Pages navigate automatically to pornographic websites? |

I've been having trouble with the yuku boards lately. Often when I am reading a message board (not clicking on anything) the page suddenly navigates away
to a random website, often pornographic (I got fling.com quite a few times today). I know that it is not an issue with my computer, as I have an extremely well
protected mac, and I use firefox ad blockers. Some of my friends have noticed the same problem.
Help, please? |

Fortunately this hasn't happened to me, but there's a big post on JJB about it.
http://jjb.yuku.com/topic/443751 This is absolutely unacceptable. Some of these boards have kids visiting or whatever, or parents of young kids who don't appreciate porn popping up on their computer while their children are in the room. Something really needs to be done about this ASAP. |

I've had this happen. I get that you guys have to have ads to keep the business afloat, but you can NOT allow ads in that take over people's browsers.

There are also a lot of younger people who browse these message boards who shouldn't be re-directed to those types of pages.

I think this:

I'm having this problem too. It's not even just a little pop-up, the entire page redirects me to this fling.com website with multiple pornographic
pictures on the page. Adding to what itsmejustin said, even if it isn't younger people who are on the messageboard there could still be younger people who
are seeing these ads. I have a young daughter who is often around when I'm on JJB and in the thread about this on the General board a poster mentioned that
her young child saw the website/pictures when they popped up unexpectedly.
Just because myself and others don't use Firefox (it doesn't work for me on my computer) or pay for Yuku, that doesn't mean we should be exposed to this. |

Yeah, this is totally not okay. There are a few 12-14 year old girls on one of my regular messageboards who could be exposed to this. NOT okay. Firefox
ad-blocker doesn't even do anything.
Let's keep this bumped up so that maybe the admins will do something about it. |

Is there also going to be anything done about the ads putting malware on people's computers? Again, this fortunately hasn't happened to me, but
it's still unacceptable. And don't just tell people to buy Supporter either, people shouldn't have to be required to pay simply so they can view
the board without malicious files downloading/attempting to download and unwanted porn.

I understand the use of ads to generate revenue, but there's a difference between ads for jeans and ads for porn and redirecting people to porn sites. Not
to mention the ads now putting malware onto people's computers. This is truly ridiculous and any company that would stoop this low to get into our pockets
doesn't deserve a penny from me or anyone else.

I am reporting this horrid redirection of porn that is occurring. We are being sent to porn sites while blogging on the boards. I use jjb and this is becoming
a very disturbing for many members. please do something about it. thanks.

Non-supporters are reporting it on my site, too - strawgoh3, though by the sounds of
it, it's everywhere across Yuku, so the board name may not help much.
Looks like somebody has hacked into Yuku (presumably the owners of the porn site) - and picked the right time to do it, since there don't seem to be any Yuku staff around to fix it.

Or maybe, the porn site showed Yuku the money(shot), and they don't care.

Close up vagina pics may be nice on the eyes to some but we should not be subjected to it by ads! This has been going on for months!

I myself have jsut experienced this as well. I don't appreciate PORN on my comptuer that my children use as well 
Just because you people want us to buy YUKU supporter this is not the way to do it, PORN is the way to lose the people that have been around here for years. |

Please, fix this for it will deter me from using Yuku other than within my own home. Right now, how can anyone want to surf the boards if they're any place
public? No one will. Good Job Yuku. You're losing money!

I've also had these disgusting adds appear automatically numerous times within a few minutes and they can't be clicked off without losing the entire
yuku site. I hope you will actually do something about it, Chris W962.
