Forum Redirects to Apple App Store

I have seen some other posts about this... my forum is experiencing re-directs to the Apple App store, when viewing the forum on an iPad or iPhone.  I am experiencing similar issues when using my Samsung Galaxy S5 (redirected to the app).

Notes come from our members in Indiana (me), Delaware and the United Kingdom.

Hi jrijr, thanks for letting us know. We'll be scanning today for these ads in the hope that we can snag the appropriate data to send to our ad partners to have these removed.

Thanks for the quick response, and your help.

We didn't have much success today, jrijr, but we're picking up the search again tomorrow. If you have any information along the lines of what time of day this typically occurs at, which threads specifically the redirects have occurred in, and what app you're redirected to, that would be helpful to the effort.

I am redirected to the ITunes App Store, and was shown a Draft Kings ad. When I came to this forum to post the update, the same thing happened when I copied the link to my forum post, but I received a Big Fish Casino ad in the App Store the second time.

Thanks for the details, jrijr! I've begun scanning again for this today.

Not trying to rush here, but wanted to check and see.

I have experienced this on another forum I host, and a ProBoards forum that I visit daily.  I had another member of my forum contact me that she experienced this issue as well.

Thank you for your help!

Thanks for the info, jrijr. I've spent some time scanning for this since Friday, but I fear I must be doing something wrong, as I've probably loaded several hundreds of pages on your forum with no triggering of the redirection.

Can you give me some details regarding the device/location/username of the member that just reported having gotten it? We'll try scanning from her perspective.

I will check and get back with you.  I don't have my iPad with me right now.  Thanks for all your efforts!
