Gun Street Girl Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'm on an iPad, and I'm getting porn sites (from a particular site) popping up every third time I click a link? Doesn't hugely bother me, but I'd still rather this were not the case. Anyone else having this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gun Street Girl Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Actually, it's become a broader variety of sites (mosly Comedy Central), though the same porn one is most frequent, and it is literally ONLY on this site for me. I've selected settings that I thought would avoid this, but it's become common enough that it's impacting my use of the site. It would be nice to be able at least to read the site without being redirected every time I click a link. Very disappointed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've never seen this before, and am rather baffled by it, to be honest. I've looked using an iPad, I've used a couple of malware detectors, and nothing.Are there any links in particular that lead to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've got this too. It's completely random when you open any thread. The thread loads and then a second after the porn pop up appears. It doesn't happen every time I open a thread, mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyron Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I've had a pop up ad too, but for a game I've never played (candy crush). It started not long ago, only happened a few times, and I've only seen it while using my android so I figured it was something to do with google ads or facebook (since I've seen friends playing it on fb). I'll look more closely at it next time, I think it said where it came from. Perhaps my pop up is not the same as the other's though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hrm...Stannis, are you using a tablet or phone as well?And are you guys using the regular skin or the mobile skin? Or perhaps using Tapatalk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gun Street Girl Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Interesting... I'm hardly ever on Facebook, but did log in a week or so ago, for what that's worth. Ads there are usually about breast cancer or knitting, though ;)I'm using the regular skin, if it helps.(Edit: I'll try to figure out if it's something this end, but I'm a bit at a loss here.)

Eyron Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I use the regular skin on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I really have nothing. I can't replicate it and can't find anything suspect in the skin coding at all to suggest something has been injected. Hrm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm using an iPad with the normal skin.Interesting...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm getting the porn site regularly (couple of times a day) too. I'm on an iPhone 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I am quite thoroughly baffled. And you're using the regular skin as well?I have recached the skin, just in csae something had been injected... I have an iPad and I've browsed around and I have simply never gotten the pop up, but if anyone can show some links that consistently lead to it, I will investigate further.

Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Well it could be the Facebook thing. Is anyone else logged in when it happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Winters Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I sometimes get this as well, not all the time but when it happens I just press the back button quickly.I use an iPad, the normal skin whilst not on Facebook.Funny thing is, it happened when I clicked on this thread.

King of Winters Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Well that's one hypothesis rejected I guess. :idea:At first I thought I was accendently pressing the pop-up at the side (between the "CONNECT WITH US" and the "NOTABLE RELEASES" things) because sometimes it didn't load properly. But then I then realised it wasn't that when I made sure not to click it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gun Street Girl Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Absolutely just happened when I clicked this thread to check responses. Some Cemedy Central show again. I'm not on FB; haven't logged in there anytime recently... Tried clearing my cache earlier, but it doesn't seem to have helped.Ran, thank you for taking the time to look at this and sort it out.
