You most likely have a malicious app that you installed on your phone.

So several people have trouble with one particular site on their phones and you'd say it's an app? I think the common denominator, that we all have trouble with one particular site, is more likely the cause. It'd be hard to believe everyone on this thread has some sort of app that is the same among all of us.

I saw a thread posted a few weeks ago about the same subject but that one seems to have disappeared. It's good to see that there is some real conversation on this this time.

Common issue from watching too much porn on your phone.
Thats when I have the problem but its always my favorite p0rn sites that redirect, never s101.
It's either a rogue app or a virus. If you have an iphone its an app. Delete your cookies and history as a basic first check. If that doesnt work, google the redirect url and how to remove it. There are plenty of tutorials out there.

I go days without getting redirects... so you browsing for 20-30 mins and coming to a conclusion isn't really helpful. BTW, I just got one last night after a few days without seeing them.

I just went to a porn site, and it redirected me here. Ugh.

Can I take a stab and bet anyone getting the redirect doesn't have adblocker installed?

I just got a Walmart gift card survey redirect after being on this site for 1 min this morning. Was on it off and on yesterday and saw nothing.

I realized I forgot to enable the feature when I downloaded the new version.

For others to block the redirects place this in your address bar: chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture

And enable the framebusting needs same origin or usegesture feature. That is supposed to stop the redirects.

Has anyone experienced the same or similar redirects while browsing via desktop, laptop or tablet?
Or only an issue when browsing via phone? I simply am unable to reproduce the redirect on my end and I've browsed the site for hours.
No adblock installed. I simply browsing via Opera android app. Very curious indeed. It'd also be helpful if you guys seeing the redirects could tell us what type of phone you're using. Hopefully Signs101Admin is checking into his advertising system to see if there's a rogue ad of some sort. And perhaps if there is a rogue ad - it's only targeting specific devices. It's difficult fixing an issue that we cannot reproduce on our end... But we're trying. Thanks.

I use a fully updated chrome / pixel 2 xl.

It still could be a hack, in WordPress I was seeing malware selectively serve ads and scripts to users that weren't admins and weren't on admin ip ranges. They were getting very clever.

I get the same type of redirects on my phone for a couple of other sites too. It's not every time, just once in a while. In trying to find out what was causing it everything keeps coming back to an ad that is causing it. I'm using a samsung galaxy J3 with Android version 5.1.1. Have never gotten it on a desktop computer - I don't think I have on the tablet, but I don't use that much.

Only mobile for me, chrome on latest Android.

That being said it hasn't happened in over a week for me.

Ebarassing when I'm eating alone in a restaurant or standing in line at a checkout browsing signs101 and all of the sudden my phone starts talking out loud "congratulations". I quickly close it and hope ppl don't think I'm watching porn.

That's actually what it would do in landscape view on my iPad. No refreshing would help. Figured it was a website optimization issue since it consistently happened on only that device.

Never on PC only Phone.

Phone is Note 8 previously with 7.0 now with 8.1 and fully updated Chrome Beta. I no longer get redirects since I enabled the framebust flag.
