Not sure if it's my phone or the BBS, but everytime I open up a thread I'm redirected to a website for candy crush and/or the app store. Anyone else having this problem or is it me?
I'm now getting a bottom banner ad for Petsmart that pops up on every page, meaning you have to kill it on every page. Annoying, but I'll put up with it if that's what Clutch intended.
Yeah I don't know what's happened lately, but the scripts and stuff are killing me. Wigs out constantly in firefox, redirects on my cellphone...
It is definitely out of control today. Really frustrating on a day after such a game. Getting the redirects to the App Store as well as a rectangular overlay that moves with the screen.
How many of you are using the mobile style? Ive been cruising thru the board on and off most of the morning and haven't seen anything but I'm on desktop chrome.
I did not realize there was a mobile style, but when I access the board through chrome on my phone, I'm also getting redirected to something. I just quickly exit.
I've had ongoing issues with the ear shattering auto-play ads that just explode out of nowhere. Had one occurrence today the video ad that kept scrolling the page to it. Repeatedly. This happened a week or so ago with me and some others. I'm using chrome desktop.
I'm sorry you guys experienced this. I've not run into any issues at all. The ones listed here are various (popup, autoplay video, redirects), but I've removed an ad network completely (which will hurt) to see if this helps. Please do let me know if this improves whatever you were experiencing. If you run into an issue, please let me know what style you are using and a screencap would be nice as well. Thanks.
I'm using the dark theme. Just got it before reading your entire post so I didn't get a screen grab. I'll try to next time. I have a feeling it's not your ad network, and I'd encourage you to continue to use it. Just a hunch, but I don't think you should screw yourself over over this. Especially during a busy time. It's probably some sort of something that a Clippers fan has done to the site. I just noticed it after the comeback. I'll change the theme to see if that helps. Edit: I PMed you screen caps.
I am still getting the Ad King/Candy Crush redirect and then opening in the App Store. On my iPad and iPhone in dark mode.
My brother who's a tech guy says it's a flaw with Iphones that allow adware to exploit and auto-redirect mobile users. Nothing you can do to stop it.
But why is it only happening with this site? I have no trouble with anything else but every time I get on here I have at least one redirect at some point. iPhone and iPad. Just happened for about the fourth time today.
I was hoping to prove it was just a few posters and then to make fun of them, but I tried CF on my mobile and got the same thing. I'm running dark, FWIW and using an iPhone-5. Happened this morning. But at least I crushed rimbaud's score on that game.
