Barnacle 9,064 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I started having this problem yesterday, and it has persisted today. Either by entering the web address into my browser, or through clicking on links to threads or posts on this site, I get automatically rerouted to these pop-up advertising pages. The pages I get rerouted to are all of the "congratulations, you've been selected to when a free iPhone" variety. I'm only noticing it on my phone, and I'm only noticing it when visiting aufamily. It happened two or three times yesterday and it's already happened four or five times today. Not sure if it is a problem with my phone or browser or what.

jared52 4,354 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 It's an ad on the site and it can be annoying. Sort of the price we pay for a free forum like this. I wish the ad sites would stop it because it's everywhere on the internet and makes browsing some sites impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the sort of page that doesn't allow you to back out of. You have to type in the address again the browser to get back to where you were. Pop ups are one thing, but being directed to another web page is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDub 10,994 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Here's the ad. Here's my browsing history. Normally sends me through more redirects than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
