Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
I'm one of the ones that complained about the problems a while ago, but I have had no problems at all in the last several months. Using iOS and Chrome.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
Getting hit hard this morning with redirects using an android cell phone. I am certain it is not malware on my phone because this site is the only one with the redirects.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
I don't know how Android and chrome work under the hood. This site was all-but-unreadable. I disabled chrome on my phone, which also removed the most recently installed version, and also cleared out all its data. Then I re-enabled Chrome and updated back to the most recent version. All is well now. All I can guess is that something bad got cached somewhere, and it kept going to that bad/cached data.
EDIT: Nope. They're still hitting me. Maybe it is my phone. But if it is, I have no idea why it is only this site.

Haven't seen it in a long time, thought my settings were blocking these, but I'm getting them again today also.

I’ve been hit with this one no less than six times in the past five minutes. Still using Safari under iOS 12.2.

^ I’m getting the exact same thing. It’s so bad I can’t even make a post. It took about a dozen times before I finally got through for this one.
I’m also using Safari with iOS 12.2

Oh good it’s back - Chrome with iOS 12.2. Happened as I clicked on this thread to report it.

Same here. The site was completely unusable last night via mobile.

I’m using iOS 11.4.1 with Safari, and NeverAds and AdGuard enabled and I haven’t gotten hit with this crap in ages.
You guys getting hit with these redirects might want to clear your cookies, cache, and history, and then install an ad blocker or two.

Same problem last night. Looks like IB has gone back to ignoring the issue as they haven't commented in this thread in over a month.

I was on this page:

... and something tried to load https://dwnld dot icu which set off both of my antivirus and antimalware programs.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
I have been getting popup blocks for a while now. Almost always in the Streaming Talk threads. I think I've finally found the culprit. It seems to be when there is a Peacock ad. I've spotted that ad multiple times when getting the popup blocks.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile
Hopefully something gets figured out. It is happening more frequently. If I scrolled down past the Peacock one it kept counting up popup blocks. I did however also see another ad below it but couldn't get it to show well enough with the popup to get a screenshot.
