    I spend a TON of time on another site that also uses the XenForo software, with no redirects at all. I can say for sure, that if I select the "Request Desktop Site" (in the Chrome menu), it no longer does it for me. If I deselect that, it will redirect me within a couple minutes. Hope that helps

    I'll try the desktop option, thanks for the heads up, site is almost annoyingly unusable... Every 5 links a redirect...

    Did that work for you? Still zero redirects here.

    Yes, it did! Thanks again for the suggestion! Seriously was unusable after a few page views, now it's working great, no redirects here either. I'd like your comment more if possible, I'm sure it helped a lot of members on here. Probably should be stickied or something :)

    Yeah can't use Chrome on mobile at all - no probs with Firefox though (other than it sucks).

    Yeah, I still have get re-directs on my mobile, regardless of the thread or the sub-forum. I like to check Clutch on my commute, but it's almost impossible now with all of the redirects.

    it happened to me every time from my phone. Annoying as soon as I was about to submit..
    then I downloaded an ad block browser and no more fake prizes.

    Me too, on the mobile version, making the site unusable. In my case, it's a fake "virus" warning, but I have to close the browser.

    Downloaded Opera to stop this annoying pop up and it worked for a while, but I've been getting them again just from a different site.

    No pron ever on phone but constant redirects from CF. I've started stopping the page load and that seems to work, w vigilance.

    Same here. Get on average about 8 sec of viewing on iPhone before redirected to google viru alert. Never happens on iPad.

    I've been getting hit hard with spam virus messages on this site. I'll try switching from Safari to Chrome. It's happening on a lot of iPhone with different sites.
