Forum URL: goodbyecb.proboards.com/thread/31859/pop-ads?page=1Mobile users are being directed to the app store again. I've had reports with safari (the linked thread with a screenshot) and with chrome (2 reports). Three reports total of this in the past 24 hours so far and all are mobile.

Did they report the ads by pressing [CTRL + ALT + R] ?

Thanks for the report, @theophaniatcf. We'll do some manual scanning today to try and find the ad that's causing the re-direct.

Thank you! I'll let you know if we get any reports not mentioned in the thread. A 4th user mentioned the problem in the thread as of 5 hours ago.

Thanks for the heads up, nariadreaming. We weren't able to find anything yesterday, but we'll continue the search today since it's still persisting.

This is still happening for users. Here is a link that one user was redirected to: sponsor.adverstitial.com/view/advertisement?loc=47944&adv=2726759&camp=608467&w=728&h=90&rnd=6264052997694682214

CheatAreZee it continued to happen today. Ive been on the boards for about three minutes and so far ive been redirected to Game of War in the app store 5 times. Every new thing i do, open a thread, post, switch boards etc causes a redirect. This is honestly unacceptable. I paid for her to have a month of ad-free because it is at the point that she literally cannot even access the site.

We've been continuing to scan since the initial, nariadreaming, and on behalf of an equally-frustrated support staff I apologize for the inconvenience these advertisements have been posing. Can you let me know which geographical location the user is originating from?

David Clark the user that's had the worst issues is in NY. On a Verizon phone. Issues seemed to be really bad between 6AM and 7AM EST today.

So as has been the case for the past few days, it's been non-stop screening from behind proxies matching the geographical locations of users experiencing the redirect issues, and nothing of note has popped up for us.
Can you tell me if there's any other factors that might help us trigger it? You said it was especially prevalent at 6-7 in the morning EST today, do you know if that is the case for all reports lately? Some of the subsidiary ad providers will only run their bad ads during a certain window of time during the day, to minimize possible occurrences so it's harder to track them down. We should definitely keep time in our minds as a possible factor as well.
