just curious about site ads

[mangarian]

if it was not reported by others just ignore this, otherwise it is just user feedback. (fix on 3rd thread)

 

If I open a mod page in new tab and let the ads cycle like 1-5 times I get redirected, just started today and found it very odd. i been to no other sites in 5 days except steam.

 

would Nexus ever think of running there own banner ad script? not sure about that last bout of "http:// go. goadvs. com/" popups, I ran 6 antivirus and malware software and passes. nothing found, they only did popups on the page refresh loading the next randomly loaded advert, and only on nexus mod area with ads. my zone alarm blocked the redirect from full opening the site url it sent me to.like such example

 

not sure where to let you know but I broke up the http with spaces so it would not be a hpyerlink used by others.

 

"http : // go.goadvs.com/intrsl?id=28&uuid=98479635-d477-462b-8a1c-9166df7db682&ts=1447520254381091905&w=728&h=90&ct=http%3A%2F%2Fx.vindicosuite.com%2Fclick%2Fv%3D5%3Bm%3D3%3Bl%3D401004%3Bc%3D875260%3Bb%3D3771848%3Bts%3D1447520254%3Bui%3DSbbV2QrcRrK2H4jYt-HqZQkf5VwFQ9_PPVJatDRz0isZPPXaQZc1FjHS5boN1xtsZ28k3xroyR2yMoY5zc6bAQ%3Bad%3DCOy8GBCv%2FgoYiyYgASgEMIwLOLt%2BQIfqEEjdlQ5Q%2FLU1WMib5gFgAGjKoB9wAHgBiAEA%3Bz%3DCPy1NRDIm%2BYBGiRjZDZmZDAzMC1lY2FlLTRjOTktODk1Mi1jODVmYTk4MWRlZGIqJGNkNmZkMDMwLWVjYmItYTc5NS04OTUyLWM4NWZhOTgxZGVkYkDRnjVNAACAQFUAAIBAXQAAMEFlAAAwQW0AAIBAdexRgECSAQNVU0S9AexRgEDQAQDYAQDgAQDoAQDwAQCQAgCYAgA%3D%3Bxid%3D714224135992064248%3Bep%3D1%3Bdct%3D"

its is sort of easy to write the code where you count the ads to be shown in a data list like xml, then have a div which chooses the random add + one impression, which loads a div click within in, if clicked it writes to the list line click +1 and then executes the redirect.

 

you could have count up impressions and click or count down ones. But I guess it is always hard to get people to buy real estate location on your site directly? not sure.

Might make it easier that your sponsors or ads customers upload a banner and not a script which you have control what is executed on your site, then relay on outside scripts to execute code they can change at any time. each time any code gets changed in your control would have to be approved before going live.

 

I was trying to watch the html code which ad did it, but you just brought the site down for maintance, not sure if that is part of it, but figure give you some feedback and info.

 

Just a thought.

I just wanted to let everyone know I had the same ad today. It is a full screen forward page, very distracting.

[mangarian]

ok I found a temp fix, at my router I went in parental controls and added the site I

 

added goadvs.com to my router banned keyword

to block those ads and no redirects yet, just when they load those ads just blink with no more redirects

 

I don't get cut off when downloading or loose all my typing when editing my mod text page every 60 sec to 2 minutes.

 

They still let all the other ads show, it just stops the redirect script from happening when adchoice loads an ad from them and cutting off my downloads also. it might take adchoice a little time to correct their publishers script.

 

I opened like 6 mod pages and no more redirects from that culprit so far its been 10 minutes, but would happen every 1-2 minutes per page

 

to site admin, it might be a good idea if a real bad one came up your admin staff could add a keyword or ip to block external from being generated on your site that cause major issues and yet still allow all the other good ads come through like I did with my router.

One major problem over the years is a site with external script or link to get an image to be display may be approved, but a not so nice external site can change the function of a script at any time even for brief periods making it hard to find who it was. with a little creativity you can do some neat coding to do almost anything to keep control on your side having the last say :D

 

I know with asp global file it can be done, not 100% sure how you guys can do it in php I am not versed enough in php yet

 

even consider that site has had a bad history with popup issues link and many sites seen a heavy influx of issues the past 3 days from issues on them.

I had a slightly different, but also troubling experience with ads on this site on mobile. I was redirected to a site that clearly smelled of phishing.

You might want to look into a more reputable ad provider.

Tried to turn off my ad blocker for this site, having one instance of it open turned page scrolling in browser into a slide show, multiple tabs almost halt broser, and I have a pretty fast gaming rig. Too many resource demanding ads that also keep running on lost focus. Ad block will have to stay on.

I am getting quite annoyed with this garbage as well. A group of individuals who use page redirect ads are no better than the company who makes them. Fix this Nexus.

[gwhittey]

goadvs.com is also a known virus user so not sure why nexus even allows there ads on site. It only gives them bad name for spreading virus through ads.

[scristopher462]

yeah me too, have been redirected to fake AV scans, and pages claming my PC is infected (you know those scam pages that tell you to call in to get help) - only from the nexus sites when viewing a mod today (now when browsing mods as well). First on my linux laptop which obviously isnt infected and on my windows desktop now... Very dissapointed in the recent ad choice/changes made.

 

--EDIT

adblocked the entire site now, not dealing with this until its reported the fake av ads are gone!
