[POSSIBLE ISSUE] Dodgy Pop-Ups and Redirects

We've received reports of users experiencing pop-up ads and weird prompts, even site redirects not coming from CloudFlare when logging into Asianfanfics. Please note that this is not addressing the affiliation box over to the left side of the page, nor is it addressing ads you would normally see over to the sides; users have complained of pop-up ads and redirects that should not be appearing on the site.

First and foremost, make sure there is nothing malicious on your computer/phone. Run a virus/anti-malware scan, if possible, and ascertain all is well with your actual device. From there, do the SOP of AFF: clear all cache and cookies and log back into the site.

For any users who have seen this issue, if you could let us know on this blog or in a Private Message (many of us have been on vacation, and are still away so cleaning up the wall posts is a priority), that would be great. If you could also include the following:

- what type of ad/what did the pop-up prompt from you
- a screenshot/screencap of what you are seeing
- browser information (i.e. if you're using Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.)
- how you are accessing the site (desktop/mobile)
- how long this has been occurring

Any and all of these fields would help us pinpoint the source of the problem much faster =]

I keep getting this pop up ad, it only happens when I’m on this website tho, when I visit other sites there’s no pop up ads, however when I visit this one it always appears. This has happened a lot in the past before also where I get different pop up ads like the Walmart and amazon pop up ad and even the Apple one too.

It kept popping up and sending me to that website. It kept doing like 5-7 times a day. I use safari on my iPhone.

I keep having an advertisement pop up directly over the options to edit my chapters. It is an ad for some Lifestage community or something like that. I want to post a screenshot but I don't know how. It is very annoying to have that in the way when I need to edit chapters but can't because of the ad.

I've had 3 McDonalds ads pop up and they block the beginning of each chapter, it's really annoying. I use regular android internet. And I also use my mobile to get on here. It's been going on for like half a week now.please help.
