Really dodgy pop up on mobile

[gregory]

I also get these regularly using Safari on my iPhone, to the point that I just stopped visiting the site on my mobile.

Nope still getting them unfortunately. I seem to go through a whole day without getting any and then I'll go for about an hour getting one on every thread I click on....

Thanks.

I'll kick the ad-house again.

Maybe its just an android thing?

in many ways it is, these ads are normally targetted against certain devices/OSs. The instances recently of happening on desktops is unusual.

I’ve had three of these over the last hour (I’m on iPod touch, iOS 11.2.1). They’ve started linking to german sites. The latest one was http://apple.com-a-nl-gem7.grote-beloningen-giveaways.trade/winip7nl_ios.html?isp=Cloudflare inc.&model=iPod Touch&141.101.107.154&voluumdata=deprecated&eda=deprecated&cep=B1Q4MqALsfiJloBsW9Gtmsq5geSZC_qOmL08r0UGRj76r9IvVZPb_fe6lTzHirR7m0ugjtTsEdECHREXPBZBc7hNSEtLS_w6T7-Xpc1aTXox96Y0g8ePr3rZRWOJ1IWg-BO5XXSM150PSOWr5Vg0ieL8PtfWi6zMrUnGMOMN1FTTrW6LyQrTJCe38j3ONBdDaEvl2mUh31AIUk3HZp87PTwJ4Gm1YJ6kHtMcIAO7yiCPDQFyAnZahNVUOIi1iJ5bl8PNpuR4XDbj7NG15TszRHcoKqFFlJXoaVxVHLBeDeA&siteid=719x8c3e8ca8fe&sitedomain=efestivals.co.uk&page=&source=282&pub=719

I get these every time I click on a forum on my mobile (safari)

I just cleared my cookies and signed in again and I’m not being bombarded anymore. Obviously only a temporary, user-side fix but might be of use.

it would have helped if you'd posted that you were still being bombarded, every day that you're being bombarded ... because when no one or only one person posts to say, the ad-house say "no one complaining so the problem must be gone".

Which i know is bullshit - but they get pissed off being told they're wrong - and it's why there's no problem for you right now, cos all of the ads have been killed off for the moment.

Oh right my apologies. I just saw a couple of comments from today saying the same experience as mine so I thought you were already aware.

edit:  But yeah it was on every page this morning. Worst I’ve had it. Looked like the above but with ‘Google user’ so obviously directed at different platforms as you suggested.

I just got the winners pop up saying I had won a Samsung S8 (via mobile on my S7!) which would not go away without leaving the site so you might want to have another word with them again.

thanks

@eFestivals  I'm now getting this same one a lot too. Safari on iOS and happens both on 4G and wifi. When I click back it takes me back multiple clicks so is now making the site unusable on my phone. 

[eFestivals]

thanks. Someone is already on the case this morning, tho it can take a little while to track down and stop.

[Mattymooz]

Just got another one (tho I had been on the site for a good 20 mins and its the only one which has popped up)

 

[eFestivals]

thanks, it will be looked for and stopped.

Browser hijack around noon on my Samsung S6 Chrome browser. Pop up had something to do with Amazon, happened a few times. I was on O2 wifi at a Costa.

thanks.

Seems to be the case that when any one of three different advertisers is turned on, this problem crops up soon after.

I'll get it addressed.

One of those dodgy 3 ad-providers was turned on again on Monday. I guess that's the last time any of them get turned back on.

Haven't been able to use the site on my mobile all day, constant page hijacks.

[WS_Jack_III]

Happening on my macbook now too.

[eFestivals]

My apologies, again.

This issue should now have been dealt with and resolved.

[cdm22]

It's back again. Samsung S9 winner once more.

[eFestivals]

Thanks, i'll get it sorted.
