    Everytime I load a beeradvocate page on my phone the Google play store pops up. I thought it might be an issue with my phone but I tried logging on to Ba on a friend's phone and it does it as well... Is this a new fork of advertising or a glitch?

    Specifically it is for the candy crush app?

    Its one of your other apps. I just had this problem. Probably a game by the same company.

    Same here. Only happens on some BA forum browsing. I noticed in the past day or so. Very annoying. It launches google play store to install candy crush.

    Same, for candy crush about two or three times a day for 3 or 4 days now.
    I'm on an HTC One X, using the built in internet browser; Android 4.0.4

    This is not really a BeerAdvocate bug, but rather a 3rd party remnant ad being bad. If someone can provide the domain associated with the displayed ad when this occurs we can simply block the domain. Thanks.
