And it just happened again. She managed to get a screenshot of the page between the forum and the app store. The ad is redirecting to wadogo.go2cloud.org

Hi

Thanks for posting that information.

I have marked this for the attention of the admins for when they get online. Apologies in the meanwhile for the inconvenience.

[nariadreaming]

thanks Craig. With a high volume forum, we (unfortunately) tend to deal with this situation more than your average bear.

This kept happening to me on Google Chrome for Android. I deleted my application cache, deleted Chrome, which made it default to the base version, then re-upgraded again.
Touch wood, it's not happened since.

Just had another member complain.

Happened a bunch in the middle of the night, and then again today at 10:23 AM CST.

Hi nariadreaming -- we'll get the effort to search for these going again.

Can I ask what the usernames of the members in question are? If it's okay with you, I'd like to send a PM and see if any of them are willing to help us scan in exchange for sweet PB e-swag

The first one is Fearsy. I am at an event and won't be home during business hours to get the other

[David Clark]

Thanks for checking back! Enjoy your event -- I'll shoot them a PM.

Hi! Naria has asked me to post on here because I've been getting redirected on the mobile site to an app called Draft Kings. It happened every time I would refresh a thread earlier this afternoon and of course once I messaged Naria about it, the frequency has decreased.

I was able to get this screenshot earlier during one of the redirects. Please let me know if there's any other information you need from me! Thanks!

It's happening again.

The intermediate URL was c.afftrx.com. This was from fearsy again (iphone/ATT/atlanta)

Another user has complained this evening- it's happening every 2-3 minutes and the ad is taking her to "Draft Kings" in the app store
