Members getting a pop up when entering the site

[crazysue]

I have had reports today that some of our members are getting a message that they have won a phone when entering our site. It appears it is those accessing via a mobile using EE or Virgin media.

We have identified and blocked this

Ah, unfortunately there are still issues for some users I am afraid.

I believe we blocked the advertiser entirely. Are users still experiencing issues? It may have just taken longer for the block to go into place for these users.

I've not had any further reports today so hopefully it is now resolved.

Thanks

Just bumping this up as it is happening again for some of those using the site via a mobile phone. This time however, it is a voucher for Aldi!

Thanks

Redirect ads are generally automatically detected when they redirect you, but making a thread to let the staff know isn't a bad idea. if this persists over the weekend, the staff will be back on Monday from 9am to 5pm pacific to look into this.

That said this thread is four months old and likely has been marked as "resolved" internally for the admin team.

As a rule (both literally as part of the forum rules and also as a "rule of thumb"), it's better to create a new thread even if the problems are similar, especially if some time has elapsed.
