Android Pop Ups

[hurdy]

Anyone else having a problem on android with popups hijacking the page? I haven't been able to use the forum for most of the day on my mobile as everytime a page loads it is hjacked by a full screen pop up ad?

I'm using Chrome on a Oneplus 2, and it's happening on EE 4G. The current ad is from oc.adrockets.net, although it was a different page earlier today?

Noticed this today, really bad, kept taking me to the store to download apps i don't want and telling me my phone has viruses and i need to download anti virus apps. Just basically stopping me from using the site. Luckily i had bt openzone in my area so switched to that.

Seems to only be when using 4G. I'm on EE too.

Thanks ... mobile networks should be trapped with their own set-up, which currently shouldn't have any chance of doing that to you.

I'll get it looked into.

@eFestivals I've had this twice today, one very similar to the "competition" above and one seemingly offering me the company of some nice ladies. (Android, both Wi-Fi and Mobile data has seen this issue).

 

Thought I'd let you know. Appreciate all your efforts keeping this site up and running.

thanks - it's the first report I've had recently, but will get it looked at.

Not pop-ups but I'm getting redirected to fun4vids a couple of times this morning it seems to happen before the ads load so I don't know what was showing.  Using Chrome on mobile over 4G.
