I stopped having problems on my phone after switching to firefox with adblock from chrome. The garage talk app works as well, but I really don't like it that much.

Hijacks are back this morning. Tried viewing the touring forum and got the following.

I hit the back button and get this

And then this

It took me 6 attempts to browse to this thread to post these screen shots. Hijack after hijack after hijack. Progress was made last week, but it's back again. Very frustrating.

It's nearly impossible for me to browse the forum from my phone today. The hijacks are non-stop. Over and over and over....

Repeatedly

I have discovered that the hijacks do not occur when browsing the forum, as long as I'm not logged in. So currently, I cannot use the Garage Talk app, it's not compatible with my version of Android, and I cannot view the forum when logged in using the chrome browser on my phone, without constant browser hijacks. That includes using an ad-block program. So I'm basically stuck going to a third party browser, just to view this forum. I have no other problems with any other website, only this one. Very frustrating....

We understand and appreciate your frustration. We are too. We continue to fight these but each time we block, they change and re launch just as quickly. The bottom line is Android has poor security that enables advertisers to do this

If I log out on my phone, it tells me all cookies are cleared (or something to that effect) and I can browse the forum without issue. When I log back in, I start getting the hijacks again. Is it something that's being passed through with the site cookies? I'm just brainstorming, trying to help find a solution.

That seems to me like it could be very helpful. I'm passing that info along now.

Thank you for your diligence.

First browser hijack in a few days this morning. I wish the people who develop computer viruses and all this annoying b.s. we have to put up with, would focus their energies on something with a purpose...
