BWE spam??
Is it just me or is anyone getting spammed and redirected to "good housekeeping" or some other women fit site?? It's just about every time I switch forums or open a post I'm redirected to bs...this is on an iPhone with current iOS on safari. I've never experienced this before.

I use tapatalk on my iPhone. Much easier for all forums with mobile device.

I was getting some weird redirects last week on my PC at work to where it would just open in another site. Stopped happening though.

Hmm - sounds like some browser hijacker problem to me.
I just tried on my iPhone, Safari or TapaTalk - I am not getting any redirects. On your iPhone - are you already using TapaTalk or some other forum browser app, or just straight browser?

If Safari - try
Clear information from your device To clear your history and cookies from Safari in iOS 8, tap Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Clear History and tap Clear Cookies and Data. To clear other stored information from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data.

Al seems fine to me with the forum.
From the chatter out there, this redirect could potentially be originating from one of the Google Ads running on site, running some script. Weird that they would be able to sneak it in - Google usually kills that kind of crap. Please do let us know ASAP if anyone else notices any weir stuff. Try to pay attention and to see if you can see the correlation with a banner add displayed on BWE at a time - we'll disallow it.  Internet, crazy place
