hi

Am I the only person getting annoying ads from the boards and the site directing me to the App Store to download crappy games?

What platform are you using? (PC, iPhone, Android, etc.)

On iPhone 6. Same thing is happening to me. I hope we don't have some type of virus or something. When I click on a thread to open it, it redirects me to the App Store to download some random app and I can't get back. This has been happening for the last week or so but tonight is really bad. I can't get any thread to open without going to the App Store.

I have been getting related redirects on several forums, including Restaurants and Community. They are sending me to

I figured out if I turn off JavaScript in my advanced Safari settings, I don't get redirects, so this could be a temporary solution for anyone else having this issue.

I don't think it is a virus. This article talks about it:

This is also driving me crazy. I mostly browse on my IPhone and found it impossible to read yesterday - redirected in every attempt to read a thread and once I returned to DisBoards I need to essentially start over because I was caught in a redirect loop. Help!

This issue has been plaguing many sites for months. The easiest way to stop the redirecting is to turn off access to the App store from your device.

This has become so bad that it is impossible to access the Boards on my iPhone.

Very frustrating problem on my android phone. This is the only place I go to that does this.

This problem has completely gone away on my iPhone. It went from awful to nonexistent overnight.

Same thing has now started happening on my iPhone. Been using the boards just fine since they switched over- now I can't even access them on my phone- only on my laptop. FRUSTERATING! Any solutions?
