If that's true, then the stream is going to dry up because the people who would even be able to click them can't be on the website more than ten seconds before the ads take over and you have to close the tab.

IB, this has to stop. You have to change this. It is not sustainable. Please listen and please stop it.

I just read about a potential solution that we might be able to try until IB does something about their ad partner. This is for people like me that use the Chrome mobile browser. Open a new tab and type this into the address bar:
chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture

Then, look for "Framebusting requries same-origin or a user gesture" and change the status from "default" to "enabled."

Finally, restart your browser.

Since doing this, I've found that the ads still pop up but they don't hijack your tab. Instead, the ad opens a new tab (or two or three!) which you can close and continue on the site.

I hope this solution works for everyone, it comes from what appears to be a reliable source.

story, your bandaid worked like a charm. My chrome browser is blocking all the bullshit redirects and keeping me here on the site. :up:

Seems like it's working for now, thanks.

Hopefully they get this shit fixed soon.

Hmm. Mine goes to the experimental settings page but that particular one isn’t on there. Weird.

What model phone are you using and do you know the OS version and the Chrome version?

I have 2 phones. My Samsung S8 has the option in Chrome, my iPhone8 does not. It must be an Android fix. :sad:

Huh, learn something new every day. The redirects seem to have stopped again (knock on wood). Let’s hope it stays that way.

Thanks a lot, I stopped going here on my phone and I did this and it works great.

This worked for me, thanks for the solution, Story! :up:

But yeah, this needs to be actually fixed. It's pathetic and has made the site completely unusable on mobile.

Well just got my first take over add on Desktop, not mobile

This nasty looking thing found here:

I was able to do the popups blocker chrome setting suggested in a previous post. Otherwise this site was utterly unusable and rapidly constantly redirecting to the Spam sites...

I was not able to get the beginning of the animated 8ball ad, but here is the end (that i was only able to see after stopping popup hostage redirects).

Typically it is popping 5 or more that are now blocked.

Here is the site it says it is blocking..

Had a bunch of redirects this morning on my phone. Pretty annoying.

Can't say i've encountered this on my desktop any time recently though.

Wanted to post this the other day. Here's the website my browser hijacks are pointing me to:

I don't seem to be getting browser hijacks on iOS, just on Android at this time.

I was using the site via mobile on New Year's Day and I was getting redirected every time I came to the site within 30 seconds or so of browsing. Never had that happen before. It was totally unusable. I managed to setup the blocker thing that story suggested, and then I could browse, but I was getting 3 or 4 notifications of blocked redirects every 30 seconds or so for as long as I browsed the board.

Same here. It's the kind of stuff you'd expect to see on a Russian hack site or something.

Sounds like my experience today. And with that level of attack, I can't imagine anyone who is a loyalist would give up and never come back.

Hammered repeatedly just now on mobile. But I guess whoever runs this site doesn't give a fuck about it anymore.

Yeah, it's been constant redirects to trygiftcard.top today. I just enabled the framebusting feature on my Android phone, so we'll see if that helps going forward.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
I am getting hit by the same ads I reported here days ago. I know I will be hit before the pop-up blocker stops it because of the ad images.

Please fix this. As it has become so much worse these last days I am seeing traffic in the threads I frequent drop to near or absolute zero.
