Two members are reporting that, since yesterday, their iPads have started redirecting to the App Store when they try to open our forum on a number of occasions www.hyperparathyroid.forumotion.co.uk.

How can this hijacking be fixed?

Hello,

We had similar reported problems in the past before, I will forward this issue again to our pro administrator.

It is advisable that they provide screenshots of where they are being redirected, thanks.

Thanks.

Hi Parbrook

Is it possible to have a screenshot please?
Thanks in advance

I will request some screenshots, but all that you will see is the page for an app in the App Store.

From what I have read on the internet, this issue is caused by javascript in the adverts that redirect the browser whenever these adverts are displayed .  It only happens on Apple devices and can only be prevented by disabling javascript in the browser.

Is there any way that we can disable javascripts in the adverts?

I have noticed that there is a related thread here: https://help.forumotion.com/t133064-913-java-ads

It seems to be Java and Flash adverts that cause the redirections.

I realise the Forumotion do not control the adverts, but it is a major problem when members and visitors cannot access the forums.

Yes, those threads are currently being looked into by FM's technicians.

It has been a long time with no news.

It would be nice to know that someone is working on fixing these redirection problems (flash and Java adverts).
