Detailed Description

Automatic redirect to app store from forums page via mobile safari (on iphone 5). Pretty much impossible to function on forums page as you are immediately redirected. ​

I'd just like to add to this that it also happens using tube google chrome browser on the iPhone 5. This problem has picked up dramatically for me in the last few days.

I have observed this as well. Safari on an iPhone 4.

It's an ad network glitch that is common across platforms. Code problem opens a popup ad in new window or redirects to app store. On Android, it is coming from an ad site called adtrack.king.com. I haven't found a permanent solution for it, clearing phone cache takes care of it until you load another web page using adking ads, then it happens again. CF uses adking ads.

Any solution to this? Getting really annoying now.

I have been seeing redirects also.

For me, it's not even a pop-up in a new window. It uses the same browser window I open CF up in.

Ad blockers do not work. At least not one I've found.

Why did this start becoming a problem over the last few days?

Did the recommended steps at this site this morning and have not had any problems yet today. Too early to tell though. I've put up with this for a couple weeks.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will look into it.

Yeah it happened every time I tried getting on CF on mobile.

You win some, you lose some when CW goes on vacation.

It's the CW-on-Vacation malware. But it also yields commits, so I'm good with that.

(I experienced it too on my iPhone 5 earlier today)

Great minds think alike, but I post slower so you are the winner.

This is an issue that is becoming prevalent on many sites as ad-networks find new ways to do things that the site owners have little control over. We can try tracking down the ads that are causing it and adding them to the blacklist, but it might take some time. Thanks guys for the notification.

 

[Die4Cy]

Didn't stick. I am doing a factory reset of my phone right now to attempt to be rid of this thing. I hate you so much, adking.com.

 

[2020cy]

I hope they find a fix soon, can't even access CF now with my phone.

 

[isuno1fan]

Same problem here. Really sucks the big one.

 

[DFWClone]

So annoying.

I don't seem to have an issue. iPhone 4s
