Wow. I just won some Amazon Gift Cards also. We must have the best luck.

I keep getting kicked to a go.goadvs website (or something like that). Will this madness ever end?!

About 1 out of 3 times for me now (on mobile), I've been chosen for a great prize.

I continue to get browser hijacks on desktop when in Incognito mode. I haven't gotten any recently when logged in properly.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but I browsed for a bit on Firefox with UBlock Origins and I got no popups or annoyances. I think before with Chrome I did get problems on my phone.

Same thing with desktops, but I have more protection there.

Almost completely unusable on mobile again. Wish this would stop.

This is some real bullshit. Is this a reputable site or one I should just abandon? Can barely look at the forums before being hijacked into free gift cards or other crap. Can't back out, have to close the tab and start over.

Same thing is happening on my iPad.

What browser are you using? I have the same problem with Chrome, and am wondering if a different browser might help.

Wolf359 07-02-17 12:30 AM

I'm using Chrome as well.

Psi 07-02-17 02:18 PM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
I've been tempted to try another browser, but I keep coming back to Chrome because it lets me sync up across all my devices.

Still ridiculous, but this is a new one for me.

Edit: removed because Photobucket apparently doesn't allow 3rd party hosting of pics any longer. (Yes, it was iOS with Chrome)

Looks like that's on iOS, correct? I'll hand this over to tech.

Just got this while sitting idle IN THIS VERY THREAD.

Trying to close the tab brought up a shady-as-fuck "do you really want to leave this page" window.

OS: Windows 7 Enterprise (yes, all security updates installed)
Browser: Chrome 59.0.3071.115

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
Fucking shit.
On mobile. Iphone & chrome.
Just got a redirect to another site. Not going to click on their bullshit, so closed Chrome and reopened it. Usually, I can click the Tabs button and close the ad before it reloads. But this one loads so fast, that it took me damn near 15 times to close Chrome, reopen, and click Tabs fast enough to stop it from taking over the browser again. Not cool.

Bullshit.

I just got a redirect telling me my phone is infected. Quite frustrating.

Same here. I rarely try and browse the site with my phone, and this will lead me to keep it that way. Can anything be done by the admins to prevent these crazy pop-ups?

Got hit in main part of TV forum, not in thread. One of those Amazon gift card ones.

Josh-da-man 07-25-17 04:46 AM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
Been getting hit with this "lucky winner" shit all night on the forums. (iPad IOS)

Strangely enough, I was hit first on another site (thedailybeast, I think) and I've gotten it again three or four times on the forum here. Possible cookie issue?

Josh-da-man 07-25-17 04:48 AM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
...and again when I entered forum.dvdtalk.com. The redirect is ingmatic.com, if that helps.

Josh-da-man 07-25-17 05:10 AM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
These ingmatic things kept popping up everytime I clicked on a thread or opened a thread in a tab here, rendering the forum unusable.

I tried to enable "restricted sites" and added ingmatic to the list, but that didn't work. It just redirected to a blank screen that said it was disabled.

After disabling restricted sites I enabled the NeverAds app I have and that seemed to do the trick. I don't really like NeverAds because it occasionally interferes with the functionality of some webpages, but it looks like I'll need to use it for the time being.

Re: Yet another Ad issue (autoplaying audio and video)
 
I keep getting auto redirected to some "congrats" you've won a $1k gift card. Can hardly use the site.

On iPhone Safari.

Trevor 07-25-17 07:42 AM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
Opened up this thread in a tab to report that I've actually had a week or so without hijaaks, and the thread gets hijaaked. This usually signals that it'll now happen multiple times this morning, until I give up and go to another forum.

Can't get to this place on my phone AT ALL without this bullshit happening now.

Decker 07-25-17 10:17 AM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
Yup, forum is impossible to navigate on an iPad. Make it stop, people.

Trevor 07-25-17 10:22 AM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
Tempting fate here, but to follow-up on my post an hour or two ago:

Yep, forum became completely unusable. Almost every click was getting the takeover.

This was iOS Safari, full site, not that crappy mobile version.

I switched to iOS Chrome and the first dozen or so tabs have been ok so far.

Damfino 07-25-17 10:29 AM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
On my fifth attempt in this thread, I just might get a post in without being hijacked!

Damfino 07-25-17 10:30 AM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
Possibly fixed now? Probably only temporary.

Damfino 07-25-17 10:33 AM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
No, not fixed. Got hijacked again after last post. I'm out of here for a while.

Yeah, I kept getting the same thing this morning so I googled that site and found another forum complaining about it, and someone said iBobi would look into it. Another IB site, I presume.

I can only use this site on my laptop.

Josh-da-man 07-25-17 10:17 PM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
If you're on iOS, NeverAds seems to stop the redirects. They stopped immediately after I turned it on.

I know ad blockers are frowned upon, but when the ads are making the forum unusable, it's either that or stop coming here.

Ok, so I'm back after taking 2 weeks off. Why am I not surprised that IB is ignoring this thread? Why have a feedback forum anyway?

I have installed NeverAds and so far so good. Thanks for the tip.

IBrshao 08-07-17 11:55 AM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
Thanks guys. We're trying to swat the ads down as we see them but they are being fed by our ad networks and it is a little dicey getting them removed. Keep posting screenshots. This is the best way for us to combat them atm.

TheBang 08-10-17 09:24 PM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
If it keeps happening all the time with this ad network, is it time to maybe try to find a better ad network? Surely the amount of time you're spending fielding complaints and playing whack-a-mole with ads you don't even control and the amount of eyeballs and engagement time you're losing on this site (and I assume others) because of this problem that is getting no resolution from your ad network is worth more than whatever cost you might incur by choosing a different, better ad network partner?

The amount of time they spend on our complaints? Surely you jest.

This thread is a year old and it's only gotten worse.

Right on the money. I imagine the next IB meeting about this site will be along the lines of...

http://i.imgur.com/k3exywj.jpg

Ray Hott: Good afternoon, Mr. Roque. Her name is Camilla Rhodes. The director doesn't want her. Do you want him replaced? I know they said...
[pause]
Mr. Roque: Then...
Ray Hott: Then that means we should...
[pause]
Mr. Roque: Yes?
Ray Hott: Shut everything down. Is that something that... You want us to shut everything down?
Then we'll shut everything down.

Yeah, it was a joke. Kind of like their response to our complaints.

This is the scareware ads I'm getting now on iOS:
