Site bugged when using iOS Safari?

Hi all, starting today, I can't see any page from WCP website when using my iPhone Safari.
The page opens up, but immediatley after that, it loads an ad on top of the wcp page.
Was there anything new that could cause this behavior?
Thanks and regards, Opteron

It must be related to the specific ad that's being served. I've disabled ads on your account for the next 90 days -- let us know if you continue to experience any problems.

I have this issue as well on Safari for iPhone... I even downloaded a new browser from the iTunes app store and it still happens >_>

I'm getting a similar issue. It's even shutting down the browser and opening up the App Store pages for various apps. Makes the site unusable for me. Took three attempts to post this.

I agree I love this site, but right now it is unusable in ISO. Any interaction launches an ad/sponsored app.

I had a similar thing this morning, whenever I tried to open Warcraftpets.com on my iphone a popup appeared for a quiz prize or something.
Half asleep I poked the screen to clear it away, and have now received a text saying I've been charged £15 for the privilege...
Trying to fix it with my phone provider atm -.-
This is only appearing on warcraftpets.com though no other pages (tested) though I'm unsure how it could be related....

I'm sure it's related to some bad ad. The problem is trying to identify the ad.

The problem is catching the culprit -- it's not easy, especially on iOS. I'm going to speak to our ad network to see if anything else can be done.

I've run into this once or twice on my iPhone but since I don't have a Mac or anyway to do the debugging I wasn't able to capture the identifying code. At this point I'm pretty sure the "Evil Ads" know this and target iOS for that reason. They don't do the same thing on desktop browsers or other platforms to avoid detection.
