    Sorry if this has been posted previously or it's just me and my stupidity. I do have a seriously cracked screen which isn't always 100% on touch.

    That said the BBS is randomly redirecting me to a new link that then ask to open the App Store but doesn't really because it automatically opens the App Store. The only way to prevent any of it is to hit back really quick.

    Anyone else experiencing this or have suggestion?

    Thanks!! BBS is otherwise great as always :)

    I have this same issue. Redirects me all the time when I'm on my iPhone. I constantly have to close out and re-open the site.

    Have had that a lot as well. Something fishy in the ad network.

    Download a Safari content blocker like 1Blocker or Purify.

    This happens to me as well. Not everyday but probably weekly. Only happens on clutchfans. I also get logged out fairly often which only happens on the iPhone.

    I second this. I have to make sure I'm not accidentally pressing anything but it seems to occur while the page is loading.

    For reference, I use Chrome on my iPhone 5S.

    Ok, so just a heads up this problem is getting worse.

    And now there is a ransomware webpage coming up thats "locks" your browser and demands that you buy an iTunes gift card and make a $100 payment to get your browser unlocked. It says failure to do so will result in a larger fine or FBI involvement.

    Most will probably know it's BS, however it really does lock you into the web page. Even if you force close safari if it opens back up to that web page it locks you in. An error window keeps popping up and you can't do anything because as soon as you close it it opens again.

    The way I got around it was using force touch I clicked on safari and opened a new web page. Then I brought up all the pages I had open and I closed that ransomware page. There are probably other ways to get the web page closed but that's what I did.
