Hey, just wanted to let someone know the "new features" thread is redirecting me to a new page.

I tested this with several different internet browsers and had no issues (Chrome. Firefox, and IE). Was there a specific ad that you noticed on that page? What browser are you using? Has it happened more than once?

Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Also, have you run a malware scan on your computer or one for a virus? did your computer report a virus when the page redirected you?

I just got a popup for an iPhone 6 on the Nier feedback thread on this phone.

Actually it was on my phone. LoganRuckman was on his phone too, so maybe it only effects phone browsers? It wasn't a popup really, it opened up a new window on my phone and wouldn't let me close out of it.

I was previously using GoogleAds on these message board pages (they all have the same ad code) but in light on this I switched the boards over to a second service I also use for ads.

Let's see if this fixes the situation. Keep me posted.

Dave wants you to pay to avoid these.

Just use AdBlock and NoScript.

So, why are you here? That's a legitimate question. The last few posts I've seen from you have been complaints. I see this all the time, especially on comment sections of websites. I've never understood why anyone would hang around just to complain. You must be getting something out of this.
