I was on a thread scrolling through the responses and I was suddenly redirected to this advert. This is the first time I see such ads on here.

which thread was this? this usually happens when a forum user's signature contains some links (images or scripts) - which expire and are taken over by malicious scripts that push out ads.

Tried the link shared by munak, no issue with this pop up redir. But I haven't had this problem ever since I reported it in April.

But from my original post and screenshot, you'll see it's that Bukit aman thread before I was redirected to the scammy site.

Looks like munak991 is correct. The popup happen after idle awhile at all thread anywhere everywhere, including this pagr im writting the reply now (which has no signature linking to external site) so its not like what u mentioned.

It's not idling I think. I was just scrolling this thread particular thread just now and it popped up.

Like the other guy I quoted also, happened today.

I've found a temporary fix
The offending advertisment will take ages to load and will appear as blank box.
You'll need to click the X to have Google not show that advertising again

I noticed that there are plenty ads that take a while to load. But I've never seen the pattern where it loads and we're then redirected.

we have removed a bunch of suspicious ad networks from the site. Do update if these ads are still appearing.

Big thanks! Will report if issue persists.
