I have only had the problem recently and I'm assuming it's TexAgs as I've only had this happen here. I'm clicking in threads or posts and getting redirected to a page that flips me into the App Store.

For example - http://tracking.crobo.com/aff_r?offer_id=12269&aff_id=2454&url=https%3A%2F%2F60660.api-01.com%2Fserve%3Faction%3Dclick%26publisher_id%3D60660%26site_id%3D53556%26offer_id%3D286790%26ref_id%3D102fd5934a4a54661ac014b69f1e5e%26sub_publisher%3D2454%26ios_ifa%3D%26advertiser_sub_campaign%3DW2_1_1_crob_250_ios_all_cpi_tier1-push&urlauth=588300368023897570743186649824

Happens to me as well on iphone/safari. I've deleted the browser cache and restarted...still happens. Happens too often can't really use the site from my phone.

I am having this issue on my iphone and MBP.

On my phone, it happens when using safari and chrome. It also occurs when I am logged in or out.

On my MBP, a click will redirect me to another tab and I have to come back to texags.

Thanks ooshwa. Is there anything you need us to test?

Yes! the best thing would be to grab a screen cap of the ad (on texags) when it occurs. This will help us locate which ad network it is coming from.

On my iphone, yes.

On my MBP, I am using Firefox and the desktop version. This is the only way I can post at the moment.

I was able to time the screen cap before the warning message popped up.

I was going to try looking at the desktop version on my phone, but safari and chrome immediately bring up the warning message. I'm unable to access the internet.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist y'all

ooshwa,

Did y'all do anything to alleviate this issue? Everything is working fine again and I was wondering what turned my luck around.

yes, we complained A LOT to our ad network

the ads were not intended on their part either, and i believe after enough complaints, they found and removed the campaigns

I hadn't see the issue for a while (days) until about 10 minutes ago - then bang, bang - two occurrences. I don't have a way to post screen caps. Is there a tech support email?

Hey Lucid, I saw the same behavior when browsing texags on my iPhone tonight. I noticed that the redirect happens every time an ad for Good Game Studios (GGS) is on the banner. Maybe that will help you or your ad company root cause it.

This is happening to me quite a bit too. In fact I was redirected twice trying to post this message. This really ruins the experience of your mobile site.

Getting this consistently on Nerdery. Its a GGS add that sends me to tracking.crobo.com and then I'm redirected to a random Google Play app.

I have App Store turned off, so it just kicks me out of my browser session. Annoying as hell.
