Forums / Maintenance / Report Problems

This. Basically anytime I use a mobile phone to browse KYM, my browser gets redirected to the app store on my phone. I can press back to go to a previous page, but it happens again in like 2-3 pages.

It happens on Windows Phone, it happens on Android, and (as above) it happens on iOS.

So I was in the IRC when this ad went off. I was told to report it. It says its from anyclip?

Anyone having issues with invisible audio ads?

I've been getting this one that extends from the side and pushes the rest of the page away. Seems sitewide.

I've been getting these ads that pust the screen down from the top since maybe last night? It seems to be happening on most pages, though ironically this page that you're reading now seems to be the only page where it's loaded but not pushed down.

Having the same thing and same Ad. Haven't found any AdWare on my computer, so I'm wondering if it is the site.

Same issue here. Curse you The Wrong Mans ad.

Now the ads are trying to actually get us to actually install viruses. *facepalm*

These were all taken on a Windows Phone by the way. That was my first clue something was up. lol.

There's a bunch of autoplaying video ads with voiceovers, from The Outplay I think. There isn't even a way to shut then up!

They need to go…

This has consistently appeared on the top right every time I enter a page on this site. It's infuriating.

Why do we still have auto playing ads?

Kia Optima ad auto plays a bunch

Same with the Sorento

I've seen more. So i'll post them when I find them. I really hate having to close KYM in order to watch a video.

(Using Google Chrome)

^There is an option to mute specific tags in Chrome, though you have to manually enable it.

I have recorded proof of an autoplaying ad with audio and have experienced a myriad of others on this site.

Proof

This site was the very reason i got adblock, ive been countlessly redirected to malicious sites from KYM and thanks to Chrome it prevented the site from doing anything but to me that was the last straw

A pop up ad for "healthchecker247."

An autoplaying ad for Funny Or Die.

Found this one autoplaying :/

Who thought this kind of ad was a good idea?!

^That ad autoplays btw.

The audio only plays if you mouse over it.

The audio automatically plays on mobile, however. (Assuming you're logged in)

The video also takes up cellular data. I had to enable adblock for kym on my phone to prevent passing the limit.

After working hard to not mouse over it, I can say certainly that either the smallest fraction of a second clipping it on the very very edge of the ad is enough to play it, OR it keeps autoplaying regardless.

Either way, it's annoying.

After a few more days of this, I can confirm this is right… most of the time. In several instances I kept my mouse off to the side and it autoplayed regardless. The majority of times, it only plays if you mouse over it. Sometimes it plays for no reason.

(To be honest, these "optimized" ads are worse than the taboola clickbait – which we still have.)

I'm getting an autoplay ad that will randomly start playing and unpause this youtube video about a dog or something from the ASPCA with a really loud song.

here's the youtube video if you need it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIHfSrpj3Ao.

Edit: apparently its an ad that plays for a video on another ad which is snow-board.tv. that ad keeps itself muted but the fact that it brings this annoying loud ad that autoplays is a problem.

These auto-playing video ads are starting to get annoying since when they activate on mobile (or at least Android) they force any audio playing on the device, such as that from Play Music or Spotify, to pause, even though the ads are on mute.

Autoplaying mobile ad (bottom right)

Not autoplaying or pop-up per se, but this Mylife ad, if it loads, forces me into one of its text entry fields automatically on mobile.

when you turn off adblock for 5 minutes

kym also runs 20 times slower without adblock

oh noes my phone has 4 virus and the battery is broken!1!!!
this mobiley site is shit

edit: this popped up 3 times while I tried to make this post

Found by le noob

Got redirected to the play store by this site:

I'm constantly being redirected to ads like the ones asdf posted.

The sites mobiley.xyz and mobilew.xyz are the most common offenders.

yup, i've run into similar ones like that as well, with any luck they will be able to sort them out soon.

Autoplaying video.

An ad auto opened while i was on the home page and sent me to one of those false microsoft security sites called defender security something seems have been bundled with a virus

I've got a strange ad that forcibly redirects me to a site claiming to be BT saying I won a prize. The site redirected to is eu.definethemarket .xyz (left space to make sure I didn't give them any google boost)

I keep getting this ad redirecting to this page at random on here, interrupting my browsing:

I understand you need money, but this specific ad needs to go, it's legitimately intrusive.
