Spotify candy crush, and other App Store popups

[lovemachine]

More like christmas annoyance.

Just happened 2 more times.

1st time I have ever had a problem on my iphone on ingo. I have been redirected to the App Store for spotify or something like that. Has happened 6 or 7 times already this morning.

 

[lovemachine]

And now another 2 times.

This is getting old very quickly.

 

[Six Shooter Steve]

Yes it is. Looks like ingo is done for the day for me. Every 60 seconds or so it happens now.

I still haven't seen it on iPad, only iPhone.

I'm getting it on my iPhone on about 80% of my page loads. Only Spotify here.

*puts phone down and steps away*

Out of curiosity, does AVG make an app for the iphone platform? So far, I've seen a whole lot of nothing in the way of popups and annoyances on my android, but then the very first app I installed was AVG...

I've been getting them for a couple of days as well. I've tried clearing history, deleting cookies, turning off cookie storage, rebooting iPhone, all with no results. Every time I move to a different thread, it opens the App Store for something.
A royal PITA.

Yep, "Spotify" and "Candy Crush" here, too. An iPhone5. Really annoying,

When I was on my android phone yesterday, the only one I got was the one saying I was infected with a virus (ewww) and needed to download the app to get rid of it. It was a very good imitation of the page you get from an actual anti-virus program.

This is happening to me repeatedly...for the hundredth time, I wish INGO were compatible with Tapatalk or another board reader app....

 

[Mosinguy]

Keeps on happening to me. About one a minute.

I saw that one Saturday when I was using my Android phone.

It happened 4 times viewing this thread. From what I'm understanding it's an ad on ingo forcing the redirect. I'd love to find a solution, I've erased and reset everything. iPhone 4 with iOS 7.something.

Still nothing on iPad, but I just tried my phone and it happens on almost every single page load. It's obnoxious.

Anyone tried the mobile skin? I know it sucks, but maybe it would make the site useable.

This is just the next salvo in the war between annoying advertisements and the public. Apparently Apple added something that allows the popups and now advertisers are taking advantage.

I've been navigating with the mobile skin for several minutes with no redirects, FWIW.

I got it once but for the life of me can't remember what I was using when I got it. I passed this along to the more techy MODS to look into it also.

Source? Or speculation?

It's happening on android as well. It wouldn't be the first time INGO has displayed annoying advertisements.
