This website is infected with a bot that hijacks your browser and redirects to a dating site, what gives Stefan??
Yes it is completely mad every time I change pages I get another advert, mobile telephones, and gambling websites, we had this problem a while back, I hope the problem gets fixed soon.

Hello, every time i try to load a page it refreshes to an advertisement with a "skip this ad" button.
--------------
Hi,

Its a new advertisement.

For what it is worth, I use Firefox with adblocker and I don't see any of this. Hopefully, I never will. What browsers are you guys with the problems using? It may or may not matter, I am curious though. I think the last time something like this happened was about 2 years ago when I was still using IE. (It got me too back then) Actually, that is why I switched over as someone here suggested I do so.

I got this from Stefan
------------------
Okay, I will disable it,
yes, it is a bit annoying, you are right.
How often did you see it ?
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.

I use Firefox and I saw it. I dont know the level of blocking I have set for it.

I use adblocking plugin for firefox; I see no advertisements, on top of that, the tool is useful for blocking unwanted pictures ( such as processor hogging gifs )... this is probably not constructive for helping Stefan maintain the website.
I would also like to ad that advertising could better be served on a one to one basis, this would mean playing advertising agent ( and would probably be more time consuming ) but it would place a more direct line to specific advertisers.
I'm not sure how much revenue this particular website generates... but I think that having someone to place their AD here personally may benefit the cause and the effect, so to speak.
I had this problem as well, the page redirects endlessly, but i solved it by ADblocking the website source with a wildcard.
If a little more effort ( on behalf of the companies used to supply pay per click advertising ) were less stringent with their javascript rules, their placements might be statically done, at option, so as to provide linearity in the website, i.e - the advertisements become hard coded into the page, yet still malleable via database manipulation on behalf of the website owner.
This is just me ranting though, personally I can't stand to see an out of place advertisement - something that looks more like the page and it's contents is more likely to generate click-through.
There is most likely a way to manipulate the source advertiser into interpreting a retreival as dynamic when in fact it is not - but this would take some fudging; the fact is, i think they look at load attempts as well.
