Hijack Hobbler... / myLot

Derry, Northern Ireland

December 2, 2016 2:26pm CST

Thank you for the "You are leaving myLot" warning screen, very helpful at preventing rogue ad code from stealing you off elsewhere on the internet... Now just take Carambola ads off again, it really makes interacting very very slow, tedious and frustrating as links bounce up and down the screen on chrome on android on a mobile, @MyLotBugs.

@pgntwo Same for me, I am sent directly to the linked video, but I am not on a phone. Trying. Yes, on the phone, it opens another window with the screen you posted. Annoying

@topffer Maybe, maybe not ... I have yet to compare laptop and mobile versions... it could be a way of avoiding redirects...

I saw another member run into a re-routing. I have not gotten this. I hope myLot Bugs will be able to fix this soon.

I have not even seen this warning message so far, which means either I have not been hijacked or maybe I am in my usual stupid haze.

@pgntwo Most likely not because I spent much of the day over in Gibraltar.

I noticed this added page several days ago, too, pgn. I figured it was something to help with re-directs on myLot, but I wasn't and haven't been suffering through re-directs. Since I don't turn off AdBlock, I haven't been re-directed even once, so those new pages are kinda annoying to me. They add an extra page I have to answer and then close after I get done with YouTube or whatever I am trying to do on myLot.

I think you should send your post directly to @MyLotBugs. The name doesn't appear in blue letters here. So they won't see it.

Oh, they do see it, I know... Even though it is not highlighted in blue... Thanks, @MALUSE.

@JolietJake Aha. But is the person who's mentioned notified nevertheless?

yeah...that is new...though the impact of it on people using a laptop to mylot is not much since a new tab opens anyway.

It's a nice idea, but it seems like you still get sent to another page. @myLotBugs - any way to add a dialog box that tells users they're leaving the current page with the option to stay on the same page?
