Yes it’s this website they apparently allow it to happen as part of their advertising. It’s weird that sometimes I don’t get it for months at a time then this week after thier piece of crap update I’m getting it all the time I couldn’t even get on here at one point last night. I don’t get it on my computer I think my ad block takes care of it there but my iPhone is a different story and what I use to get on here the most. It sucks internt brands seems to be taking steps to completely ruin this site which is a shame. But to be fair they did go back and make the font bigger for all the post I get it that they need money to run the place and keep the severs on but they got plenty of ads on here without making it so invasive that your automatically redirected to some B.S.

I suppose sometime practicing the quick draw, ya sometimes shoot yourself in the foot

Mozilla Firefox for a PC web browser, with "ABP" Add Blocker Plus as an add on. Can also get and Adblock browser for your smart phone (at least Android phones) to do the same thing for your phone. Go into the settings and uncheck the box that says "Allow Acceptable Adds".

Now enjoy add-free internet bliss. If websites (any) can't stop themselves from putting this intrusive bullcrap on their sites, at least we have the ability to shut it off from our end.

You're welcome.

What can I install on my iPhone to resolve this.

FTE is unusable to me on the iPhone because of the "Amazon" popup which has nothing to do with Amazon.

Thanks! I'll check that out. Still would be better if the admins here could figure out and eliminate the source, This is the only site I regularly visit which has this problem; others do, but I just don't go back.

Clear your browser history and delete your cookies and try again.

or switch from safari to chrome for browsing. It doesn’t do it on this site, however other sites it does. It’s on the device and not an FTE issue.

It’s spam. I’m getting it on this site now where I wasn’t before. On the org I get it all the time. According to Apple it’s a site software security issue. I got through all the resets and reboots Apple has you do to no avail. I visit a number of sites and it’s only these two mentioned that have the redirection. You don’t want to hit the site though, you need to back away.

I may be trying the blocker mentioned. I don’t care to, the admin is where it should be addressed.

Maybe the site administrator did something. This is the first time in about a week I’ve Been able to be on it more than 5 seconds without those ads popping up. This is the only site that did it.
