Description of problem

Cannot access the site without pop ups either saying I have a virus (computer) or some link saying I have won an iPhone (on iPhone). Needless to say I am sceptical of both and so don't click OK. I have tried my old username to log on to this forum but it seems to be invalid. It's not the same username I have registered here to post this thread.

Is your issue similar to this one: https://help.forumotion.com/t145609-only-topic-ads-redirection-mobile-pc ?

When I try (on the lap top) and enter anything in the log on screen, it immediately triggers a pop up that tells me the website I am trying access contained a virus and that should I want to run a virus checker, click the OK button. When I try on the iPhone, another pop up tells me you've won an iPhone and that if I am the owner of this phone, click the OK button. Neither of which do I ever do.

Hello @Frondlet,
Is this your forum?



From my pc I can access it normally, are you using and antivirus/firewall on your devices?

Yes! That's the one. Is it a Safari thing then?

Yes it sounds similar to the issue SLGray linked you to like some kind ad. I would make a report there . Include your forum url, screenshots of the ad and the link to it if possible.

Sorry - a report where?
