    There seems to be some sort of click overlay...

    *This is the only site effected that I visit*

    There seems to be some sort of click overlay on this site. At first I thought it was some sort of click hijacker, but it seems to not matter WHERE on the pages here that I click. What happens is that on the fist click on a page, again anywhere, even where there are no hyperlinks, a second page will pop up that is all sorts of things, mostly advertising other sites or products.

    Again, this is the only site that I visit that this occurs. It started earlier today.

    It seems to happen on page on this forum. But will only happen once on each page.

    I messaged 1project2many yesterday concerning it. It affects all devices also. I use linux exclusively on my pc's but ran a scan anyway. Nothing was found on my devices.

    Adblock Plus blocks it. Add it to your extensions on firefox or chrome

    I am having a similar issue while trying to use this site while on my phone. I have no issue until today. I get auto redirected to a fake annoying ad. It seems to only be this site.

    I thought I had that installed already, but I didn't. That seems to have done the trick for me though. :tup:

    That's probably why I didn't see it at first. Still working on it...

    Thanks. The ads actually cycle through onclick.net. I just need to figure out what's causing it. I apologize for the mess...

    Yep. Still working on it, sorry. It's not a recent change but I don't know how far back I'll need to go.
