Just shut down openx network add for the bottom two ad positions. Please report if it still does it for you.

This doesn't help here obviously but I'm following a Pike thread on Mtbr and it happens everytime I look at it, sometimes more than 3 times. Came as a shock when it happened here too, at least I know it's not my phone.

Good luck.

Got this for the first time this morning, Safari on iPad 2, iOS7.0.4 ๐Ÿ™

I get this on my android (as per other thread).. its happens before the 2 'advertisment' modules complete loading. Only for some adverts though, and those that do trigger the lovelinks.us redirect to googleplay never display anything.

Similar here, just tested it on my Android (4.2) phone. Had to reload the page a couple of times, it happens when the adverts at the bottom right load. It redirects to a copy of a Play Store page with an automatic download of the APK installer.

I'm not about to post a photo of the young lady who featured in the ad I was served, although she was apparently enjoying herself.

Edit: I've sent the URL served by email, apart from trying to install something nasty it's also very NSFW!

PS: [b]To all Android users: double-check your security settings, particularly that "allow installation from unknown sources" is NOT activated.[/b] The page that opens is a very good copy of the Play Store, I certainly thought it was real until I noticed the URL.

I had (on android) the same problem with a pop-up/redirect on mtbr.com over the weekend.

Had something this morning, (iPhone4, iOS 7.04), when opening loddrik's tokenism thread. Was just a pointer to William Hill's app, but not the mecca bingo app.

Q: is it anyway useful to return to the thread (i.e. just going back to Safari by double clicking the home button) and taking a screenshot so you know what ads are being served up on the page at that particular moment, then posting that screenshot here?

I know I've not had any NSFW ads on Safari on iOS.

I do miss the Bravissimo ones though. ๐Ÿ™

Screenshots of the ads in the RH column are useful as are any derived urls, although that is tricky for most on mobiles. just added funme24.com to the shitlist

Sorry, had it again a short while ago, same bloody William Hill app, and the same pop-up asking if I want to go to the App Store. It also kept interrupting me with error messages saying the requested web page couldn't be opened.
Sorry, I didn't think to take screen shots that time, but it happened exactly as last time, as I was scrolling down the left-hand side, not touching the screen anywhere near any visible advert link.

I've had the problem on mtbr as well - it's not stw it's an ad on the mtbr forum that's caused the problem.

I had it happen last night while browsing Flipboard! Only time it's happened away from STW, though.

Just adding that I am getting redirected to the App Store for game of war - fire age, from most Singletrack pages. Definitely happens from chat forum and has just happened as I am typing this. Running iOS 7.0.4 on iPad mini. Hard to say for sure, but been happening at least the last three days.

Thanks

Neil

Got a new one today. Loaded a thread and a massive popup appeared saying "YOUR BROWSER IS INFECTED"
Quickly hit the back button before anything else happened.

Galaxy S2 on Android

iPhone 5 safari and the forum is unusable today. Every page takes me to the App Store. Even halfway through reading a thread it just redirects.

Just had a completely new one... An Apple style pop-up asking 'Do you want to view this page in the App Store'.

Are we still meant to be reporting these? First time ever for me, Safari on an iPhone with 7.1, kept on redirecting me to a web page which then flipped me to Game of War - Fire Age on the App Store.

Posting this from the iPad with no problems, though...

Yep, still happening on my iP5 and now started on my iPad mini. Both running the latest iOS7. Sometimes it's a real pain in the arse and it's exclusively STW where it happens.

and it's exclusively STW where it happens.

But it's not exclusively STWs problem.

It is, however, exclusively Apple's problem. The irony is, if one has Jailbroken their phone, you can patch the issue.

Happens to me not only on STW but several other sites I visit. Irritating but a first world problem?

It happened to me last weekend. The difference being I was abroad (in Italy) and was using various hotel and restaurant wifi connections. Once back in the UK and either on Vodafone 3G or home wifi (BT) it's been fine.

I've got an iPhone 4S on the latest iOS.
