Getting Redirected

[Shawn Hopkins]

Keep getting redirected to fake Forbes site that promises it can double my IQ. I'd have to halve it to fall for its pitch. This happens even on Safari on iOS and it's a pain because it's not a pop up, it actually takes me away from the threads so I can't read them.

Hey Shawn,

I've not been able to recreate this issue on my side yet, but let me know the following:

-- Is this happening on a computer, tabelt or iphone?
-- What country are you located in?
-- Does it only happen on the CBR Community or on the main site, too?
-- Can you post a screen grab of what you're seeing?

We'll get to the bottom of this.

On my iPad. To get here just now I had to get past a very aggressive redirect to a site called video stripe, that happened twice in a row. And once to a fake site made to look like Discover magazine.

I'm in the U.S.

It happens on various forums here and on the forum index. I hardly ever go to the news pages.

I'll try to grab a screenshot.

I've been getting this sporadically, as well, on my iPhone.

Glad it's not just me!
