    Not sure if this is happening to anyone else but I've been constantly getting redirected today to the link below while browsing the forum and even while I'm typing this message. I'm on an iPhone 7 with iOS 10. It's only happening when I'm on the BA Forums.

    I've added vvgads.com to our block list and I've escalated this issue with our ad server host.

    Everyone: We're obviously aware of the issue and taking measures to combat it. So if you come across an ad: try to capture the domain and post it here (see examples in this thread). Posting otherwise isn't helpful.

    Thanks,
