WarriorSoul Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Sorry to reopen this topic of conversation, but I'm still having this issue of getting redirected to various ads come up multiple times every time I log into CN. Not sure if it's still persisting with anyone else, but I figured I might as well bring it to someone's attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceres Soveign Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm getting them every time I view a PM. It's quite excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Have you tried (temporarily or non) turning off ads in your profile?eg, uncheck \/ in your profile. Site ads for nation bonus: Provides income tax bonuses on tax collections If the above doesn't help:By any chance are any of you using using Chrome? If so, you may have a rogue plugin, or rather, an adware plugin. Chrome silently auto-updates plugins, and some adware authors have started taking advantage of it to sneak malware into people's browsers by buying legitimate plugins and 'updating' them to contain adware.

killjoy123 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Its not the settings because it happens here on the OWF too. I only use Firefox and I got the ads. I also don't have any plugins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodigal Moon Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 It's happening to me pretty frequently as well. I read some discussion on a completely unrelated forum about this issue, and they were getting sent to that same lgze-mode (or whatever) website. The speculation was that an ad out there has been "hijacked." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icewolf Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Had it happen on the game, and then when I came on here, so I gave up getting onto CN. Then it redirected me from another site, so I cleared my cookies and now seem able to get to the forums again. Not tried CN yet, and won't until someone can post an explanation or admin posts that a fix has been achieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I've temporarily disabled ads in the game until this problem is resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samus Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 It's a thing to do with flash based ads served by google ads, I didn't notice it on this site as I have adblock on, but happens to me on one of my personal sites too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icewolf Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 THis isn't limited to CN-I've installed adblock now but I was getting redirected from other sites so I guess the above explanation is the correct one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
