Same deal here, on Chrome. On main board page and subforums.

I'm getting the fake Norton and McAfee scans. Chrome on my tablet and on my PC. Multiple boards.

Same. It’s been happening all day to me. Redirecting to Norton and a lot of random refreshing, which is a pain when in the middle of typing a response.

Yup, including this thread now.

The Norton one has been terrible for a bit now.

Same. Using Mac/Safari.

Wow - so happy to find this. I've been struggling with this for a while now. It's happening a lot today.

MacBook Air and iPhone - Using Chrome

I'm getting the fake scan pages too. This has happened before.

The fake virus scans need to go.

1) SOMETIMES it happens when I click a link to a thread/forum. In which case, I click 'back' and it takes me back to the page I was previously on. OTHER times, I'll click on a link (usually to a thread), start reading the thread, then, anywhere from 10 seconds to 30 seconds(?) later, I get redirected to one of the "scans". Now, though, when I click 'back', it takes me back to the thread list, NOT the page I was reading. BUT, the forum software now thinks I've "read" the page, so I have to jump back into the thread and scroll around to find where I was reading.

2) Any ad that uses fear, ie: "Your device may be infected!", is not an ad *I* would want to allow my users to see. I can just imagine my 82 year old mother seeing that and clicking links to get her device "clean", obviously costing money.

Just happened to me on the TPAS forum. (Virus scan ad)

On my iPhone. Running the latest iOS.

This is the only website that gives me headaches on a daily basis. The page constantly reloads and the ad redirects are rendering the site unusable for me.

I’ve also had issues with trying to post replies. The page reloads mid-reply and deletes everything. If I refresh a few times, what I’ve typed in the response box suddenly reappears and I can continue my typing.

Hope it’s fixed soon.

I've had that issue too, and will sometimes happen multiple times just trying to type a single reply. Only my phone or tablet (which doesn't have ad blocks). VERY frustrating, especially if you use quotes because then you have to go grab the quotes again.

Adding on to my response of a few minutes ago to say that in addition to it happening on the TPAS forum, it just happened again on the Resorts forum.

It’s such a shame because I was hoping to catch up on the disboards this morning but I just can’t deal with the pop ups.
