Support NeoGAF

[Musky_Cheese]

Using my iPhone and Google I get the "Congratulations Google User" pop ups.

I don't get any pop ups when using desktop chrome tho. No I do not ad block.

 

[Atra Mors]

No pop ups on desktop (Chrome, no ad block).

 

[Corderlain]

None today so far on mobile version of chrome. Light usage.

 

[Sneetches]

None so far today, using Safari on iPhone.

 

[Catphish]

None so far today, and my gratitude overfloweth.

 

[Corrik]

Site is literally unusable right now due to full page ads overtaking browser.

 

[BaitZaDust]

Just got another one

 

[Catphish]

yeah, it is now, literally, the worst it's ever been for me. 100% of all attempts to visit the site end in a google ad redirect. Couldn't even log in. Logging in now from PC.

 

[BANGS]

This is why I don't come here on mobile and only browse during work hours mostly. Gamefaqs used to have the same issue but it's a lot better now...

 

[Sneetches]

Yesterday they came back 100% of the time, couldn’t use the site. Today only happened once out of the several times lurking offtopic. Different ad today, same ad yesterday

 

[Corderlain]

Just got probably 20 redirects in a row. Same google one.

Safari and chrome on iOS. extremely aggressive lately and particularly today, I'm shocked I've been able to type this long without being interrupted

 

[mneuro]

It just took me at least ten tries to load gaf without this Google redirect.

 

[Rentahamster]

Just got that Google reward one too.

 

[EviLore]

Yeah I’m having trouble today as well.

 

[12Goblins]

OK I'm getting a Google rewards ad saying I won a galaxy S8 everytime I go to this site on my android through Chrome. Happens every single time, and I'm unable to go back to the site when it happens, which is every time. I had to install Firefox on my android and it seems to work thus far.. Any way to fix this?

 

[Grinchy]

I don't understand why everyone is so upset over winning all these free smartphones and $1000 gift cards. You should be grateful!

 

[Platinumstorm]

Yesterday gaf was unusable on my phone due to this.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Yeah, GAF is unusable on Pixel 2 XL with the Chrome browser. It's damn near every page load that "Google Winner" with the annoying chime pops up. Sadly, GAF is relegated to PC only at the moment. I really hope EviLore has a plan to fix this. Can I just give a $1 a month and not have any mobile ads? Keep them on regular PC browser as they are pretty unobtrusive, but mobile is just plain awful.

 

[davepoobond]

Uhhh. Did they stop? I was able to go to like 6 pages without a pop up

 

[Cleared_Hot]

It's still bad. It may have infected my phone

 

[Winchester]

Couldn't use it at all yesterday on Chrome via Android. Literally EVERY time I navigated back to Off-Topic, the same Google ad fired up after about 10 seconds. Had to switch to another browser to get some relief.

 

[ickythingz]

Android on Chrome is the big offender for me as well. There are times when I can not view the website for a whole day or 2 due to pop ups. Just an FYI.

 

[Spheyr]

NeoGAF is unusable on Android/Chrome

 

[cpp_is_king]

Why is this problem still here years later? The site is unusable on mobile. No other site has these problems, so clearly there is a solution. I cannot load one single page without getting redirected, I tried 10 times in a row

EviLore

 

[xStoyax]

I'm usually on desktop, but did try on mobile yesterday with safari and kept getting redirected.

 

[decisions]

Safari on iPhone here, site is literally unusable due to instant redirect ads unless I log in.

Logging in seems to make them rare/nonexistent for me. Can’t remember seeing them but not ready to confirm.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Tyler,

It is impossible to even view neogaf on my iPhone in either safari or chrome without getting hit with a “You are the winner of a $1000 Amazon Gift Card”. Desktop is unaffected.

I’ve done some research and everything says it’s server side. I’ve cleared phone cache and everything but to little avail.

Just making you aware.

 

[888]

I switched to Firefox and it doesn’t pop up anymore.

 

[EviLore]

Roger. We'll disable mobile ads entirely for the time being. Stand by.

 

[Catphish]

Just wanted to check in and report that things have been perfectly clean the last few days. Thanks for getting it sorted.

 

[Deleted member 752119]

I'm not getting anything on PC, was getting the browser directs on iOS though so thanks for disabling those until it's sorted!
