Evertime I come on here now I'm thrown into this page and it's annoying to get back :(

    Try using a different browser on your phone like Chrome, install adblock and you should be okay.

     

     

    EDIT: You're using Chrome, install adblock extension for Chrome

    It doesn't seem to support extensions like pc versions do. It seems to have calmed down now was happening every time I entered the site.

    to be honest I am not sure where this comes from. I get this too but only when at home. I have researched why its happening and its not something we have placed intentionally.

    I will keep researching this.

    Thanks Steve :) it also seems to redirect to a site with an error too (white page) looked liked missing perl libraries or something. I wouldn't be surprised if it's some backdoor from one of the ads from google. With owning many sites myself over the years I have experienced many strange things happen. Is there no updates for codes that display the ads?

    It seems to have stopped although earlier the site kept going down and since then it's fine very spooky.

    I used to get those annoying banners, for Ford keycodes. I installed an ad blocker on my iPhone and now it’s gone.

    As long as it doesn't start me on the redirected thing l don't mind as l can read everything so it doesn't bother me for now 😂

    Afaik it's a rogue page hijacking advert from whatever ad network the site uses. Happens on other sites too. Your best bet to get off the page once you're on it is to go into the tabs menu of Chrome (android) and close the offending tab, and navigate back to the site from scratch. Pressing back may just load the advert again.
