What's your feedback as to once you are logged in, if having ad code running or not makes a difference?
What's your feedback as to once you are logged in, if having ad code running or not makes a difference?
Thanks, please let me know.
The problems currently all seem to be affecting mobile only (iOS and Android), however I am completely unable to reproduce them. Can you please see if you can give feedback about whether the problem occurs with/without ad code running for you?
Sounds like you have a good chance of testing this properly. Can you please use the style selector dropdown in the footer to select the "no ad code" version of the site (the background of the site will turn green) and review?
When i had tried navigating to the noads site from the regular site, I had the issue.
Never withessed a green background either way, did notice a lack of legit ads.
just tried it now, have a green background, however this is going directly in from safari.
not seeing any dropdown box like yesterday so I really cant try that.
Navigating away from the main noads page while logged in on my iphone put me back on the regular site again.
My login wouldnt work from the regular homepage on the iphone either, kicked me back to the login again.
Sorry I cant really review as you have requested... Hope this is somehow useful.

OK, I tested noads and had no popups on that page. I did see the green background but only on the front, landing page. I logged in, and because I'ma donor I don't see ads. I had no popups.
Going in through noads and not logging in brought me the popup first time I scrolled while reading a thread.
Its definitely an ad triggered by a mobile device scrolling, probably in the javascript somewhere.
Website for popup claimed to be us.tranquilzing890kd.xyz
This was all with an iPhone 7 and Safari.

Sorry, I didn't explain that well.
That said, based on Hikari1's experience it looks like this is ad code related, and the site itself hasn't been compromised, which is good news in that it helps narrow down the cause.
- Don't use the /noads link anymore. It only worked on that one page and not the rest of the site. Therefore I developed the style changer which is site wide. I have removed the /noads link to avoid confusion.
- Please use the style changer which changes the background green to do any testing

Phase (only): Please try the following. I have already changed your style to the no ads code style, so as soon as you are logged in, you won't have any ad code running.
1. Go to diyAudio - Alternate Homepage - No Ad Code (I've reactivated this for you)
2. Enter your login details and press submit, this should set your login cookies so every time from now on, you'll be logged in (unless you're using incognito mode in your browser)
I've sent you a PM, be great to connect on Skype with you.

The current issue reported is only happening on some people's mobile devices, some of the time (and for some people, most of the time), there are no current active issues with desktop browsers.
I am getting a 404 error when trying to go straight to the noads from safari.
ok, got in there before the popup could take me out... This was from the regular ads page, not searching for the noads like before.
Now that im in, onto the noads page, it is frozen, wont allow me to login; shows me on the noads but not logged in, the ad script must have got me.
and i dont have skype setup on this ipad, feeling like a luddite about now.

I can't really explain this behaviour. diyAudio - Alternate Homepage - No Ad Code should not / cannot return a 404, I am guessing you typed in the wrong URL as the webserver won't return a 404 in response to that HTTP request.
I'll assume from here you managed to get that URL to load. If your page is frozen then there is likely something else going on with your browser or phone. Can I suggest killing the browser process and trying again, and if that doesn't work, restart your phone, restart your browser and manually type in that URL. Thank you.
Jason,
You are correct. The popup only happens on Mobile devices with ads enabled. The site itself is clean. Google is serving up this dreck and I doubt there is anything you can do to eliminate it. I see it everywhere google ads are served, periodically.
The only way I can imagine to track down which ad(s) is/are serving it up is to limit the site to one advertising block, not the two we currently have, and collect reports of what the underlying ad is when the popup was triggered. I suspect we'll find there are multiple offenders. There are certainly multiple URLs listed as sources of the popup.
Apple doesn't allow AdBlockPlus on IOS/Safari, but that would disable it. Mozilla's do-not-track mode also disables it, but not available on IOS.

I had typed in"www.diyaudio.com/noads" and gotten a 404 screen that also explained that there was some work being done to the site.
The url never would load.
just passing through the regular site has detrimental effects, and even if I do make it to a login, am without any ability to navigate.
Wish I could use an ad blocker with this iphone...
