    Run away ads, redirects

    I'm constantly getting redirected to random ads while trying to read posts or even load up the main page.

    Not happening on my other forums so I don't think it's on my end.

    Happens logged in, logged out, with cookies enabled and with cookies disabled. Have cleared all my caches.

    Surprised I even had enough time to post this.

    Here is a link to one of the forced redirect ads.

    So am I. I thought it was my phone but it only happens on M4C. It also takes me to Google play store all the time.
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    What browser/OS are you guys using? I've never seen these problems, or the others with ads spamming the forums. I've enabled the various ad blockers and privacy options for Safari, iOS and Chrome. I may have downloaded some extensions for those, so if it helps, I will check and post what my browser options are. The only Windows machine in my house is my crappy work laptop, which I don't use for personal interests.

    I'm using a Galaxy S5, my only source for the all mighty Internet. I have all the factory blockers (1) turned on. I usually get redirect warnings but was getting forced to the ads.

    I haven't been redirected since I posted this thread though so who knows.

    ETA:
    Docsherm and I are in the same general area and both on phones so maybe the issue is our possible locations.

    The only logical explanation is the aliens from millions of light years away ,that are keeping us safe, have piggy backed local celly towers and are prohibiting me from reading on M4C about them keeping me safe. Sly tricksters.

    Same here. I am using Chrome on an Android with antivirus/ Internet protection software. Pop up blockers are on. Clicking on this thread I got redirected to another site.


    But the whole alian thing does sound like it is the most probable answer.........

    Maybe clear cache, browsing history and cookies?

    That was one of the first things I tried.

    I even went so far as to try to turn it of and turn it back on...... a little IT joke.
