Being redirected to app store

I'm being redirected to the App Store when click on posts. So far I've seen ads for World of Tanks Blitz, sims free play, and Cookie Jam. This is incredibly annoying. I'm posting from an ipad thru safari, not thru an app.

I am also having this issue. Also posting to GBCN from my ipad using safari.

Hi.

You say this happens when you click on posts. What is it that you are clicking exactly? Is this when viewing on a desktop or a mobile using the mobile version?

Ha. I went to test it myself. Strangely enough it took me to the Apple store then redirected me to the windows store.

Desktop version of the forum in OP. And clicking any link to a post. Using Internet Explore on Windows Phone 8.1.

Its like the links are being redirected.



I also get redirected to forums.net when there is an advertisement either at top or bottom of page when I click on a thread.

Also, I don't get any of this on other forums. Just this one while viewing desktop. Mobile is fine.

Thanks nick. Not getting that on my phone. To confirm, this is when viewing the forum in desktop mode, and it happens when you click on the topic name to enter the topic?

Does it happen across different browsers, and different forums?

Hi Everyone,

We're taking a look into this now and I have already notified our sysadmins so that we can begin screening ads (and possibly removing ad networks).

Just an update. I did a hard reset of my phone. Back to factory defaults and not getting this issue. On my Lumia 521 windows phone 8.1 or Lumia 1320 windows phone 8. (process of upgrading to 8.1)
