I had to post this using the mobile site. I can't load any flyertalk page this morning. The content of the page loads fine, then the disruption causes the dialog box to appear.
American Express (canada) ads, on all 12 pages that I tried to load.

Flyertalk is the only site that gives these errors for me in Safari.
The American Express Canada ads continue to appear (on both browsers), and seem to be the cause of the problem.
Thanks for your help trying to rectify this.

Report Disruptive Ads /Advertisement on FT - PLEASE POST SCREEN SHOTS
When I visited the FT homepage just now, my browser displayed a dozen Flash-related Internet security popups. They cascaded across the screen. The ad URL they mentioned was "redir.adap.tv" -- the browser crashed a few moments later.
I'm running Flash 20.0.0.267 in Safari 9.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.11.2, visiting from the United States.
[Edit: it appears the follow-up message I posted containing a screenshot has been deleted for some reason. Attaching it here.]

Whenever I go to the Chase Forum for the first time in a FT session, this appears (grayed out screen with a tiny window and an X near the FT logo). Doesn't appear anywhere else and been occurring for about the past week. MacBook OS X 10.11.2, Safari 9.0.2, USA.

Thank you all for reporting these.
IB will be back at work Monday after the long New Year weekend to look these over.
In the meantime, all posts relating to i-devices (and seemingly some Android driven ones?) and problems with browser hijacking to mobfree.click have been consolidated to http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/techn...s-android.html.

Further to my message from New Year's Day, the same rogue Flash ad is still causing dozens of security popups to appear in my browser each time a new page is loaded. This is very serious: it appears the ad is attempting to do something nefarious, as shown in the screenshot above.

I am seeing the IHG full page gray out ads in the Marriott forum too. It has been for the last two weeks, but only occurs during the first Marriott forum page per session. OS X 10.11.2 Safari 9.0.2 USA.

For the time being I'm not visiting the site on my laptop, so this is the last you'll hear of it from me. Thanks for your help.
