Sometimes I get all 3, sometimes it will be only one. But this is the only website it happens with. And I can't just hit back and get away from it, I've got to completely close out of the browser and start over.
You have the hummingbad malware infection on your phone. It's going around big-time on Android phones download avg Free or avast Free for your phone, install. Do a scan, let it find the threats, delete. Reboot your phone, do one more scan and you should be fine.

If they come back clean, than it must be fte's forum software has been hit by some kind of malware virus. I know the hummingbad malware has been hitting everyone running Android OS. This shouldn't effect the iPhone iOS. There mobile sites iis must have been popped as this seems to only be from mobile devices, sounds like.

for me i just looked at it as more of a popup banner... gets right in the middle of the phone screen and wont let you X off it.. then eventually redirects my phone to a new page... its very annoying...

Same here, kind of annoying because it won't let you just back out of it.
