There is some crap on the page that keeps popping up from http://mobiopanels.com on android that isn't caught by a popup blocker. Plus it doesn't allow you to say know to the popup.

I just nuked something that *could* have fit that bill, but there's no a lot of info. What was the ad for?

Changes take 2-3 hours to propagate through the ad network -- if you still see this mobiopanels garbage later tonight (after 9-10pm) or beyond, please let me know.

Hopefully what I just squashed (the same company that was causing ipad issues a week or two ago) will do the trick.

Is there anything we can do about advertisements in iframes that pop circular redirects? I have previously blackholed atdmt.com and other similar ad hosts in my DNS servers to prevent this from happening, but it seems that the advertisers have caught onto the fact people do this so now switch domain names frequently. The current one is named adnxs.com.

Clever ... Ads In Excess.

What this circular reloading does is it effectively breaks the back button in the browser window by flooding the history log with the same link and pushing anything useful out. Pain in the ass if you don't open every link in a new tab/window.

I've actually been trying to figure out how to squash adnxs.com on my end, but the problem is that they seem to buy blocks from basically all the remnant ad houses and present them in different ways. Where I can do domain level blocks (in two of the five sources we have) I have, the problem is these seem to come in as 3rd party ads within those networks, so then the blocks don't apply because they're external.

So, the point is I'm working on this and have some emails out, but I can't claim to be right on top of an answer.

Obviously this isn't news to you, but anyone else experiencing this issue can domain block abnxs by editing your HOSTS file accordingly.

Sorry about the headache. Only seems to really be a problem for MSIE users, but I don't take it any less seriously.

On a slightly unhelpful side note, if you have something for MSIE like the Firebug plug-in for Firefox and can drill down enough in the ad chain to figure out whether a particular ad is coming from Burst, ContextWeb, Advertising.com, Lijit, or Doubleclick -- then I can probably find those and squash them individually. The problem is it would be a never ending cycle that way, hence the effort to broaden the scope.

I've been able to domain block adnxs.com through another interface (but again, there are a number of them). I'll be interested to know if they go away for you, Dryden, and/or any of our other MSIE users.

Running in to the video ads again....TCS (Total College Sports) was playing twice on the same page just now.

Hey, MD. Thanks for the report. I'll need some info before I can really go looking though.

Were these in the 300x250 "Ad Monkey" positions, or in another location (top banner "leaderboard" or one of the right side wide skyscrapers (if so, which one from top to bottom? Was it on a computer, tablet, or phone? There's so much targeting across a few different ad networks, that it's all but impossible just to do single sweeping search anymore, particularly if I can't see the ad myself (haven't yet).

Thanks in advance!

US Army Futbol video in the usual ad monkey spot. Viewing on an iPhone and it keeps opening up my video player. Pretty damn annoying :lol:
