Been on here for years, and never seen a single Amazon pop up.

Do you use your phone often? I have only ever had it happen when I am browsing the site from my iphone in safari/chrome...This never happens on my desktop or laptop.

Occasionally? Yes. Often? No.

I just reinstalled the app on my phone the other day, and didn't see any on there, though.

I have started getting them last night and it's rather annoying. iPhone 7, OS 11.2.6 and Safari browser.

FYI - Out of pure luck, I learned if you hold down the back button for a few seconds, it will give you a popup to allow you to go back to whatever page you want. Ended up doing that more times than I cared because this forum is like crack to me.

What about the App?
On your IOS device, go into the Safari advanced settings and turn off JavaScript.

This stops the redirects in the advertisements and embedded pictures/videos; however, many sites use JavaScript so you will lose functionality.

If there is s function you need, temporary enable the JavaScript, do what you need to do and then turn it off again.

Here is the procedure:

First select the Settings icon, typically located towards the top of the iOS Home Screen.

The iOS Settings menu should now be displayed.

Scroll down until you see the choice labeled Safari and tap on it once. Safari's Settings screen will now appear.

Scroll to the bottom and select Advanced.

Located on the Advanced screen is an option labeled JavaScript.

To disable it, select the accompanying button so its color changes from green to white. To activate JavaScript at a later time, simply select the button again until it turns green.

I thought this was a well known issue.....seems to come and go every few days. When it’s happening it’s an every 30 second thing though.

I only browse on my phone on the evening, via web browser

I might get a random redirect once a week or so but since last night I can’t get on the site for longer than about thirty seconds without getting redirected. I have tried safari, chrome, and Firefox with the same results. Finally dl’ed Tapatalk just to be able to check the forums. Using iPhone 7+ with current software.

Oh yeah, keep getting this too. Start typing a reply, this pops up, and the text I started is gone. I then need to start over.
Just did it doing this post.

Hey Sid, I work for an app developer and we recently ran into the same issue with malicious ads directing users to the same or similar pages. We tracked down the network that was serving the ad and got it corrected. Shoot me a PM if you'd like the info (just incase it's the same offending network).

Hopefully this can help trace the issue

I've had the issue about 10 times on my iPhone on Safari but not with this site. I only visit here with my computer I usually just close the tab and start over. And no, my iPhone hasn't seen porn yet
