Invasive programs launched from this website
Multiple times a day, I will be perusing these forums and out of nowhere the page will change to mobilewizardzone.space and lock my browser up. Only way to regain use of my browser is to clear the browser history which sucks because I then have to go log back into any forums I was previously browsing. The advertisements on the site are also pretty invasive, they pop onto every photo for example, making it very easy to accidentally click on them. Those suck, but I can live with them. But the wizard thing is getting old fast and is enough to make me stop visiting the forum. It is not my phone, doesn't happen on any other websites. It is too bad because this is a great forum but I can't take much more.

Hate to tell you - it is you. Never happens on my phone, tablet, or computer.

yep, definitely yours...
something like AdBlock might help, after a good anti-virus cleansing. The ads can get annoying, AdBlock definitely helps for that but what you're experience is definitely on your machine, not directly related to the forum.
Edit: I see you say it's on your phone, so AdBlock might not help. Have you tried logging in through the GarageTalk app on your phone? I DL'd it recently, works ok and no ads on photos!

www.malwarebytes.org d/l and install the free version. Been using it for many years and it works for removing adware, malware, etc.... Which is what you likely have.

I too have had problems with my iPhone and ads. It gets real annoying real quick. Fortunately I haven't experienced anything like this on f150 forum. One thing you can try is go to settings --> safari --> clear history and website data (FYI this deletes all tabs open and possibly other important things. Can't remember)

Mine is doing this to and only when browsing f150forum from mobile. It is not my phone my phone is malware protected and virus protected.
I'll be in a thread and it just randomly in the same tab loads up a cellphone bull**** you've won an iPhone or links to a bs site.
Again it is not my phone I use my phone daily on tons of other sites and no other sites are hyper linking me anywhere else but this one.
