I'm working on it, but it's a moving target.
Anytime you get redirected, can you post the domain of the landing page? That way I can block it.

So far I've noticed king.com which I'll be blocking in a few minutes.

I don't browse the forums on my phone, I'm having issues with my desktop.

I run Firefox for all the forums I'm on plus Facebook which is 13 tabs, until recently all was good but when the ads started running it absolutely destroyed my browser performance which not only slows me down here but on every other site I'm on as well. It's to the point that I actually close SVTP except when I want to pop in and check on it, all the others can run all day with no issues.

Can't wait until this gets fixed.

Steve, install Ghostery and it will solve all your problems. Not only on this site, but every site you visit. Couple it with AdBlock and it between the two you can eliminate ads almost 100% on all sites.

I have yet to open a page on here that doesn't send me to the ap store first. So now I just click a link I want to go to, wait for it to redirect me, then go back and read page. It's annoying to say the least.

I had that same issue this morning. We're working on it. It's an issue with one of our ad networks.

I am enjoying this site today on Internet Explorer on my work PC.

All of my other sites I use for work, are on my Mozilla tab - but I love this site so much, I have a tab open just for it, using the browser I hate the most. ;)

When the site does work for me on Mozilla, I hear people talking like an ad us running, with no where to close it. But it also freezes the Mozilla Browser.

I'll try back on Mozilla in a few days, and also have my IT guy look into it.

If you can post the link the video/audio ads take you to we can kill them. It's frustrating trying to get all of this sorted out, just as it is for you guys having to deal with it.

Will do but as long as we're here this is the one that's killing me, it's on the right side of the screen.

I hear ya, that one is killing me as well.. I blocked it on all of our ad networks, but it's still coming through.
I think it's because you can't actually click on the ad itself, only the flash video ad that's embeded in the bottom of the ad. which sucks because ad networks block ad based on the click through domain, and this ad does not have one!
