When on iPhone or iPad, After my first 10 seconds in a thread, My app store opens with some sort of fantasy game (War of Thrones). Then when I close it and return, I get app store notices every 4-6 seconds asking me either if I want to open this page in app store, or that it can't open the page because of wrong adress. While I was typing this, I literally had to click Away a pop-up somewhere between 25 and 35 times. Started today.
Any solutions? Otherwise I will have to stop using the site, it's that annoying. I'm ready to throw my iPad against the wal.
Got the same here. It starts with a popup (nym1.mobile.adnx5.com or nym1.mobile.adnxs.com ; having a hard time reading back what I wrote down). It says "Sorry, error loading website. Please confirm to load a new site" with a Yes or No prompt, both leading to the App store as described. Generally happens on the Rumor Mill or Casual forum.
I've had the same thing in both the Rumor Mill and the wiki. Apart from the annoyance of having to close the app store, I also lose the page I was trying to read.
While posting in the "Random a Card of the Day" thread in the general EDH forums some ad on the site minimized Safari on my iPad and opened the App Store to a game called "Cookie Jam". This has happened several times in various threads on the site and for various games in the App Store. Often while I'm typing a post. It is extremely annoying.
I have no idea if it's something you can deal with.
Next time that happens, pull safari back up and take a screen shot if you can.
If we can identify the ad that's doing it, curse can contact the advertising network and have the ad killed.
signing in from my nook, got a pop up warning me that I have 2 viruses detected and that I should take immeditate action to not lose my pictures and files!
No other tabs open, recently reset device, so no older cookies or history.
When browsing from my phone (Sprint LG G2, Droid v4.4.2) I frequently get error messages saying the "Site's security certificate can't be certified." with the options of "Go back," "More info," and "Continue." Hitting Continue makes the dialogue pop up again infinitely. Hitting anywhere else forces the browser back to the previous page. I've frequently gotten this dialogue multiple times in a row, to the point where it backs me entirely out of the forums back to the main page and before.
Also, on my browser, I've installed the DND extension in Google Chrome, and have at least 6+ "data-mining" ads blocked per page visited, as well as a few "URL Hijacks," though I have had some slip through trying to take me to an updater claiming to "speed up" windows or java. I unfortunately do not have any screen shots of the updater, but I'll post one if I see it again.
Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
For some reason the MTGS site is randomly redirecting me to some arpeture marketplace website (http://aperture.displaymarketplace.com/). Completely random, just redirects me there for no reason. Extremely annoying.
Really, really annoying.

Ok, now this is just weird. Not sure if it's advert related, but while I'm on a page Chrome will randomly act like it's loading a new page, and the browser history will log it as a separate visit. I've had an entire tab's backlog overflow on just one page because of this. It seems to be completely random, too, as it's not happening on this particular page, and I closed the tab it did happen on so I couldn't get a screen shot.
Edit, just had it happen on another page, so attached is a screenshot. BTW, the thread in question has only 3 total posts on it.

Still doing this randomly, if I'm in a thread or not, the page keeps reloading on its own and eventually diverts me to this link.

Just had it happen to me a few times as well. Once just a few moments ago as I was mid-click on a link to this very forum.
Edit: Aperture is also a page hijack, overwriting the current page in your history, so you can't even back out of it. Just had three pages hijacked by it. One while I was editing this very post.
It's a flash ad, and it shows up even though I'm at a work browser that only stores cookies for the session, then immediately wipes when it closes. MTGSalvation was the second site I went to in this browsing session, after my job's own website.
Usually, it's late and I'm playing some MTGO or something with MTGS open in the background and one of those stupid video ads loads and makes noise for a split-second before muting itself and I almost piss myself.
It's a political ad for some candidate or cause in Oregon (where I live). It was on the main Salvation forums site (forums.mtgsalvation.com), and it plays audio without user initiation. What's worse, one can't pause the ad without clicking on it (though I was able to mute it). It showed up again on the rulings forum, where I got a screenshot of it. Screenshot, with some personal information removed, is attached.
Cookie Jam ads are back. I can't figure out how to upload a screen grab from my iPad, but it shouldn't be too hard for someone with a computer to spot one,

Tons of auto-play videos with sound. I've heard a Lysol one but didn't get a shot of it, but here's a shot of a Resolve ad that plays audio without warning. Also getting the Cirque du Soleil ad posted earlier.
There was a Ford ad playing in one of my tabs just now, there have been a few others. Usually can't get screenshots of them: I hear them, try to figure out which tab they're in, but my browser slows to a crawl and the ad has switched to something else by the time I get there.
Yesterday, I kept getting my pages hijacked by a ads trying to get me to "update" Chrome or flash maliciously. Is there a way to work out which ad is causing it to more helpfully report the issue?

When in doubt, call a judge.
Objectivist here. Hit me up to talk philosophy.
This. Seriously, video ads that not only play on their own, but have no volume control, or play full blast by default. Really annoying.
