Is it just me or is anyone getting spammed and redirected to "good housekeeping" or some other women fit site?? It's just about every time I switch forums or open a post I'm redirected to bs...this is on an iPhone with current iOS on safari. I've never experienced this before.

I use tapatalk on my iPhone. Much easier for all forums with mobile device.

I just had to do a restore on my i-pad trying to get rid of that good housekeeping page.:spam:

I was getting some weird redirects last week on my PC at work to where it would just open in another site. Stopped happening though.

Hmm - sounds like some browser hijacker problem to me.

I just tried on my iPhone, Safari or TapaTalk - I am not getting any redirects.

On your iPhone - are you already using TapaTalk or some other forum browser app, or just straight browser?

If Safari - try


Clear information from your device

Al seems fine to me with the forum.
From the chatter out there, this redirect could potentially be originating from one of the Google Ads running on site, running some script.
Weird that they would be able to sneak it in - Google usually kills that kind of crap.

Please do let us know ASAP if anyone else notices any weir stuff.
Try to pay attention and to see if you can see the correlation with a banner add displayed on BWE at a time - we'll disallow it. ;)

Internet, crazy place

I had the same thing happen about a week ago, and i just restarted my ipad and it cleared it right up.
