Welcome to the new AndroidForums (Round 2)

Well, this is by design. Wouldn't the reply be more meaningful than just saying so?

I'll chat with the boss and see what he thinks.

Yeah, but it's a 1 word game. Just wondering why I could post before and now I can't. Thanks anyway ☹️
 
I do not know if anyone else is getting this but this bullshit is back in play again.
1st - I haven't visited any sites like it says I did.
2nd - I was checking AF msgs and the browser got took over before I could finish reading.
3rd - I'm running Nougat 7.1.2

It's very likely that tapping OK on that Chinglish ad would have taken you to Cheetah Mobile Clean Master in the Play Store, as recommended by AF and Phandroid last week.... :thumbsupdroid:

I promise I didn't tap on anything other than my keyboard and was in the middle of writing a reply to a PM when the browser was completely taken over, hence my bringing the subject to your attention. Plus if ya notice, I got the fake "you have a virus!" Browser hijack BS instead of a direct link to playstore app..

Has anyone else seen that? Those are the absolute worst. I'll pass it to our ad guy.

Yeah.. Ya can't even hit the back button repeatedly to get back to AF site, have to swipe the page off and restart at a bookmark

@Phases Yes me, back in August.

For information, this came up on AF this morning. I know it's a fake ad, but others might not. Come to AF looking for help with an Android device and end up with something nasty on it instead, nice!!

...and I'm pretty sure that was a Cheetah Mobile Clean Master ad....in exactly the same prose as today's one.

I do normally use ad-blocking on websites, including AF and Phandroid, and so not seen it since.

You know I don't want to sound like a pork butt here buuuuutt....

I really don't like the design!

I can never find anything!

I am getting hated by everyone because they keep telling me I am ******** because I keep posting things in the wrong place but I used to know where everything is but now I don't!

Some one set us up the bomb!

 
The new chrome stable automatically blocks those virus ads. FYI the AF security certificate expired so chrome is freaking out that I'm here now.
 
Yep, chrome just told me it blocked an ad while I was browsing AF. I purposely pressed to let it so I could see where it would take me, screenshot attached.
