TOPIC | Weird Ad Stuff?
1 2
Let me preface this by saying I have not been on any sketchy sites, downloaded anything or given myself any reason why this should be happening. I haven't used public wifi either. I don't even know if this is relating to FR but I'm giving it a shot. Before you discount me, please read. It's only happened here.

I logged on this afternoon (I woke up late), got a weird alert on my pc relating to FR that disappeared before I could read it. Then when I was at Tomo's I got a pop-up ad in the corner. A very bad pop-up ad. Exited out of it, nothing happened. Then, when gathering, I clicked on the white space after selecting Arcane so I could scroll down without it changing flight. A new tab opened up from clicking on nothing with a weird url. Before the page could load I exited out.

I'll update if I experience this anywhere else. I've really only been on Youtube and Flight Rising lately, so I'm concerned as to why it's happening here. I don't really know what I expect to get out of posting here, it could be my computer but so far it's exclusively on FR. I figured this was the best place to ask about it, and maybe see if it's happened to others.

(Also, my computer has always listed FR as not secure but I never really cared. This is the first time anything sketchy has ever happened.)

I'm having the same issues. There will be a small white box with some sort of strange ad in the top right corner and I keep having to close it out. Not only that, but I've had my time in the coliseum interrupted several times due to random pop ups.

Same and most of the time, if I don't reload the page(or accidentally click something before reloading), it'll open a page that tries to download multiple things.

So far, I'm just glad Chrome detected it and stops it, but it's quite bothersome and really reduce my interest to stay on FR...
I love the site, but if it's to get my PC infected, no thank you.

Sounds kind of like my issue, apparently something is going on. Whenever I click on dragons in my lair to view their page, every now and then one of them will have a 'Your McAfee Subscription Has Expired' (or some phrasing like that) banner in the righthand corner. ...I don't use McAfee, never have, so I know it's nonsense. When it's there, it prevents me from bonding with my dragon unless I refresh the page to get rid of it, and today it tried to direct me somewhere despite me not clicking on it at all and my computer blocked an intrusion attempt.

What in the world?? This also only happens here, and it only happens on my dragons' pages o.o

Yup, same ad issues here. Pop up type ad in the top right, and random websites that come up or I get redirected to for no apparent reason while browsing FR that try to trick me into dowloading malware.

Flash keeps running. It is coming from the ads. I have flash blocked, but it is causing some really big problems with my computer. You guys need to fix this as you have some sketchy ads trying to do some sketchy things. That or whoever programmed your ads needs to take it back to the way it was because the resource load is really taxing. You also keep going not secure on my browser.

I'm getting weird popups in the corner of my screen too. They say sketchy stuff like "your mac may be infected with malware" but I haven't been to any questionable websites. These also disappear when the page is refreshed or I go to a different page. This one appeared while I was answering Tomo's trivia questions and vanished when I clicked on an answer.
