Phil FAO 22:54 - Mar 22 with 3910 views | The_Romford_Blue | Why do I keep getting pop ups on iPhone on every thread I click on taking me to a rewards page for loyalty via Facebook and Boots. Literally every thread. Deleted cache cookies history etc but it’s onlu on TWTD. All day today | |

I’m getting the same, almost making the site completely unusable. | | | |

Phil FAO on 08:22 - Mar 23 with 3701 views | ZedRodgers | Same for Zed. Have had the same problem before. Gav posted this in response last time: Gav - TWTD virtually unusable on my iPhone this weekend. by GavTWTD 24 Feb 2019 11:09I’ve googled the issue and it suggests that it may be down to some malware. You would be more at risk if you follow illegal streaming sites and if you have jailbroken your device.
Some reccomend installing Malwarebytes, but you’ll see a few solutions from apple.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8405924 I’m not sure it’s just an Apple issue though. Seems to be a problem with the site exclusively. I don’t think it’s Zed who needs to take action. Even mid-way through typing a post the page will zoom in and redirect. EDIT: even more unusable than yesterday. The redirections are those peak annoyance ones which make the ‘back’ button redundant. Somebody put the Zed bat-light in the sky when it’s resolved or if I’m needed. I’m off to have some morning ganja and a break from technology. One love. [Post edited 23 Mar 2019 8:27]

It’s certainly not exclusive to us. It’ll be down to a common advertiser like Google ADx and i need to get my ands on an iphone and I’ll try to see if I can sort it. Looks like that’s my job for today. Edit. I've got my hands on an iphone5 and it's not unfortunately displaying the same behaviour so I'm unable to make changes and test.

Sorry Gav. In hindsight that came across as a bit patronising on my my behalf. You undoubtedly know more than me about what the likely cause is. If it’s any kind of helpful context, I don’t have the issue elsewhere and it seems to be a similar thing which springs up on here every once in a while. | |

If it helps this is the url when the pop up pops up. https://eu.bestcardgamesyearold.world/9b86a97b1f7f4fa4356832cab637f7f5/index.htm | |

Unfortunately that doesn't help. I need to remove ads one by one and just judge by responses on here. | | | |

Can I email or phone you with any issues I may be having, Support? I keep seeing my housemate's cat's bumhole when it's strolling about. Any way to fix this? Cheers. | |

Just messaged you. Same on an iPad every 20 seconds or so for a ‘fake’ BT pop-up. Only this site is doing it | | | |
Phil FAO on 10:21 - Mar 23 with 3460 views | GavTWTD | Several people are saying "this is the only site it's happening on" but what happens on all sites is they show the most lucrative ads first and slowly trickle down to cheaper ads. If you use sites and visit 50 pages you might see the same things there. I have done on ebay for example, so it's not exclusive to us. Someone has said it's happening on ipads so I'll investigate that. It's just happened on MarkTWTDs so it should happen on mine too. | |

It's not so much a case of seeing it, but being redirected to it regardless of what you do or what you click on. You could type twtd.co.uk/forum into your mobile browser, click on a thread and get redirected to the URL posted earlier. Other times you can access the thread without a problem, but clicking page 2 takes you to that other website. It's not just clicking through pages which triggers it though. If you're typing a response to a post on mobile, all of a sudden the entire page will zoom in by itself. If you attempt to zoom back out so you can see the whole text box to continue typing it redirects you. Once it's zoomed in, you know by clicking into the text box again it will take you to the other website. Only seems to be a mobile issue for me. | |

Thanks Gav. It’s just an annoyance really. Particularly when redirecting as I go to post and you lose everything you’ve typed. | |
