board redirection

[Naomeri]

Just got redirected to the star prize page from this thread, while I was here to report being redirected from another thread (https://www.disboards.com/threads/the-running-thread-2025.3959705/page-106#post-66354265 )

Edit to add: accessing from Safari on an iPad Pro. And I got redirected again while adding this edit at 1:34pm central

Eastern time. Repeatedly. Accessing the Technical Support forum here. Plus I am getting ads covering posts.

Here is an example of the ad overlay, @WebmasterCorey.

That particular post was in Disney Rumors and News, but it is happening all over. If I refresh the page, they disappear (until the next time).

I am getting this one also every time I click on my alerts and then click one of them to go to that board.

Google is looking into it.

On chrome mobile. Ive been running into this on various pages. I think it's an ad of sorts.
I block pop-ups so a blocked pop-up notification happens and my screen automatically scrolls down past content to where an ad space is. It has "thinking dots" and continuously tries to redirect me to whatever the pop up is. When I scroll up to reply or continue an edit on a post, it keeps pulling me back down to those thinking dots. I have to refresh the page to get it to stop.
Considering it doesn't happen on ever page and the dots appear in what looks like an ad space, I believe it is a crappy ad. Worse than the full screen ones.

If you can pinpoint the exact location of the ad that will help so I can remove it.

I haven't seen the Virus scan ads in a day or so.

Ruh roh. Twice in the last half hour, I got the "Oh Snap" page. Once was after I was away from the board (but the tab was still open), and when I clicked on the tab, the page came up. Just now (~12:30 ET), I clicked on a link to read and it came up.

ETA: should have put this in the "Page Failures" thread. Going over there now.

That helps. Thank you

It's getting bad. I cannot go on the disboards without it happening. Yup, just got a redirect block while typing this.

Please fix it

That helps. Thank you

It keeps happening on my PTR thread in the DCL board: https://www.disboards.com/threads/melbourne-to-auckland-a-festive-occasion.3973054/#post-66370228

It's getting quite frustrating trying to update it.

It is happening all over the cruise boards. I cannot enjoy the disboards because it keeps happening. I hope you guys stop ads with whomever is doing this.
