Give it a rest man. He's trying to help but some of you guys won't accept the info he's posted regarding it not being a problem with the software. Sure, it turns out he was half correct, and half wrong, but some have been all wrong in continuing to blame FTE.

Like has been said MANY times, if this was something infecting the forum software, it would be global and everyone would be affected, not a select few, and from those few, even less who want to blame FTE.

The facts are that since last July we have been reporting this problem and have stated that it wasn't our phones.
It doesn't matter to me if it's FTE or advertisers. The fact is it never happens on any sites that aren't run by IB. We have been posting screen shots since last July, then to say the screen shots are too old to use is ridiculous. If the issue had of been looked at months ago we wouldn't be here today still talking about it

Poor behavior discredits his points. And makes me mad. I pay for a membership to this site; only to be disrespected by one of the leaders. Unacceptable.
Point taken. I scrolled up, saw, and removed the post.

No excuses, but we are human too, and try as we might, frustrations can show in the way we post. I know Steve (RIP my friend) had previously "clued me in" when I was being a bit too blunt (and maybe too harsh, seeing as how my name is in red font) in a post, in the past, but that's just proof we make mistakes. I'm sure that's not a shock to anyone.

I agree, John. The timing on all this hasn't been great. And while the above quote is a valid complaint, I was only standing up for Chris and addressing the crap he was getting, not the overall problem.

This is an ongoing issue that affects ALL publishers across the entirety of the internet, not just Internet Brands. The problem is so severe that advertising publishers and partners now are discussing strategies on how to stop "rogue" bidders from taking over phone screens as it's seriously affecting all parties involved. This isn't something we can address and fix unless we forego 100% of the ads altogether.

Obviously this is an answer nobody likes (including us), but it is the unfortunate reality for the moment.

Old screenshots from the summer are pointless, because they are no longer the ads being served. Advertising space is usually sold in month-long intervals, so even screenshots from February would not be helpful for us in getting them blocked.

Just got one, and managed to ping the server (granted it had 100% loss). IP came back as 54.227.226.107 with the URL being lottosz.com/Ip/#Congrats

May not amount to much, but it is more information than I have gotten on the last couple of tries.

I want to say it is an older server though, as it still has an IPv4 address instead of an IPv6.

These things have been wearing me out lately. iPhone 6. Can’t just close Safari either. Have to “Clear history and website data” or this site just comes back up when I reopen Safari.

An update from me (on Android), I started using the site on my same phone again in the last month or so, and have not had any issues. I used to, I posted in this thread about 6-12 months ago probably. So maybe it's fixed in chrome for Android at least.
