Yes. All of the time now.


I just contacted them to let them know I have information to help them block at least one redirect.

Me, too.


I get it on wjla too. I am following Facebook links to read stories. So far it's only them.


Based on your experience, I just went to WJLA and got a redirect. I was capturing my traffic and was able to trace it back to its source (these ads use many redirects going from one server to another so the final URL you see when you get the ad is no help in identifying from where the ad came). The source of the WJLA redirect is not a network that we use, but I can try finding someone at WJLA who works on their ads and maybe they can eliminate it from their site.



Wow! You are fantastic! I hope they listen to you and take your advice .

This happens to me too, most often on DCUM, not other sites.

Happens constantly here, is making the site very hard to use.

Do you all just hit close/ok/whatever the option at the bottom of the ad is? Or is it one of those things where you don't want to interact with the ad at all lest it download or something? I have been hitting the back button twice which gives me 'website has an error' and reloads.

Has anyone received this ad on DCUM while at a public place such as a library or Starbucks? I have been unable to reproduce this ad on DCUM and I starting to think my IP address might be the issue. I am considering going someplace else to use a public wifi and try from there.

I close the screen and start over.

I get to all the time. I’m at the mall right now on their WiFi and have gotten twice. I also get it at home. It’s becoming more frequent.

For those of you getting redirects on DCUM, please try using the site via this URL:

http://www.dcurbanmom.com/sovrn/forums/list.page

Please let me know if you still get redirects using that version.
