Default Anyone else getting page redirects?

One minute enjoying the forum reading a post the next second I get redirected to a spam site. Mobile webpage.

These types of ads sometimes slips through the system. Just as Spam emails have a long history, these types of ads have been a growing issue as well and there is no one source.

We'll have the advertising team investigate this issue.

Thanks.

To whoever is running this forum there is an ad that hijacks the site. Almost impossible to read the forums since it pops up every few minutes. And no it is not my device.

I have the same issues. It's not my device as I browse many other forums/websites with no issues. Run CCleaner on my device as well.

These types of things happen from time to time, and we've been dealing with these for the past two or so years. Give us all of the screenshots you can.
