KingMance Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Every time I click a link I'm also getting annoying pop-ups and cannot go back to the page. Android user here. Started yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 More info needed. URLs would be best, more information fo what they're leading to is acceptable. I really can't do anything with "I see pop-ups." Like, zero, and I'd like to because they're obviously annoying and not something we want. But you guys need to help out by giving me concrete information. We serve many hundreds of thousands of ads on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We serve many hundreds of thousands of ads on a daily basis. Copied the URL that I was redirected to the last time it happened (it's becoming more frequent now). In spoiler tags to avoid accidental clicks. Open at your own risk and all that: Edit: the URL has some potentially identifying info in it, gonna PM to Ran instead. ETA: clicking the link doesn't go to the same page that shows when the redirect happens so I don't know how useful this is.

Argonath Diver Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) I haven't been able to use the site through my phone's chrome browser for days, due to immediately being redirected to links. The current one has a fake Google Play background and a graphic saying "YOU ARE THE CHOSEN!". It's much less awful than yesterday's, which caused my phone to vibrate non-stop until I force-quit chrome entirely. The domain link is to kusvlhhquo.xyz, with part of the code saying "city=___", which is my town. So it's identifying my area, even though my GPS locator is off. I'm typing this from my PC while looking at the phone, but the generated link shows my phone service, Android OS number, and home town, so I'd rather not link the whole thing anyway. Edit: That was from my bookmark for the Literature forum. If I go simply to the home page, it immediately re-directs me to ohytx.net (again with a long string of identifying code after the domain name), and that one is the awful vibrating link. I hope whatever ad is causing this is solved soon! Good luck, guys. Edited April 17, 2017 by Argonath Diver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Ran, It is a re-direct to the same "you're a winner" website that was the problem last time. It is only on iPhone for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thanks for the reports, everyone. Should have most of these blocked now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I'm having a weird problem with the search feature. It works if I don't use any of the options and just type in the box and hit enter. But if I try to select "topics" (as opposed to articles) and "titles only" and select a specific forum to search I get a "Please wait X seconds before attempting another search" message regardless of how long it's been since my last search attempt.

Linda Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Sorry, no it isn't. It blew up badly last time we tried to install it. We may try again once we have completed some other upgrades, but they are taking a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiriki Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Is there a way to turn the board code back on? There used to be a setting where you could click a button to see UBB-style code, and break up a long quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BlackBear Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Sorry for posting here, just testing that I can. For some reason I can't post in the Guardians of the Galaxy thread. Edited May 4, 2017 by The BlackBear Huh, looks like I can, weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 There's an obnoxious Google video ad that pops up at the top and bottom of the thread. It insists on playing, won't pause or stop and I can't scroll away from it to post. Obviously, highly annoying. I have to refresh the screen until it vanishes and is replaced by a passive text ad.

Ran Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I need a url or something. If you can Inspect Page in your browser and then look up the element, that ought to provide code that allows us to get it blocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) When you say you can't post, do you get any sort of message? Does anything in particular happen or not happen? Does it let you write a post but not submit it? Also, what device are you using (Mac, PC, tablet, etc.), what operating system, and what browser? ETA: Also, it would be helpful if you linked the thread in question. There are lots and lots of threads on the forum and it's not always easy to find a particular thread just by its title.
