Obnoxious ad redirecting current page

This has been happening for a few days and is really getting on my nerves.

An ad on the forums just takes over the page and redirects it to somewhere else (usually some ad page that speaks—to add insult to injury).

The url it redirects to seems to be http://5o4f8.fafb.gdn/ which then redirects to some other site with the ad (it changes every time).

Please get rid of it. Thanks.

It case it matters, I’m using Firefox (with my adblocker disabled on this site), and I’m in France (the ads I get redirected to are in French).

I’ve made sure Ivo sees this, so he’ll look into it as soon as he can.

Thanks, Jackal.

I tend to have the forums opened in a tab most of the time while doing something else, and then that redirect ad is going to happen and start talking and make me jump in my chair—it’s driving me crazy!

Absolutely should not happen! I’ve escalated it to our advertising partner

Let me know if you still have problems, the advertising partner was able to find a bad partner and blacklisted them. We’re fairly confident that we found the culprit, but do let me know otherwise!

If you tell me what kind of info you need, I can try to get it…

I haven’t encountered the problem in a few days, but then again I haven’t spent much time on the forums this week. I’ll leave a tab open and let you know if it’s still happening.

Which browser do you use? Internet Explorer? Edge? Chrome? Firefox?

On Windows I’m presuming, from France if I recall correctly? Is the site that you get send towards in French still?

Tongue

(And yes, Windows 10)

Also, it’s (still) no longer happening. Maybe the problematic ad is gone?

It just happened again, but this time the adblocker caught it as it was trying to redirect the page. The URL it was trying to redirect to was:

http://ads.nextverge.com/in/nb1001385/?ads=ceig1nmd0w&referer=https://adventuregamers.com/forums/&p=nb1001385&click;=[ENCODED_CLICK_REDIRECT]&sitedomain;={http_referrer}&rand;=[RANDOM_NUMBER]&pubid;={publisher_id}&siteid;={site_id}&location=https://brain.rvty.net/RTB/ShowAd?adHeight=90&adWidth=728&adslotId;=&siteId=0&bannerId=52131&aid=9a2c9662-fb47-472d-a669-f7579cee771d&e=1&p=AAABXYjO4tLviYJxaKJCY4BvwokTJWp6fNmf3g&penc;=&a=9a2c9662-fb47-472d-a669-f7579cee771d&n=1&geo=385613&bp=288462&rawURL=https://adventuregamers.com/forums/&rawReferrerURL;=&uid=dc270923-034e-449b-a396-1662ea56c785&euid=8af4b225-ab67-4f6d-2db1-a5b2b614ee6a&appid;=&encn=N4IgNg9gxghgLgSwgOwJIBMQC4DMAOAVgDYBGHAGnBWwCYA6HAFhIHZKx5tG87CBOGpSgQArsjgAnAJ7YQAMQBKISgGc48AKazlIKAjgysIAAowJCFToBeCAA6yWBAAxOSOiRoDmSNCogBhCHQtIxAAXyA&dt1=0&dt2=0&dt4=2&dt5=2&dt6=0&dt7=0&dt8=13&dt9=NA&dt10=no:21|carbonmade|blogger|youtube|gmail|disqus|facebook|bitbucket|pinterest|google_plus|foursquare|battle.net|stack|expedia|hackernews|edx|tumblr|indeed|500px|medium|khan_academy|amazon.com;ok:4|dropbox|twitter|reddit|github;err:10|academia.edu|airbnb|flickr|meetup|paypal|skype|spotify|square|steam|vk 

Might that help? (Especially stuff like bannerId=52131 etc.)

Absolutely, that’s perfect! Going to follow up with our partner now.

Is that the URL that it was trying to redirect towards?

Yup. At least that’s where the adblocker (uBlock Origin, if that matters) caught it.
