I have experienced an attack as well it came after using a bookmark I always use to get here. In addition to opening the creek forum a second tab opened with an ad, I closed the tab before I registered the exact wording but it was an obvious baddy. I did not click on any adds or links the second tab opened under the forum tab I am using Chrome on an Android tablet using the latest version of Marshmallow.
I checked my history the tab was titled PopAds.net

Happended to me too, when I selected a forum. 3 times.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”
Just happened again to me, twice, as I clicked on a sub forum (classifieds then tech suppprt).
Same thing on Android when I click the main engraving forum a spam window takes over the website and takes me to some random ad.

Yup. Bit me again today too. All sorts of warning bells went off.

Aaron is still working on this one. As far as I know this seems to be a Windows issue, I have not been able to reproduce the problem with my Mac.

Happened on my iPhone in Chrome yestetday.
Every time for me has been on an iPhone, so it's not just a Windows issue. I just had another one.
more information would be nice.
iPhone with Safari?
iPhone with Chrome? (1 person)
iPad with Safari or Chrome?
Windows with Chrome, Explorer, Firefox?
My iPad has the latest IOS upgrade, using Safari I can't get the error to happen.
I will try my phone this afternoon.

I have not experienced any "takeover" attempts. I'm a contributor so no advertising, I'm using Chrome with popups disabled and I have a bookmark that takes me to new postings -www.sawmillcreek.org/search.php?do=getnew&include=29,43,44,16,7,39,3,40 ,4,10,12,23.
Plus AVG anti-virus.
Just wanted to give my data point.

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
Happens on Andriod Galaxy Note 4 using chrome. Typically happens the first time I open a new window then click on the engraving forum each day. Not to scare anyone but this is typical malware behavior, probably attached itself to links on the site...or it could just be a malfunction on the site.
