Anyone reading the military section on an Ipad? I am and I find that it the AppStore opens a page for Lovoo dating agency. Only happens when reading Military forum. Does this happen to anyone else?


Guess I'll have to put my iTinhat on.

Me too!

Along with the last post on each thread containing an uncalled for and unwelcome advert.

Please Mods, can you have a look at this? It's obvious that a bit of spamming is taking place.

+ 1

Just Noticed that recently.

+ 2 - more annoying when using an iPad, i.e. off to App Store u go!

I've fired the problem over to the techs in California and provided a link to exactly this thread.

Any other similar complaints about the IOS app please chip in with as many details on the behaviour you are seeing as possible please.

I've had exactly the same problem this afternoon, tbh it's been driving me mad and my wife has voiced her great displeasure having briefly seen a dating website on the screen!....

Safari repeatedly closes down and App store opens, direct to that same advert.

I'm now on a PC without issues

Wonga.com hijacking the bottom of my screen! Sue their arses!

Thought initially was just a comment on forum members...........

Not got any issues as using Firefox with Ad blocker and Ghostery.

Dating websites only come up based on what you previously were looking at

"- more annoying when using an iPad, i.e. off to App Store u go!"

Agree. And was using SAFARI on the iPa which is brand new.

and never used for looking at Dating websites.

"Dating websites only come up based on what you

Same from this iPhone. Tried another forum at random - Fragrant Harbour - and the same redirect to the App Store.
Haven't noticed any unwelcome ads at the foot of the page though; has Gordon Brown been reduced to peddling his services as a financial advisor ?

No problem on my iAppliance here, though I use a bookmark imported from laptop safari into iAppliance safari so don't go anywhere near the App Store... had a few issues with some 'apps', even those linked to 'reputable' organisations

Thanks for t'eads-up; if owt 'appens I'll let you know

I am now on another computer, old Mac using firefox
and problem still evident as is advert.

racedo - you maybe thinking of a tracking cookie, used by companies like Google.

This is, I suspect, somewhat different? I cleared my iPad of history (no, I don't use dating websites?!*) and cookies - tried again, same problem?

Still get the advert bottom post - noticed the same on the Middle East forum - when using desktop (iMac)?

Will try Firefox/Puffin......

Interesting - when logged in, no advert. Logged-out, I get the advert in the last post?

Now starting to go way above my basic skills......

I get nowt and happy for that to continue

Hi all,

I have our ad ops people tracking down two issues reported here.

One, the ad appearing at the bottom post, is going to be moved down outside the post itself. Also, the ad will not appear once you have logged in, so if you don't want to see it in the meantime, log in.

Two, the redirect to the App Store on iDevices. This is not intentional, and sounds like an advertising network is running a bad ad to us. We're on the case and looking to find it and block it.

I'll keep you posted as I hear more. Sorry bout that.

Paul

"One, the ad appearing at the bottom post, is going to be moved down outside the post itself."


That would be good.

And me - thought my iPad had a virus! I was about to accise my daughter for going on Lovoo!!!

always had an advert on the last post until I logged on.

There was a note too that "logging on would get rid of adverts" or something

I never access on a iPad as I never know the app to use for forums.

I keep getting Paypal popping up and taking me to their website! It only happens on the mil page!

Must owe someone cash?
