Is anyone else having problems being redirected to the App Store or mobile adds? The last few days it seems like every time I open the site or a thread I’m getting redirected.

I noticed as well the last couple of days. Will try to look into it but these are a real pain to get to the bottom of. Will keep you guys updated.

Anything we can help with? Screenshots? URLs that it takes us to?

More info the better and can try to track it down. Thanks. If you can get back to the page and see where an ad looks like it didn’t load, that’s helpful, any URLs as well.

When it’s not the AppStore, it’s an Offerpal URL for me.

I’ve gotten Draft Kings, just now I got an Uber one for the app market. When it does to a website it usually just is a blank page it seems, or I’m just clicking back right away. I’ll look going forward.

Yeah its driving me crazy. I’ve gotten uber, draft kings and some others

btw, this has been happening for a while, not just recently. Every time you guys post a link on twitter, I click it, then after reading a few sentences get redirected to the app store. sounds like there’s not much that can be done http://readwrite.com/2014/05/15/app-redirects-mobile-spam-ads

I get re-directed frequently from Iphone, but haven’t noticed a redirect from Ipad

http://ads.mobvertising.net/mobiledirect/?aid=34694&uid=1669&cwsid=MTQzMjIzNDgwMGE1NTVlMTA1MGEzYmMxOTQzNDE2NDQw&j=1 is terrorizing my phone. It’s nearly impossible to browse the forums without being redirected.

17

Agreed. I can’t even sign-in to my account because of the redirects. So frustrating.

18

This site must have a lot going on because my computer really gets bogged down every single time I am on it. In fact at times I am forced to restart.

19

On the forum? It shouldn’t really have much affect on your computer at all. Shoot me an email with some details.

Also passed along more domains to some of our ad networks to try to stop the problem. It is a constant battle.
