Website Redirect

[grubens]

When viewing the forums on my iPhone I am often redirected to another site that says my phone is infected. I close Safari and come back here without incident, but does this happen to others? Doesn’t seem to be an issue when viewing on my computer.

Same here. Only on DIS...,

You are not alone. See these threads (all from this forum):
Anyone getting insane amounts of pop ups?
Pop-up ads
Why do I keep getting these ads?
Those pop ups are back
Help with pop ups
Boards unusable due to pop ups

Some of the posts in the above threads suggest solutions.

It's been an ongoing headache for many months for many here, no response as yet. Only this site, only on phones.

A similar issue happens on laptops or desktops: the ads repeatedly drag you to the bottom of the page, making it impossible to read posts or to comment. Exhausting and frustrating. And only on this site.

You are correct, tlr.

I did run a poll back months ago, in May, see below. With the most recent response back in mid August, we had 27 on any device, just this site. And we had 165 on just mobile devices and just this site. And no response from admin at all. I think I'll bounce that one up and see if any more takers.

Pretty sure you'll get more takers!

Had this problem a month ago and it stopped as suddenly as it started. Now it's back. Only on my android phone. No other devices. Makes it impossible to read the boards when I'm waiting in the doctor's office.

It went away for a little bit but it's back in a big way. It's happening really frequently now(twice within 10 minutes) and it's only happening on my phone and only on this site.

Misery loves company.

Oops, got another, 177 now.

Yes, I am unable to view this site on my phone. It keeps redirecting me to say I've won something or have a virus or something. Would love to be on the site, but I cannot. Please get this fixed.

I cannot access this site using chrome on android, constant pop ups, 'you won' , ' infected' , etc.
I've been using Opera browser for this site and have had no trouble at all.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

I don't even bother trying to access this site from my phone anymore.

 

[nw6675]

I have the same issue. So annoying. Only Dis and only on my Android.

 

[HiStitch626]

Have had this issue on both my iPad and desktop in Edge browser over the last several days

 

[dachsie]

I am getting them on my Mac. Is the site infected with virus?

Can't vote. But, I'd be in the "no, not getting it here or anywhere else" group.
