Bad Ads

Browsing a thread and bam, browser taken off to some malware/scum website.

Browsing sites like this (PH I mean) without strong anti-script protection is asking for trouble.

Same issue that's been raised on this thread - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... - since July this year.

Only way of stopping it completely will be to install a decent adblocker as, based on the thread linked above, the usual response from HM will be that it's a rogue ad, they can't replicate the issue but will continue to look into it.

Of course this ignores the fact that if HM hadn't flooded PH with the spammy Outbrain & Taboola clickbait links & kept a better eye on who manages their ads this wouldn't be an issue.

Thank you for reporting this, Colin!

I'll forward this on to the ads team.

Many thanks.

Just had a few this evening again. It’s been okay for a while so I was surprised to be them again.
Back in the summer I did download the recommended ad blocker but it wasn’t so good on my iPhone.
Hey ho!

[colin79666]

Yep, happening again tonight. Run various script blocker things on the desktop but iOS is limited and it shouldn’t come to that anyway. I accept PH needs to be funded but this ain’t cool.

Thanks Colin, I'll pass this on again.

We had hoped we'd solved it, but apparently not!

Thanks
