Repeated annoying redirect/popup, only on FT
I hope this is the right forum for this. Mods, please move if not.
For some days now, I keep getting a redirect/popup on my iPhone from "rightnetwork dot club", clearly a scam site.
This only happens on FT. I am on dozens of other sites a day, so I assume it's not me or my configuration.
Is there some way to stop this, or am I doing something wrong? Thank you.

I'm really annoyed now. Every second page load starts some redirect. I can't even catch the first add since those redirects are just hopping URL to URL like crazy. If this continues FT becomes unusable on mobile.
hiw about at least offer a premium subscription without ads?

I'm getting sketchy-looking full-page roadblocks with a countdown "Continue to page in 10.. 9... 8..." feature, and at 0 the page just goes blank. The ad itself looks fake -- a sloppy PSA-looking thing surrounded by garbage font. Happens about every second or third time I attempt to load a forum page. Chrome / MBP.

Are these reports helping? Are people seeing fewer spam ads?

I made an interesting observation. Having used FT now at home using my Wifi I do not get any of those ads for quite a while. Switching to 3G/LTE suddenly the rodeo starts.
I appears those ads only pop up via mobile internet (which by the way also describes the scam charge I got last month from a FT ad)
i do not have any problem if this site finances itself via ads but clearly something has to be done about the mobile ads...

it's been non-stop for me lately, to the point where i'm avoiding FT.
iPad with the latest iOS (10.3.1) using safari, from USA.
the page won't fully redirect until i hit 'close', and then will complete the redirect to (in this instance):
http://rightnetwork.club/show.php?c=...7&t=1492092100

Please do something about it. It's making FT very un-user friendly right now.

Me too. On an iPad Air, running iOS 10.3.1 on Safari in the US. EXACT same symptoms.

I actually installed an ********** just to combat this problem. If it's fixed, I'll remove it, but the site is unusable in the meantime.
The hijacked page is on go (dot) goadvs (dot) com. I wasn't able to find the source, because neither Firefox nor Safari appear to offer the ability to keep your network log beyond navigation.
