How is it they reached out to the ad company a month ago, and every few days I end up with redirects every third page load?
Put my name in for another who's constantly getting those ads.

The only nice thing I can say is that these redirects are less hostile than ones in the past that would make your phone vibrate and trap you in the site. Still annoying though and they all seem to be .club sites which I can't think of any legit site that uses that domain.

Got two "you're a winner!" kind of redirects on the Watched Threads page like twice in 3 minutes on Firefox earlier today. Had to turn off tracking (thus disabling ads) for now, because those redirects don't even allow you to use the Back button to go back where you were.

Am I the only person dealing with these intrusive ads? They're popping up every few seconds.

I keep reporting them, but nothing seems to be getting done about them. It's popped up 4 times while typing this message.

Once again I'm using Safari on iPhone.

Still getting ads of this variety on most mobile site loads. They are for several different companies, but always Spanish language, always full-screen takeover. Same access info as before.

Not really a specific ad, but Chrome on Desktop ads.

Every time I load a new page, I have to wait for the page to adjust like... 5 times to sort out what the page size is from the ads. Anyway this could be changed to have the ads take up a fixed height?

Is anyone else getting entire web page reloads when there's a particular ad swap? Of course, I can't tell which one it was because it reloaded the page.

I'm on iOS. Safari.

Is there anything that can be done about the ad space resizing itself on desktop?

I'm on safari on my iPhone and every couple of minutes I get the exact same Ford AD in Spanish. It takes over the screen and I have to close it to continue browsing. It repeats probably every 2 minutes, extremely annoying.

Need a picture and the ad url. Makes it easier for them to remove it if I have those.

Same. This ad keeps popping up but the frequency is a lot higher. Within 10-30sec it pops up again making the site unusable.

yes that's the one.. has there been any acknowledgement that the staff here is aware of it? It's breaking the site at this point, makes it unusable.

I am getting this ad as well on iOS for the past week.
In addition to this, it covers the page in a PLEASE ROTATE DEVICE splash if you are in landscape and it super fucking annoying.

fuck you SoCal Ford Dealers.

Edit: just noticed the BDubs post above me.

We called the ad company and spoke to them about this. It should be taken care of soon.

Awesome. Good to hear.
