Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

Hm... you're getting the redirects 2-3 times a day? How often were you getting them, prior to Friday? I'd like to know if our switch made any appreciable difference.

Still getting 2-3 a day. In fact this just occurred. So yes since Friday I am still getting redirects blocked.

And now again.



So basically it is still happening often. Not all the time but many times.

The rate is now increasing to at least once per visit.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

Do you still want us to post as we encounter issues? Cause here is another one. This time the url is hard to make out.

This looks familiar. I've seen this ad and this blocked redirect before.

I'm not sure the "track.googlaappla" is always the same site. Might be an intermediary, I'll check it out.

I was referring to the visual ad that was on the screen when googlappla popped up.

And look at this hit when viewing this thread. 6 popups blocked. I hit and cleared those... Then 8 popups blocked.

And again. If it weren't for the pop-up blocker, I'd be unable to view the site tonight.

Thank you. I often wonder if there is a correlation between the ad I see (or the little one at the bottom of the the threads) to the popups. For instance, are certain ads triggering certain popups.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

Many times when I see the Boden ad, I get multiple hits. Not everytime. And there usually are more than 1 ad per thread.

Never sure if it is the bigger in thread ad or the tinier ad at the bottom of the thread.

But this time both were Boden......

And if there ever is a question of the date time of these, the date and time (military) are in the filename of the screenshots. I am in Eastern time in a state that is observing Daylight Saving Time. And here is another multiple which shows 2 Boden ads.

I have been getting these A LOT lately again, almost consistently on a daily basis. Often multiple times a day.

iOS 11.3 with Safari.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

And often when I see this jobs ad, there is a popup blocked.

Never know if there is just correlation or actual causation...

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

8 pop-ups blocked?! That's got to be a new record. Not a good one, to be sure, but yikes.

Question, that I think DVDTalkers might be able to help me with and might provide a link of some kind? Does anyone here use TV Tropes? Because I get a lot of mobile redirects and blocked pop-ups on that site. Like 2-3 per page, then Chrome blocks them on that page.
