We think it's a malware ad being served to us by accident. Have notified the ad network. IF anyone can capture information -- which ad appears when this happen, any HTTP addresses related to them, etc., that'd be helpful.

It hasn't happened today. Happened 10-12 times last night. It didn't let me cut and paste the http or IP address, but if I see it again I'll write them down and report.

I have an issue with a current ad on the site - a betting one (no idea if the adverts are supposed to be smart, but I keep getting gambling and smoking ones - I do neither). A William Hill one keeps opening up the AppStore in my ipad and rendering the forum nearly unusable.

I'm posting this from my mobile connection because I am unable to even view the forums on my PC. I only get a message that I don't have permission for that and that I am not allowed to visit this community.

I realize I am just a lurker but I am at a loss as to why I would be IP banned on my home connection.

Please help!

Targh,

I've contacted our advertising partners. In fact, I've noticed a proliferation of gambling ads as well and am going to see if we can just get rid of those. Don't have any moral qualms with gambling, but they always give sites a seedy quality.

haakon,

Mail me at [email protected], look at whatismyip.org, and send what your IP address is on your PC. You're probably falling foul of an old IP block.

I don't know if you have done anything or I have just been lucky once out of about 50 tries and been able to load this page without it redireting..



this morning every page/link I have clicked on has automatically re-directed me - normally to the update your flash now although sometimes to other suspisious sites. I've tried on and off for a few hours must have and its done it every time without fail no matter which part of the forum I try to load. (apart from just now when it worked)



Its only the forum that is effecting me. I can look at other sites without any problems. I know you want more speciffic info, but I have not been able to open the forum for long enough to read what you need.

I keep getting this when I try to view various pages on the forum. I'm not sure if that is a problem at my end or with the board.


Also, on the mobile site I am now getting a PayPal ad across the top of the page (but only when I actually use it on my mobile, so I'm struggling to get a print screen)

About the loading problems from a few weeks ago, I also have no more issues, not sure when it went away, suspecting ISP cache refresh (usual time is 48h after all)

Anyway, I wanted to report a weird behaviour on the mobile version: it's not the first time I have it, but I seldom use my phone to access the site anyway, but sometimes, on a page or another, the site refuses to display as the mobile version: the full one tries to load, and it just takes forever. I can try to click "use mobile version" all I want, it does not work... What works, sometimes, is clicking "back" (goes back to previous page and nice mobile theme), waiting some time and reclicking the link. I got it recently when not logged in, multiple times on the main page, opening gen chat and opening lit.

I wonder if one ad could not force the site into full version.
