Idolized Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 For the past few days, every time I log in and click on a topic I’m immediately redirected to a fake YouTube looking page saying I’m a winner or something. If you go back, it redirects again over and over. This is my fifth time logging in this past five minutes and I’m finally able to actually use the board.

Johnny Slick Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 That's usually an issue with a malicious cookie on your device, not the site itself. Clearing your cache and then, if that doesn't work, clearing your cookies usually helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to stop it is to get a quality ad blocker or wait for the ad to stop showing up when it expires or the site blocks it.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I tried to block some additional domains, but I don't see these ads running from our account. I'll keep looking though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main domain is happy(dot)uslucky(dot)top and according to google it’s been plaguing several forums like this one lately.</p><p> </p><p> EDIT: One thing I’ve had some luck doing is canceling the website after it loads enough to read but before it finishes loading the entire page. It seems like the ad loading, and thus the redirect happening, is one of the last processes so just hit the X as soon as you can see the page.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I pulled the forum ads until I can take more time to figure out what is going on. It's not really making the kind of money to justify the aggravation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
