running cryptocurrency miners or something that caused my CPU cores to spike really huge.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Not to jinx myself, but I haven't had any of these redirects on my phone in quite awhile now.

(iPhone w/ Chrome)

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Happened again today until the Chrome tab ran out of memory and crashed.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Later yesterday, we put a 3rd party blocker on all sites in our division and it should stop redirect completely. As for high-memory regular ads, we are currently working on those.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Again, on 4 different tabs today. It was causing CPU usage to max out about 6 cores. And each tab was using over 3GB of RAM before they crashed.

I was able to use Chrome Task Manager to identify one of the offending tabs (the other 3 had crashed already). I took a screenshot. As you can see, the ads didn't even load properly in the tab. They're just sucking down CPU and RAM.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

I'm now experiencing videos that won't allow me to scroll past them. I scroll down and it snaps back up to them. Chrome on Android.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

The thread title only refers to mobile options, but for the last few days the site has been redirecting my browser to one of those "you have a virus" pages that have audio and will not let you close them.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Thanks guys, I'll report all these ads to our team. The cryptocurrency ones are particularly disturbing. Bang, thanks for the screenshot. b2net and mickey, can you post some of what you're seeing? b2net, I know it's hard to showthat you can't scroll past something, since that requires video, but maybe if it's disturbing text/content? Are you both browsing in the US/through US IPs?

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

So far I haven't noticed if it is disturbing content as I don't watch it as I am trying to scroll past it. Browsing in the US using either Verizon's network or on my employer's local WiFi (when there is too much congestion on Verizon's network). I am 98%+ on Verizon's network.

:lol:

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

I was ads-redirected several times last year November. I took some time out hoping this annoying issue got fixed. So far so good.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

It has been good for so long.... But this today...

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Gah! It was a good three months. I've spoken to our ads manager, and while we can't stop these completely, it shouldn't be a recurring problem, as it was.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

It has only happened to me twice in 3 months. When it happened this second time, I figured I'd post just in case there is a way these are sneaking in again.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

It’s happening to me a lot today.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Could you post a screenshot? About how often would you say you're getting them?

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Getting this crap regularly today. Super annoying. Even clicking Cancel redirects to the shitty website.
Is it because I made fun of the anti-Handbrake ad?

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Hi Dan, definitely shouldn't be happening since we installed some 3rd-party redirect-blocking software, but unfortunately some can slip through. I will alert tech/ads.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

This has been happening to me at least once a day on mobile. I can't imagine that's simply an add "slipping through".

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

We don't know it's happening if no one speaks up. I apologize that it's been occurring. Do your always look like the one Dan posted?

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

I’m getting hammered today ... it’s opening a new tab and sending me to this link. (Adding spaces so it won’t provide a clickable link.)

I noticed this morning was the first time in a very long time that I was forced to the mobile site (I don’t ever use the mobile site) and now I’m getting pounded every time I change pages in a thread.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

^ Same here. It did it twice while I was trying to open this thread.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

New link popping up:

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Getting this CONSTANTLY. Super annoying.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

^^ Yeah I'm getting that too on IPad. It's unusable.

By the way, I won a $1000 GC from Walmart. :lol:

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Back for me too (iOS and Chrome browser).

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 

Thanks guys, I'll inform tech/ad ops
