This is something I’ve been getting as well. Tech is working on it and every time I see one, I forward a screenshot and a URL for it.

its being addressed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Tried the mobile site. The full sight is flawed by virus ads. But the mobile sight is one hot mess.

IB is to worried about affiliate links and ads. I know they want to make money, this site is just a bit out of sync for me now. I use to post 8-10 times a day with valuable info, then I just quit when they went to other apps which include all their other auto forums.

I understand IB needs to make money, as I own a couple VB boards, but this site is hard to visit anymore.

There was a meeting with Google Adsense folks to discuss exactly this.

The probalem has gotten far better than it was over the holiday week, but I still get the ads a couple times per day. A permanent fix is coming. All they can do right now is block individual web addresses.

Every single time I open a thread on the mobile site I get an aggressive redirect to this garbage. Not even usable. Going to stop bothering.

I totally agree. The aggressiveness of the ads border on criminal. I really like the forum but the mobile behavior is ridiculous. Obviously there's no mobile QA. I expect more from a professional website.

I was having the same problem and the suggestion at the beginning of this thread totally fixed it. Not sure if you all are having the same issue I had (about 30 seconds into reading any post, it would automatically navigate to some other random advertisement page or other junk page). On my mobile phone, I went to the link below, and clicked "Enable". It now never redirects.

I have an iPhone X and have been using the mobile site...I tried a little experiment to confirm my suspicions.
I erased all the website data...
Safari >Advanced>Website Data

Then I logged on to the mobile site and then checked the list again and a gazillion ad websites were listed among some I don’t recognize.

I tried to post the 8 screenshots of the list, but for some reason it’s not working.
