Mzdadoc Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 On my iPad I've noticed that if I pick a subject like Hand Tools or something sometimes it opens another page entirely and then goes to my APP store. Do you think I have a virus or is there a forum glitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Pretty unlikely that you have a virus on you iPad. Could certainly be a glitch though. Does it take you to a particular app or does it just open up the App store home page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 That's where I was headed. But I'm hoping the glitch is just a misplaced tap and not the fault of the Tapatalk integration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochese Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I've noticed a lot more that there will be certain ads on websites that will automatically click you over to the app store to try and sell you their crappy game or app, and it could be completely unrelated to the forum, site, or whatever you're reading. Noticed it on iOS and Android, although I've noticed it more on Android, but that may be because I use it more. It might not be Tapatalk at all, usually that's just a popup asking you if you'd like to browse that way. The ones that make the app store open have been ads, in my experience. Perhaps it's one in the current rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 It has more to do with ads. It was happening a lot when I was on LumberJocks. It hasn't happened here, and hopefully it stays that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzdadoc Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I never let its complete change happen before I'm closing the page and just reopening TWW. I'll let it go through its whole routine next time and see what happens. The strange thing is it doesn't just open new windows it shuts down TWW site all together where I have to go back to my main screen and select the icon again.

thewoodwhisperer Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 OK now I'm confused. You posted this in Forum Help section and previously referenced the forum, but now you're saying TWW. So is this a forum issue or a TWW issue? And if it's TWW, are you using the app or accessing the website directly via your browser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzdadoc Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Sorry Marc it is an issue with the forum side. On my iPad i access it through my browser. It hasn't happened again but I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfitz Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I've also seen that behavior here on the forum. When opening a post, it will redirect me to the App Store. I see something referring to admin.appnext.com but usually I just kill it and go back to my browser. I've probably seen it 3 or 4 times. I'll let it do its thing next time and report back more concrete info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
