And we are all rich from winning money every day! :banana:

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

Here's today for me:

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I actually had a call with IB last night. This was one of the topics. My understanding is that this is coming from the ad company that produces all the ads. If they run out of ad space they farm it out to another sub contractor who produces ads. I'm guessing some of these are how shall we say, questionable at best. IB can report the bad ads to the ad company and they are supposed to take them down. That is the best we can do for now.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

Time for a new ad company. Telling the users we have to live with takeover ads isn't acceptable.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

:up:

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

That is some horse shit right there.

Ads that pop up on a new tab are shit.

Ads that pop up on the current tab, making it impossible to go back to the site you're on without clicking on the ad (potentially causing bigger problems), or being forced to shut the browser down, reopen it, and quickly close the ad before it gets a chance to load again is garbage-tier amateur horse shit for the worst of the scummy sites of the internet.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I can't imagine this really attracts more users to this site nor inspires those here to stay. I hope it gets fixed soon as this is my #1 go-to site..


And btw I just got nailed again minutes ago... Sucks !

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

Yup, it's getting worse lately. Gotta make it stop ASAP.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I get it every few days. Still coming here, but choosing reddit more often now. Bummer.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

This site is run by a bunch of kindergarteners. :lol:

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

Here's another from a couple minutes ago. I'm tired of winning. We are way beyond ridiculous now.

:down: :down: :down: :down: :down:

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I haven't gotten one of these in a week or so.

I wonder how long it will be before we start getting those iOS ads that use javascript to seize your browser, claim that they're the FBI and have found illegal content on my iPad/iPhone, and I'll be arrested if I don't buy a $300 Green Dot card and give them the number. :lol:

(Those were a pain in the ass. Finally found out that to unfreeze iOS all I had to do was disable javascript.)

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

2 more take over ads in a row just now. I just deleted the bookmark on my phone. Not worth it to browse the site on mobile.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

Literally just got another one while coming to this very thread. Fuck this.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

What I do on my S7 is hit the home button, open active apps, and close the browser. I reopen my bookmark and go back to reading about everyone's opinions on our new national political nightmare.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

Just tried to visit via mobile but using the full site. Still got a take over. Fuck all this.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

This may very well be the end of this site if more people get ticked and don't come back... I wish they would fix this soon....

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

Just got another one. Daily occurence.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

Just adding that DVDTalk is impossible to use on mobile due to the hijack.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I get it once a day on average.

Anyone remember The Sixth Sense ad debacle?

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I just got a microsoft warning with a voice over and a popup saying that my computer has been infected and it wanted me to click on the box. I went into task manager and closed out all of my windows, as it would not even give me the opportunity to close the tab.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

Just got it again.

I vaguely remember The Sixth Sense one. Wasn't there another that had screaming on it?

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I normally don't post via my phone, but I have skimmed through threads.

But, now the mobile site is practically unreadable with these new "Ads" popping up. I'm afraid that my phone will get some kind of virus, so I have stopped using the mobile site.

I don't have any issues using my iPad though.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

Still getting those ads. Unacceptable!

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

Nothing like searching for new posts, getting a spam ad, killing it, opening up the site in a new window, searching for new posts and being told I didn't wait long enough in between searches. :lol: WTF

There is zero chance IB isn't getting paid for these ads. No way it goes this long without being fixed.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

:thumbsup:

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I got 3 more browser hijack ads tonight on mobile. I PM'd IB about it again. I wish I had the juice to turn it off guys.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I just got one for the first time in a few days.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

Twice tonight.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I think the most frustrating thing about these ads is they're blatant lies. Your phone is hacked. Your passwords aren't secure. Your browser is compromised. They're all predatory lies. Why are we in bed with these ads? How is this good hospitality to new people? How is this not insulting to current members? I'm very disappointed these are still happening and for the style of the message.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I haven't had one of these since about Jan. 16.

Has anyone else not been getting these?

I'm using an iPad Air 1, Safari, with no adblocker active.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I just got one on my phone clicking on this thread!

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

The latest takeover ad:

http://i.imgur.com/0RQc5Fu.jpg

No kidding.

I think at this point it's become evident that one of three possibilities is occurring: either Internet Brands is complicit in these takeover ads, it's not worth their time to manage the site, or both.

Any of these is unacceptable. This problem has a very simple solution: switch ad partners. This solution seems to have eluded Internet Brands, and when something very obvious continues to elude, in my experience it usually means there's a vested interest in not seeing the solution.

I've already been using DVD Talk a lot less than before as a result of these ads, but I've just deleted the bookmark on my phone. I'm going to try to seek out a community where the people running the site actually use the site and care what happens to it. This, clearly, is not it.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I certainly won't be using any dvdtalk referral links until they fix this issue.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I've stopped visiting from the phone and ipad, it's unacceptable.

And i agree with Trevor, no more shopping through the referral links until it's fixed.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

And so starts the beginning of the end.... Sad to say it...

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

These "ad" sites are actually virus sites. That's not a legitimate business. I certainly would not do business with someone who maintains these practices. A few extra bucks is not worth the bad will that's happening here.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

Not sure if it's related or not, but I've been just browsing like I normally do, open links in new tabs, and this morning, got a few that showed up as this instead of the links I clicked.

I just clicked the back button, and it took me to the thread I opened up. Thankfully work had blocked it anyways.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

I was discussing this with Adam Tyner and he suggested that the site software may actually have been compromised, which I hadn't considered. Internet Brands should investigate that possibility, or give a trusted DVD Talk user with technical skills the ability to look into it.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 

As if they care. :lol:
