I'm getting weird redirects while viewing threads with my phone. I don't get them on the PC though. This is the only site I get redirects on, anyone else have that problem?

You most likely have a malicious app that you installed on your phone.

Stay away from porn!

Some site where it starts talking out loud. When it happens again I'll try to take a screen shot. I only notice it when I'm on Signs101 and only when I'm on my phone.

There is something up , I've seen it on my phone only. It is either a rogue ad or a page is hacked. These scripts display very conservative so they are hard to find to remove.

The ad shows pop up on Android and plays a message I'll screenshot it next time I get it.

Texas is probably visiting Estonian porn sites and planning on moving the girl into his shop in the backyard.

I've browsed Signs101 on my phone the last 20-30 minutes or so, using all 3 themes just clicking various links and did not one time get redirected.
I'd suggest you guys experiencing the issues note the following reply:

Being redirected via your phone-only suggests that you may have a malicious app installed on your phone.
It, however, is not an issue with Signs101 as far as I can tell. It seems that you'll need to install an anti-virus/anti-malware app and clear your phone of any adware exploits.

I stopped getting redirects as of Tuesday with the new chrome mobile update which blocks redirects. I know for a fact that I have no malware as I run malwarebytes and McAfee daily

Are you doing it on an account that sees ads?

It is most likely a rogue ad. The fact it happens when people are visiting signs101, and not just randomly means its not likely an app thats doing it. Rather one of the ads in your ad network is causing this - Your ad network probably shows thousands of ads, based on peoples browsing history/cookies... so odds of you seeing it are 1/10,000.

No way to fix it besides find the offending ad/redirect, which isnt an easy task... Reddit has had this problem a lot. They had to disable a whole ad group until they found out which ad caused it... Which meant missing out on a ton of revenue. No easy solution to it... but I'd bet it's an ad in your ad network that takes advantage of phones crappy security, than a couple people having a virus.

Could be a possibility. I'm sure Signs101Admin will have a look at his advert network to verify if what you've said is a possibility.
I just personally never saw the redirect ads after over an hour of browsing on phone or tablet, which leead me to believe it may be an end-user issue.
Your suggestion is as valid as any other - So we'll take a look at it and hopefully find a resolution. Thanks.

Well, that's why I mentioned that I got these on a phone that was less then an hour old. Only thing I did was download my usual bank appd then got on signs101 and saw redirects... Pretty hard to blame it on anything else at that point. I'm using chrome on Android 7.0.

No Johnny smart mouth, I don't watch porn on my phone... Too small of a screen

I don't see this issue on any other site. I agree that it probably is a rogue ad. I haven't seen it for a while now either.
