Hi all, turns out some of the "Congratulations" ad redirects are triggered by the phone's accelerometer. If a user puts their phone down on a flat, stable surface, the ad will not trigger. Obviously this is not a permanent solution, but it is another line of defense.

Adbuster worked a treat! Thanks for the tip!

Hi There, made a capture this morning

You can see it redirects a few times before the final url with the popup
seems the first domain is "honestly.desksuggetion.site"
then redirects to another url
ive also seen "au_ocean.asia.gifttoday.club"

the gif has been uploaded here if the attached gif doesn't work

Hi everyone. We work to combat these ads, but we also require help from you. To pinpoint them, it is most helpful if you post a screenshot of the ad/redirect site, and tell us your browser/operating system.

Only happens in Australia using the mobile site wether using WiFi or the phones 3G.

Only way to stop it on a iPhone / iPad is to go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > JavaScript - toggle OFF
our don't use the mobile site.

Yesterday I downloaded the $1 app for iPhone called "Crystal"
Works out of the box immediately.

It has an option to allow advertising so you can continue to support Pprune.

Been getting redirected to some dodgy links while browsing JetBlast today. My Trend Micro Antivirus has been working overtime blocking them.

This is the link I'm getting;

https://lifegoalie.com/l/8c579bd6-24...-11506689a78b/

Another one.

LIfegoalie is a known nasty - don't know about the other one but I would not click on either of these two links. In fact they ought to be removed from the post.

Only put up for the tech team to sort out, don't click on them.

Thank you guys, these sites have been reported.

Late on parade but as a European I can report it like wot virgin driver said, i.e.

Started stuffing things up for me last weekend, (Sunday if I remember correctly) and was quite clever in that it kept offering me the aforementioned draw but in our local lingo (French). Seems to have fallen off it's perch about 48 hours ago. Thanks to whoever fixed it because for a while pprune via the iPad was unusable.
