Mobile Ad Redirecting

[Deleted]

The user I posted about is in Texas.

The Texas user was redirected late last night.

Thanks, @theophaniatcf it's appreciated. Any particular area in Texas? (it's a big place, we've got several nodes around the state we can test from)

[David Clark]

Also, does anyone happen to be privy to which devices are being used, specifically? I'm currently testing on an iPhone 5, but I just read a report where a user was on an iPhone 3gs, for example.

Both users I am looking at mentioned they were on iphones. Nothing further than that though.

[Kins]

This is what come up when I try and access from my mobile. I can get around it, but it's done it a few times now.

I am getting the same messages as Kins on my forum. tmukhub.proboards.com.

All when people are browsing on different android phones. The users are all based in the UK.

Some good news for adturnbull, Kins, & other users from the UK that experienced the above re-direct: this one was pretty easy for us to find. The details have been shipped of to our ad team and they should have it removed from the rotation shortly.

Unfortunately for those experiencing the re-direct to the app store on iOS devices here in North America, the above re-direct was un-related. We're still hunting for the ad that's causing that one I'm afraid

I am not sure where in Texas. I have a lot of PMs today from users with the same redirection issue. All mobile. Here are their locations:
New Hampshire
Massachusetts
Georgia
North Carolina
Louisiana (New Orleans)

All had the issue this morning.

That is good news Ricky as I've also had a report about this happening with one of my members -

Seeing as it appears they're from the UK, the re-direct should be filtered out for them by tomorrow

I have a new user with the issue. It just occurred for her:

"I just got an App Store pop up on attachment parenting. I'm in WA."

[Ghost77]

I've just had 3 users report this same issue. I've asked for details: 2peasrefugees.boards.net/thread/21864/phone-virus-proboards

[Underwaterrhymes2]

I post on pandce.proboards.com using my iPhone / mobile site.

I'm getting taken to the App Store again. Usually it's when the Dish Network as is at the top. It's taken me to a variety of apps, most recently the Game of War.

Can you please assist?

Let them know what version iPhone you have, what time of day it's happening, and where you're located. We've had similar issues on GBCB for the last week.
