I had this one on March 15. Since then I've had 2 blocked attempts.

I get this so often I just don’t come here much anymore. I miss our community but back to reddit for me. :(

Well, they are back. I have been getting constant “Dear Apple User” pop-ups (always in a new “(1) Reward Pending” window/tab in Safari on iOS 12.1 with the “Block Pop-ups” setting turned on) from happy.uslucky.xyz over the past few days. It happens randomly but regularly as soon as a thread or subforum page loads.

This one’s been brutal today.

Yeah, same here. Happened every time I clicked a link last night on my phone; gave up after the 4th time and left the site.

I’m not seeing any of this shit, and haven’t for ages.

Maybe it’s because I’m running two ad blockers?

Are you browsing via Safari on iOS?

Hey guys, I'll raise this to tech! When you post a screenshot can you please provide your browser, country, and device information. Thanks for your patience!

Noonan 03-27-19 12:07 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
I assumed this particular ad was specific to iOS/Safari. It does not happen to me on Safari via my MacBook; only when I'm on my phone.

Safari, United States, iPhone SE (it has now happened under both iOS 12.1 and 12.2 as of earlier this evening).

Your mobile forum keeps redirecting me to stupid spam site mentioned above. It's been doing that for weeks now.

Draven 04-08-19 09:09 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
Came here to complain and got redirected when I clicked this thread. iOS 12.2 and Chrome.

And keeps continuing to do that. Even as I attempt to post this comment. I've had to close the browser 3 more times. Basically an add loads and Bam !

Guess I will have to stay off for a while to see if when I come back it improves. If not I will have to step away for some days till thes attacks are gone.

Noonan 04-15-19 02:30 PM

I gave up trying to reach this site on mobile a few weeks back.

The Cow 04-15-19 02:31 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
I'm one of the ones that complained about the problems a while ago, but I have had no problems at all in the last several months. Using iOS and Chrome.

Getting hit hard this morning with redirects using an android cell phone. I am certain it is not malware on my phone because this site is the only one with the redirects.

Kevin Phillips 04-27-19 12:26 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
I don't know how Android and chrome work under the hood. This site was all-but-unreadable. I disabled chrome on my phone, which also removed the most recently installed version, and also cleared out all its data. Then I re-enabled Chrome and updated back to the most recent version. All is well now. All I can guess is that something bad got cached somewhere, and it kept going to that bad/cached data.

EDIT: Nope. They're still hitting me. Maybe it is my phone. But if it is, I have no idea why it is only this site.

b2net 04-27-19 01:11 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
It's not your phone. I've been hit today also. I didn't take any screenshots this time.

b2net 04-27-19 01:15 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
And now seconds later. The fact it shows the DVD Talk url and states deceptive site will be bad for traffic here.

Getting hit so hard can barely use the site now.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
Haven't seen it in a long time, thought my settings were blocking these, but I'm getting them again today also.

I’ve been hit with this one no less than six times in the past five minutes. Still using Safari under iOS 12.2.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
^ I’m getting the exact same thing. It’s so bad I can’t even make a post. It took about a dozen times before I finally got through for this one.

I’m also using Safari with iOS 12.2

Mike86 05-02-19 09:43 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
Same thing here. Using Safari on an iPhone running iOS 12.2.

Draven 05-02-19 10:51 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
Oh good it’s back - Chrome with iOS 12.2. Happened as I clicked on this thread to report it.

Same here. The site was completely unusable last night via mobile.

Josh-da-man 05-03-19 02:23 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
I’m using iOS 11.4.1 with Safari, and NeverAds and AdGuard enabled and I haven’t gotten hit with this crap in ages.

You guys getting hit with these redirects might want to clear your cookies, cache, and history, and then install an ad blocker or two.

Meathead 05-04-19 08:00 AM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
Same problem last night. Looks like IB has gone back to ignoring the issue as they haven't commented in this thread in over a month.

IB_Villalobos 05-06-19 02:11 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
Our tech team is still looking into a solution.

b2net 05-18-19 10:08 PM

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
And here we go again. My phone and browser are the same and have not changed since last time I reported those details, except maybe updated software.

I was on this page:

... and something tried to load https://dwnld dot icu which set off both of my antivirus and antimalware programs.

Thanks Red Hood and Meathead. I'll report to tech.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
 
I have been getting popup blocks for a while now. Almost always in the Streaming Talk threads. I think I've finally found the culprit. It seems to be when there is a Peacock ad. I've spotted that ad multiple times when getting the popup blocks.

Ugh, this again. Thanks b2net, I'll report to the proper people.

Happening again. Interesting that the ad is for Peacock again

Still getting these every once in a while. And it seems almost every time a Peacock ad is there.

Hopefully something gets figured out. It is happening more frequently. If I scrolled down past the Peacock one it kept counting up popup blocks. I did however also see another ad below it but couldn't get it to show well enough with the popup to get a screenshot.
