neckdemon Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 i had an issue today with the ads. I wanted to post I there since this is the most popular forum. windows updated today and must have deleted some cookies so I had to sign back in. problem was I couldn't do it when the dunkin donuts ad was up. everything I clicked on just took me to a dunkin donuts store locator page. just wanted to give a heads up because that ad is f'ed up if it is redirecting people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neckdemon Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 just did it again. after I posted the dunkin donuts ad came up and I had to refresh a few times until it went away so that I wouldn't be redirected to their website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard King Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 And here I was, thinking that Waze knew I stopped in Dunkin this morning and relayed that over to my Chrome at the office. Whew, thought the machines had started rising and become self aware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 no need to be sorry. just wanted to give you guys a heads up so you could remove the offending ad Thanks. I removed every ad from the forums. I will put them back in but I am trying to find out which one was the offender. I think I know but took them all down anyhow just to be safe.

Maxman Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 well.....when the dunkin donuts ad was up that was when I was being redirected to their store locator page. Crusher requested that feature. I felt like people would think it was overkill. He thought it was important that everyone always knows where the nearest Dunkin Donuts is.

neckdemon Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Sounds like ad code working as intended for ad company Link Hijacker! why would dunkin donuts need to resort to this? they are a huge brand, they don't really need shady advertising tactics to get their name out. i'm thinking it's not intentionally malicious, but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
