Redirecting ads

[zippyboy]

Hi it would appear that you all are or were hosting some ads that were autoredirecting to scam websites making it difficult if not impossible to use the site.

I am using an android device in incognito mode if that helps.

Also the popup nag is very naggy, consider I still get it with premium access....

[zippyboy]

Using the mobile version of the site gets around the redirecting ad issue, but not the popup blocked issue.

Just a suggestion the popups are too much especially for those with premium access. I understand running a site is expensive but these ads make me want to stop using and contributing - maybe treat the contributing members with more respect?

This is new. You guys fucked something up because this pop-up makes the site literally unfucking usable. Please fucking fix it.

www.topcreativeformat.com (192.243.59.13) appears to be the attack source

The Hot.Com pop up recently hacked my account here. According to a genius at the Apple Store. I couldn’t post here because their phishing scheme tried to redirect me to buy a security app. It was kinda embarrassing because it was a girl. She asked me what type of site this is.

I understand the site needs to make a buck. But get rid of Hot com. NOW

As of this morning this had become a major nuisance for me. I’m accessing the desktop version on an iPhone with the latest general release of iOS. Regardless if I use Opera or Safari I now get a pop up that tells me to enable pop ups. The only way out is to hit “OK”.

The behavior thereafter is slightly different depending on the browser, but so far I haven’t had any ad pop up other than the occasionally annoying Hot site that I had begrudgingly become used to. This latest change is so intrusive that I may no longer be able to use the site until it is fixed.

I'm also getting the 'please allow popups'... and I still get the popups. I'm in an incognito window if that makes any difference.



I blackholed the hot.com domains a long time ago. I'm right and willing to see advertisements on sites that I go to, to support them, but I draw the line when they are malicious.

Looks like you fixed it. Thanks!

[onawbtngr546]

Indeed, not receiving the popups asking for popups anymore. Thanks

Seems like an agressive popup is attaching to this site again.

Phones getting hit with a “you’ve been hacked” message. Thanks!
