9 times out of 10 when I try to access this forum I get redirected to some spam site. Anyone else have the same issue or know why it happens? Will be visiting a lot less if it persists!

Not noticed that but did notice that the mobile version is full of adverts between the posts, so much so that it's become impossible to scroll through it properly

Add your comments to this thread, the mobile site was a nightmare for popups/page takeovers on the old software as well for me.

MrM

Sorry should add this is on a mobile device that I experience the redirects

Are you visiting the site in the browser or via the GT app? Have you tried an ad blocker on your browsers? I find the GT app just has blank placeholders for adds but they're not shown. Shame as the rest of the UI is quite nice.

I've been getting them too, i.e. redirect/pop-up ads while using the mobile site. Please know that IB is working to squash them as quickly as possible.

Arghhh! Just got redirected opening this thread! IB are definitely subscribing to some suspect advert feeds, I don't have these issues on any other forum.

What platform, device and browser is this on?

I'm on Android 7, Chrome browser. I tried enabling the 'Data saver' option which sends everything via Googles servers for compression and mild 'filtering' and pop-up supression, that doesn't stop these redirects either.

I'm on an iPhone in iOS 9 using safari....
