In order to figure out the cause, we need to know at least the following info:

- Device Type (eg, Iphone vs Android)
Browser
- Version of TigerDroppings.com (desktop vs mobile)
- Name of App and the name of the developer (screen shot of app store page helps)
- Last time it happened

It would also help to get the clickstring of the ad that is likely causing the issue.

This issue has been plaguing the internet for at least a year. I get it sometimes on other sites but rarely on TD. It mainly affects users that use the desktop version of this site while on their mobile devices. I mainly use the mobile version, so I guess that is why I don't get the issue on TD.

You may also try clearing your mobile device's browser history/cookies as we have heard that helped some people in the past.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

It hasn't been nearly as common lately, but it still happens. I'll clear my history and see if that helps. Thank you for handling it.

I don't really look at the ads, but one was a game and there are a couple of others. I'll pay more attention next time.

iPhone 6 safari mobile, most commonly Zynga games, can't remember specifically which games.

I never use the regular version of the site on my phone and have gotten it like 5 times this week all on mobile.

I went to Restrictions under the general settings on the iPhone and turned off installing apps and that seems to have done the trick. I can tell it's trying to redirect me still but it blocks it and stays on TD.

I remember having this problem quite often a while back but then went away. The last week it's kicking back up again.

This did the trick, and should for any iphone. Thanks also to Captain Lafitte in the other thread for the info.
