Could you grab a screen shot for us next time it happens?

Also - is this Desktop or Mobile? What OS/Browser combo?

Yes I will grab a screen shot next time. Desktop Firefox.

[Audizine Ad Ops]

Yes I will grab a screen shot next time. Desktop Firefox.

Thanks!

We also pushed out more security restrictions for Desktop. Mostly this is a problem on Mobile, so it could be that they just ramped up the attacks on Desktop.

Have you seen anything in the last couple of days?

Yes it happened today, but I forgot to get a screen shot. It was on Desktop on Firefox.

Darn it. Ok, I'm going to look into it. We'll put out some really strict rules right now, and then try to track down the source.

Many apologies for this, sometimes these things are really tricky to catch.

[Chris@EPL]

Here is 1 that I could grab. I keep forgetting to get a pic.

Yikes... Thanks for grabbing that!

Does it open in a new window, or is it a straight re-direct in the tab?

It straight re-directs in the tab.

[Audizine Ad Ops]

It straight re-directs in the tab.

OK - we've put more blocks in place around this one. Please let me know if you see it again!

Bogus "Apple computer infected with virus" pop-up (Mac under current OS).

Have randomly had this happen in the past couple weeks. Of course I don't click on any link thereafter, quit Audizine, and restart computer.

No such issues on AudiWorld et al.

Hello,
I'm using Chrome on Mac OS and nearly every time I go to the forum page, the I get 10-15 tabs open to the featured Best Buy item. I wanted to see if anyone is also having this issue, if it's known or just me.

thanks.

I've been randomly getting a banner ad at the very top of the browser window which moves down with me as I scroll down the page. If I refresh or click a link to another AZ page it goes away.

Chrome

The banner at the top of the screenshot.

I'm still getting the banner ads described above. They block hitting the links at the top of the page ("forums," "settings," etc.). This isn't the standard banner that's in the page, this is over the top.

[q5 dave]

Getting that banner ad too. It's on the side of my screen. Real annoying.

Ditto. Started getting it a couple days ago with Firefox on Windows. Multiple machines. I don’t get it with Chrome on Windows or on mobile devices.

[RoB9]

Just FYI, I told google ads not show this best buy ad and I haven't had the problem since. It would open 30 + tabs on chrome but seemed specific to that ad. ty.

[mrjaco]

Same here. Amazon adware lock out on safari. Can’t get on for more than a minute

[Admin]

Also tried to go to mobile version and got a site not secure warning.

What's the URL? Make sure there's a https:// at the start of it. Or, download our app, free for both iOS and Android. Simply search "Audizine" in your respective app store.

Thank you for reporting this. We have not authorized such an ad and will investigate.

Per my laptop it's close to impossible to navigate this site. I couldn't log in because and any attempt of using the user log in would register a hit on what ever ad was near or at the banner. I finally shut it all down and reloaded and sped clicked the login even though my user info was preloaded...I barely made it to hit enter before the wave of popups. This site is a nightmare on my laptop, there's a huge blanket of ads always in the way, closing one pops up another, there's ads between posts, over the posts, ontop of the posts. Even scrolling the ads blanket the scroll, so it then again opens the ad because it overlays on everything.

Mobile is fine, laptop isn't useable.

We do not use or allow pop-ups. Yes there are ads between posts and on the top and bottom of threads but they shouldn't be overlaying, popping up, or obstructing in any way. If you see this please provide a screenshot as this is NOT supposed to be happening.

[Chris@EPL]

Getting the forced pop up spam ads that take over the screen again.

Seeing that here too. Reporting this to our Ad Ops team.

There are serious ad issues on the mobile site where an add covers the second post on a new page/thread. Happens in every thread, you can’t miss it. This is on iOS. Have a screenshot but can post it because it’s too big for what the forum accepts as an attachment, but there’s no way you can miss this… it’s been going on for years. Please fix it. Workaround is to scroll in landscape down enough to get the ad to pop into its little window they scrolls with you and hit X on it to close it. Super annoying.

What phone and browser are you using?
I use an iPhone with Safari 90% of the time I am on this site and haven’t seen this.

iPhone and Safari 100%. It’s always been there in portrait mode when not logged in. Happens sometimes when logged in. It’s only on the first page of thread and overlaps the second post in that thread. Never on subpages or last posts, etc. so if you’re reading long threads or last few posts catching up, you’d never run into it. New thread, guaranteed it’ll overlap the first response in that thread. I’m exclusively in the B8 S4 forum, so can’t tell you if it’s anywhere else, but I’m sure it’s probably site wide.

Also, it’s not a Google ad because it doesn’t have the X on it where you can hit that and report that it’s covering up content.

Have they looked into this yet? It also appears to happen in Landscape now too.

[hashmaster3k]

Yes please fix the issue above. It’s makes using this forum impossible!

This issue should now be resolved.

Please confirm.

[SwankPeRFection]

It appears fixed. I’ll let you know if it resurfaces. Thanks… it’s been messed up for years. Lol

Clicking on the username field at the main page today is opening up a porn site... Maybe you need to be a little more discerning with whom your ad partner is. I realize that ad blockers fix this but a lot of people don't know how to use them even in 2023.

EDIT: Trying to click "Post Quick Reply" button did the same thing. FFS

I get the porn with the username field, but not the post quick reply button

[Stubek]

It seems to be random. About every 10th click on my username in the top left goes to porn. Other random clicks on other banner buttons go to porn sites also, but it is not every time.
