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:

Same thing here on iPhone. Just did it again as I was in this forum. Stupid video. F the army :)

But seriously it keeps shooting to full screen video playback

I'm getting video ads on iPad, in the AdMonkey position.

I'm also getting popups for Nikon Camera:

I've gotten the army/futbol add a few times today on my laptop. Thankfully the sound is muted by default.

Yep, the non mobile version of the ad walks a razor thin line in terms of being appropriate, (muted audio, etc.) so it's still there. It was squashed for all mobile devices because it was breaking out of its assigned position and commandeering the screen. That it was doing it on every load was insult on top of injury.

Has anyone noticed or received complaints of a buy possibly stemming from BP that causes redirects on google searches? I seem to pick this up from time to time, and BP seems to be one of my few constants.

You mean when you are searching random stuff on Google, not on BP? Or trying to get here from a Google search and winding up elsewhere?

The former likely isn't BP. The latter would be something we should check, as it sounds like something we squashed a year or so ago.

The latter, though you've confused me with your spatiality. I try to google search and end up redirected. I'm not saying I know for certain it's BP, but just seems to be the one site I'm always on.

Bus, are you saying when you do a Google search (on google.com) for BP and click through the link (in an effort to go from google.com to buckeyeplanet.com) you end up somewhere else?

Or that when you do that for another site the same happens?

I may just need a clear step-by-step of what you do and what you experience that is outside of what's expected so I can understand how it may relate to something going on here. For example, last year a hacker managed to steal some of our Google search traffic (people searching for things that pointed here, and a portion of them were redirected to a file hositing site) by inserting a bit of code in our pre-load header. That's not currently going on, but it's a pretty common attack that sites have to deal with. So in that case someone would have done a search on Google, found a link to BP, clicked on that link (on Google) and been redirected somewhere besides BP.

Extra credit if the issue is something you can reproduce (or not) in another browser. Sometimes that helps us narrow it down to a user-side browser issue (also very common, we just dealt with one of those yesterday).

Actually, I just reread your message and it sounds to me like you're asking if we've received reports of a bad ad that injected some sort of code that causes the sort of browser problem that would cause the problems you're describing.

If that's the case, no. The only truly problem ads we've seen lately are of the type that expand, play audio, etc.

While it's possible on literally any site that has ads) that an asshole can sneak a truly malicious ad through (happened on CNN some time ago, for example), we work with well established networks that have strong safeguards in place, and we're small/niche enough that it would be shocking if someone was able to get one targeted here.

So the answer to that question is no. We continue to screen clean (ads and all) by way of Google, Sucuri, and a handful of other monitoring tools I use.

Sorry about the confusion in terms of the response. We deal with every possible headache you can imagine, they take all forms, and sometimes it's hard to find the language to differentiate one from the other.

Last year's issues with redirects... Ugh. Just ugh.

I was saying that when I go to google.com and try to search for any site, including BP at times, I get redirected. I got this bug bad about a month ago, and I was redirected a few times this morning (but shut down explorer (yes, I know, explorer) and it went away).

That's pretty common, and it's almost certainly going to be something in your computer. If it doesn't happen in other browsers, than it's going to be limited to MSIE (good news). You might hit the computer forum about it, there are people far more knowledgeable than I am.
