Ads redirecting on mobile
 
On iPhone using Safari, and these ads are redirecting me to various sites including cam girls. It only happens here, gamefaqs.com, and politico.com for me—no other sites—so whatever ad network you guys are using has a shady ad that needs to be reported.

Thanks Breakfast! I'll get this reported. Were you on mobile skin or full? And was it an automatic redirect, without clicking on anything?

Great, thanks. Mobile and automatic redirect.

I don't get directed to a cam girl site but I sure do get hit with scamming supposed virus hits coming from some ads that load while in here and only when on this site. It is becoming very hard to use the mobile site as I have to completely kill the browser each time it happens....

b2net, Thanks for the info. I'll add this to the tech ticket. Always helps to have more evidence!

I hardly use the mobile skin (also iOS) due to frequent redirecting.

I would love to provide evidence... The issue is when it happens it takes over the browser blasting the vibrate mode with panic pop-ups... Can't get passed that without killing browser...

I will try to get something if possible...

Btw, I am using chrome browser on an Android phone...

Would anyone happen to notice which ads that are on the page when this occurs?

Can someone post pics of said "cam girls"?

P.S. I'm a mod and want to get right to the bottom of this.

I have been getting that for a while here. The site it redirects to is luckyyou.mobi, which is about winning some prize. Also on chrome for mobile in android.

I got hit with one of those last week; I also had to kill the browser to clear it.

I get hit with the same when using the site on my Kindle Fire. Never have this issue on my laptop.

Why does this pop up on iPhone on this site?

Every time I pop into a thread this pops up like an annoying ad that can't get rid of. I can understand on PC, but never had such a malware on phone...

VinVega 09-11-16 08:27 PM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
Oldboy, I merged your post with this thread. Seems to be on the same topic. I get the crappy redirects too on both Android and iPhone.

bunkaroo 09-12-16 09:51 AM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
Also getting the redirects Oldboy posted. Seemed more common on the random image thread in Otter.

I keep getting the same ad as OldBoy. It's making the mobile site unusable

Website Redirect Issues
 
Hello,

I've been experiencing issues lately when using the website on my iPhone where I'll constantly get redirected to a page telling me that I've won some sort of prize. It's been happening a lot lately over the past week or so and is really irritating as I pretty much have to constantly close the tab and open a new one but even then a lot of times it'll still happen. I have pop ups blocked on Safari on my phone but it's still a pretty consistent issue. This is the only website I regularly frequent where this happens. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing?

Edit: it just happened again after I posted this thread. Irritating as hell.

OldBoy 09-14-16 04:53 PM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
This ad redirect stuff is getting hella annoying...

Superman07 09-14-16 09:26 PM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
Add me to the list. Happening on my iPhone and iPad. I have not tried switching to the desktop site.

VinVega 09-14-16 09:29 PM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
I got the camgirl crap on my iPhone today. :doh:'

PM'd IB about it.

Our tech guys are on this. They've managed to replicate it (I couldn't) and are currently working on resolving it.

Mike86 09-15-16 02:09 PM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
Hasn't been happening to me today so far. :thumbsup:

We think it was an issue with an ad partner, and we are still making sure.

Me too...not even clicking on anything...just reading a thread and BAM - I get this re-direct. This has been happening consistently for about a week now. I think you guys have been hacked.

I'm using browsers and this ad redirect thing is happening often as well. As soon as I click a thread to enter a topic, it would immediately redirect to an ad. I would have to use the back arrow to go back 2 pages else the ad keeps loading itself with only backspace.

I am using firefox, and most of the ad redirects seem to occur with threads in TV talk (for me at least).

Still happening to me too. 3 times today on Chrome for iOS.

Once yesterday. Tried to redirect me to a gamers ad or something while clicking on a thread in the political forum. I'm using firefox.

RichC2 01-05-17 09:00 PM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
I had the following URL redirect a few times today: http://webpromotionsusa.com/?Flow=6b...erTM&DVID=3322

Cardsfan111 01-05-17 09:04 PM

^ Same. Just did it a few minutes ago.

Just got one in Conan thread. Fucking fix this IB!

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
And this has just turned absolutely offensive now...

http://imgur.com/a/Ejgdd

These bastards redirect you 12+ times such that you can't even get away with a backspace anymore.

To add insult to injury, it happened again when I clicked on this very page!

Adam Tyner 01-05-17 10:10 PM

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED
 
Ugh, I'm getting that WebPromotionsUSA thing too. Strangely, the other redirects were always immediate; for this one, I was leisurely reading through a thread and had scrolled down a good bit of the way through the page before it triggered. It's happened to me three times in the past 15 minutes.
