Advertising Issues

Never experienced any of this either on my iPad (browsing with Safari) or my phone (android) using tapatalk.
 
How did it appear?

Can't remember exactly. I was either trying to enter General Discussion or another thread in in site feedback (I think it was this scenario). It jumped me that link and then to the app store on the iPad.
 
You didn't click anything or it appeared on top of everything and thus got clicked?

Audio Ad: Thad

I'm probably the only person that gets this, but I've been getting an audio ad for Thad Cochran Senator for Mississippi campaign. **** is annoying.

I just clicked the thread I wanted to enter and got automatically redirected to that.
 
Our advertiser has blocked all the ads based on the URLs provided in this thread. Please report any more.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
 
Do me a favor... At the top right of the ad is an icon that looks like an arrow, see below. Click that and see if you can opt out of that campaign. If it's not an option, that icon will lead to a link that will advise you to clear your cookies to remove the targeted nature. If that all fails, don't vote for that dood and let me know again and we can look into blocking it holistically.

Thanks!

Going to re-title this thread, "advertising issues". Feel free to post advertising issues with details on what the problem was along with the URL of the destination here.

Thanks!
 
I got a notification via email that someone "liked" one of my posts, when I clicked the link in the email, it took me to the regular screen where you can see all of your "like" activity, but about a second later the App Store popped open again. The name of the game is "Jelly Splash". It keeps doing it on like one out of three pages I view. I'm on my iPhone, btw.
 
The ads have seemed to stop. I haven't been on much lately though because it's still having major loading issues. It takes so long to load threads, and post replies.

Any idea what's up with that? It seemed to coincide with the ad problems.

I haven't noticed that. Anyone else? You have a malware checker or anything? Clear cache?
