This time I've got encouraging news. We've made some adjustments and really think we may have severely stopped this.
If you get redirected after midnight Thursday morning please post here or email me [email protected]
Also please post or email where you got redirected from a)homepage b) forum index c) article or d) thread page.
Previous post on this:
My apologies if you've been getting redirected on LetsRun.com on your mobile phone. It primarily happens on iphones but also occasionally on android. It's an industry wide advertising problem affecting a lot of websites and ad networks.
Contrary to what some have posted, we DON'T want this to happen. We don't make any money on these ads as far as we know and definitely want it to stop.
Some links below on the problem but we're working with a new service to try and stop it.
If you get redirected after 8pm eastern today please email me [email protected] or post on here. Please email the URL you get directed to and your type of phone. Hopefully this problem is stopped.

You guys are definitely narrowing it down! I got redirected this morning but didn’t get the sight link. It happened when I was scrolling on the Homepage.

@Rojo Did you figure out who is passing these ads? Is it one of your header bidder partners via PreBid?

Working for me and this is the first time I have tried and WASN'T redirected.

Forgot to say if you get redirected can you tell us whether it was a)homepage b) forum index c) article or d) thread page.
If you just got redirected on homepage I feel better as we hadn't put in our prevention matters there yet. -

Hadn't happened for a few days, it happened between home page and forum index. -

Just happened to me on my Droid Z2 Force on this thread: http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=8730448
It seems to most frequently happen on political/racial threads (though I haven't done any scientific research on this). Perhaps Russian trolls are infecting us with Malware? -
2:17 PM Central time Thursday, just got re-directed from the homepage to Outside (again) on a iPhone 7Plus.
