Web Page Opens While on BYC

Date sort Score sort
I've been using my iPod touch for BYC and these are the ads I've been getting too. It's pretty annoying. So far it hasn't happened on the mobile app, but if I use safari, these ads constantly pop up. It's been very frequent over the last few days. Thought it was just me, but I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this.
 
Am seeing some of the same ads popping up on laptop with google chrome.
Comes and goes for the last 3 days or so.

Glad to know it's not my computer, only happens on BYC.
 
It is still happening to me... I managed to slow it down just now by resetting the browser setting to not automatically redirect without checking first.

But it is definitely NOT fixed in internet land
 
I just received the following email from my antivirus security provider. This is their recommendation. I didn't go through the text editor here, so the links are probably not live... I just cut & pasted what they wrote.

I've been surfing site all day, no more pop up adds!

Okay, we worked through all the steps recommended by the antivirus folks, and it seems to have completely stopped the redirection. I even have restored the ability of pages to redirect/reload in my browser, but the ad redirections seem to have completely stopped. IDK if BYC managed to fix the bad ads, or if it's the ad blocking software, but things are good here now.
