More than ever. I'm going to try to set up an ad blocker.
Can we reach out to Google too? Would that help?
-
@daniellemybelle: They're definitely aware of the issue, as it's affecting lots of websites that work with their ad network! They've promised a fix within the next day or so:
I tried to find a way that people could complain to Google's customer service, but they actually don't really enable that as far as I can tell! Let me know if you find a way that people can contact them with complaints about ad problems!!
-
Is it possible to just disable the ads temporarily it change to a size that's unaffected? The site is totally unusable for me at this point on both phone and laptop.
-
@HappyBaker: Our webmaster isn't available this weekend, so we can't make any changes to the site right now. In the future, we'll look into creating an "on/off switch" for our ads so we can disable ads when our ad network is having problems like this!
Google has promised a fix soon:
http://goo.gl/xuBeKuIf they don't deliver, then we'll disable the ads as soon as our webmaster is available again!

@mrbee: gotcha! After reading that google thread I cleared my cookies / data / history on my phone and that has temporarily resolved it for me.
-
Mines doing okay for now! Seems to be better.
-
all day long on my phone (iPhone). Not happening on my desktop (PC)
-
It's gotten so bad while I am on my iPad or iPhone! Hope it gets resolved soon.
-
This is happening almost every time I click on a link now. Was rarely happening before, but the site is unusable now. Hopefully they resolve the issue soon.
-
How strange that so many are affected... it hasn't once happened to me!
-
I haven't had this happen at all to me. Sounds awful, though.
-
It's so awful on my iPhone that I can't use the site at all. I tried both Safari and Chrome. I also cleared history and cookies with no improvement.
Fingers crossed it hasn't been a problem on my PC, yet.
-
I'm getting redirected with every click today. First time it's happened to me at all.
-
I can't do anything on here this morning!
-
Every click it's happening to me today as well.
-
I agree with other posters today (10Jan). Redirects on almost every thread I try to enter to read, multiple times in a row too. This is a much higher frequency than my browsing sessions earlier this week (1 or 2 redirects a session).
On iPhone safari.
-
I'm ready to throw my phone. This is super annoying today!
I'm also getting a weird jumbled text view on my blog reader and on the mobile site. -
Its so bad. I think I'm giving up on HB for the weekend.
-
Wow, how annoying!! I got redirected one time on my macbook but never on my Samsung galaxy.
-
Yup, it definitely happens more when I'm on my phone.
-
So is it just an apple issue? Iphone/ipad? I haven't had any issues and I use my samsung galaxy and pc.
-
@Mrs squirreld: no problems on my galaxy note!
-
No issues on my galaxy phone or tablet, or PC laptop!
-
@mrbee: HB was basically unusable this morning from my iPad.
-
@MrsH: I'm on my PC right now. No redirects. I'm not going to go to HB on the iPad today because it was constant redirects.
-
So for those on ios7. I seem to have found a work around (since Safari doesn't aklow plug in as blockers). I went into settings and under restrictions I only allowed boards.hellobee.com. It's not letting the other sites pop up.
-
I'm having almost no issues on my laptop, but I get redirected pretty much every single time I click on the iPad...just thought I'd add that. Not sure if others are experiencing this.
-
Right now it is ok enough for me to make a post but I was off HB for a while! I really hope Google fixes this soon!
