Dodgy website redirect.
Hey, has anyone had an issue recently where the site would try and redirect you to a really dodgy site from the front page? I've just tried to visit the site from my phone and its almost loaded some of those scam sites twice now. Just wanna know if this is only an issue on my end so I can make sure my phone doesn't have some virus. It's only been happening with this site so I have a suspicion that something might be wrong.

Always happens on my phone. I always thought of screenshoting it but I imagine it's normal, visiting sites like this without adblock.

Had never happened to me before, and now I can't open a post here on my phone. Great.

nothing on my end, went to the page with the visitor counter and nothing; went to posts and nothing

so, either I got lucky, my ad blocker blocked it, or the mods fixed it

just glad this place isn't like Wikia, I get so many redirects there

I also get that on my phone. PC is fine though.

I did get this when i tried to get to a post from an external site via a link, couldn't get to the post without the pop-up

I'm always on incog but I have noticed the "pop-up blocked" notif happening when I go to the front page, so it might be the same problem. Hope it's not another XSS.

Yeah, I frequently find that this site forces me onto another "ad" page when I go to the front page on my phone.

I get it on my phone on occasion when I'm not connected to a saved wifi network. But just now, it's started on my desktop. Thankfully I have an anti-phishing blocker with my anti-virus software. Still, this just started today, and hearing that this was popping up about two weeks ago concerns me.

Yeah, i've been getting them again on my mobile but I think they've stopped. It seems these pop ups come and go for a bit every few weeks or so with no explanation why. I've yet to encounter them on the desktop site but it's happened on my phone on 5 sepperate occasions.

I've been getting constant popups too the last few days, if it's needed for ad revenue I get it, but it would be nice to know it's coming and not something wrong with the site or the ad companies

I've been getting them lately everytime I click something on the site, even if it's for revenue it is really bothering me because I can't look at any image without a popup showing up, I understand the need for ads and I'm not bothered by the ads on the side of the page but if these pop ups keep showing up I might need to use adblocker.

Update to what I said before: getting redirects now. Still on incog, but whenever I click on an image for the first time I get a redirect. After that, if I get back to the front page by the "Posts" button, no issue, but if I just use the browser back button I'll get it on the next thing I click. Does anyone know if this is intentional?

Actually I think it's an invisible, misplaced ad. I'm getting moved when I click something.
