"Irritating hijacks continue, still no ability to back out of them - have to close the page and return to FT."
Same thing happens to me. Probably will stop using FT altogether on mobile because it's so consistent and frustrating.

And can I also say that posting really large screenshots of irritating ads is now becoming irritating in itself !

Agree with Silver Fox post #328. Flyer Talk has become unusable on mobile, hijack happens every single time. Does management not notice this happening themselves?

I guess that explains a lot. I think some of us would be less frustrated if someone from Internet Brands got on this thread and said they were working on the problem. It's lack of any feedback that is frustrating. Maybe they did, and I missed it?

Nearly every time I'm on this board I get redirected and only on this forum. It has gotten to the point that when I log on Kaspersky gives me a possible scam site warning. When asked by the software if this is accurate I send Kaspersky a yes, with the redirects always going to scams.

Use:
So that it hides the image for those scrolling by.
That'll be all.

I think the level of feedback from IB within this thread says it all really.

And +1000 on the second part, FT is the only site I frequent that has these issues.

If we cant get ads in order, we might as well just add a tax on Secret Santa or an entrance fee to large DOs. Seriously, these issues have been getting progressively worse over the last few weeks not better
