[Technical Issue] Crippling Amount of Pop-Ups

[The Necromancer]

Am I the only one constantly being redirected to an advertising or spam page?

Whether it's from the homepage (which also always advertises sexual or provocative websites even after clearing my cache and cookies multiple times) or from any thread, I am always immediately redirected to one of these bullshit spam sites multiple times.

This forum is the only site I have this problem on, so I know it's the forum itself and not my computer. Even literally as I type this comment I am constantly asked if I want to stay on this page or leave without completing my post. This problem began rather recently with the update to the homepage and the addition of advertisements on the right hand side.

I don't know if this is a technical issue that can be addressed and fixed, but it is making this forum unbearable and unusable, and I'm sure I can't be the only one with this issue.



-EDIT- I will keep an updated list of the sites I have been directed to in the very brief amount of time this thread will be active.

1. AT&T survey group
2. Adobe Flash Player Update website (fake)

No, you aren't the only I am getting re-directs also. In the mean time you download an ad block and and sent a screenshot to Zise about the re-directs and ads.

What does sending him a screanshot do? It sounds like you're saying he already knows about the issue?

Doesn't sound like that will help then, but I suppose this thread is answered.

I am sorry about the issues you are having but the best to do is get an ad block for now until they fix this issue.

I have adblock, so I don't see em, whenever my adblock is paused, I get some kinky stuff, so it's all good.

:Sparks:

Happens to me too. I get redirected to a page saying I have 33 viruses. Either that, or ask me if I want to take part in some contest.

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

Seriously though, why no adblock?

you probably have viruses. Download Adwcleaner and Adblock Plus for your browser. Also download malwarebytes and delete it after you run a scan. Also clean up your extensions on your browser. And check for any weird programs you didnt install

This issue has been answered many times before. The current ad network we have to use for ads seems to have some issues with their clients adding code into their ads, as some of the ads are local and specific for the area you are in it helps with a screenshot so that it can be identified and removed.
