When I just tried to access the site from the browser on my Android phone (bypassing the annoying "DOWNLOAD THE APP TO VIEW FORUMS" thing), my browser was hijacked and it was the typical malware spam crap that followed. Looks like there might be some bad code that has sneaked into the site.

I know someone mentioned to me in a private message on here yesterday that they've had issues accessing the site because it's been flagged as spam or similar with their web protection software.

As a data point, I've been using android on here quite a bit (traveling) over the past week and have not had this problem.

Any idea exactly where you were browsing when this happened?

(I don't work behind the scenes on our site, just curious)

For me it was going specifically to:

http://www.risingsun4x4club.org/forum2/

I did this on my Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon. It has all of the updates that Verizon has put out. Was reformatted about six or eight months ago. I was in the Chrome browser. I have not had any other problems like that on the phone.

This was using a cellular connection for internet. No wifi.

I started at risingsun4x4club.org. Then I clicked on the "forum" link. Then it displays the message that says "get our Android app for easier viewing blah blah blah" I clicked "cancel" like I normally would and then it freaked out and went to the spam stuff. Had to forcibly close Chrome to get rid of it.

Just now when I tried, no problems.

So IDK what's going on!
