Safari redirect

[lawgator1]

I've noticed lately on my iPad that when on the site my app browser suddenly opens. Has happened maybe 12 times. Some Google research shows this occurs when site has banners that redirect you to App Store. Anyone else having this issue?

I don't have a problem on my iPhone or Macbook

It's bad tonight. Some candy game ad just sends me there over and over.

I've had this happen several times as well. It's very annoying.

Happened several times today, including about one minute ago.

Not sure I understand the issue. You're getting redirected to the app store when using your iPad?

Yea. I'll be reading a post and suddenly I'm sent over to the App Store. The pop up will then offer a particular game download. Have to close it then reopen safari. Google search shows this happens when one of the banners on a site is for a game. You don't have to click it, it just redirects on its own.

LG,

You have a virus from gazing upon pornography that features the love that dare not speak its name. Throw away your device and start over. This time make better decisions with your free time.

You're welcome,

What game is it?

Whatever it is make sure LG keeps getting the re-direct. This is a good thing.

Ha ha. Freak it's random. Seems though to match a banner ad. Do games advertise on here?

Yeah, we've had some. Next time it happens let me know what game it directs you to. That will help me track down the offending ad. Thanks man. :hi:

This only happens from this site, fyi

 

[lawgator1]

And another one. "Panda Pop"

Happens to me pretty frequently too.

clear tracking cookies before logging onto VN -- seems to work for me

I've had a couple of them removed. If you can post a screenshot of the ad and the landing page in the App Store, that might help locate any I've missed.

Thanks for the feedback.

Happened just now. I noticed web page at top said tracking.crobo.com. Apparently this is some kind of embed in game ads via Google. It's done to force clicks and generate revenue.

Pain in the azz.

LOL just did it again. Panda Pop again.

if you clicked on the ad it will continue to hound you - clear cookies and restart

 

[lawgator1]

I tried that. Will advise.

Some of the ones from tonight.
