Here is said page - Yep had this happen a few times today for the first time, usually takes about 40+ minutes for VT to be accessible again. Link to comment

0 limpid Posted June 18, 2014 Administrator Share Posted June 18, 2014 There isn't a single server. It's on a cluster so I suspect a network issue. Link to comment

Just thought you guys should know! Are you using the mobile skin or the full site? What do you mean by "diverts"? Any reason you don't use the app? Link to comment

0 S-Platt Posted June 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 19, 2014 Sorry for the delay I am not that technical I think I use the full site as in I type in www.villatalk.com via safari this used to bring up what I think you call a skin but I click to view the full site and just keep the tab open. Reason for this is it knows exactly where I am at in threads right page and so on. The app just confused me sorry!! So last night with it being open all day in the background I click the tab and it basically diverts after say 2 seconds to the app store to an app called Zynga Poker - Texas Holdem. Its still doing this when I checked just this minute! Clearing Cache someone said well again I am no technical guru all I can do in settings on safari is clear history cookies and data and this I have done but it still does not work. I am using an Iphone 4S I hope this helps. Link to comment
0 limpid Posted June 19, 2014 Administrator Share Posted June 19, 2014 I don't know anything about iphones, but is the browser still running with VT open when you close the app store? What you are describing is pretty much what I'd expect from that particular advert. I can't afford to lose the revenue from that ad since some posters cost us the Google contract. You are using VT in such an unusual manner that I might not be able to cater for that. Have you tried the app recently? It's continually changing. Unfortunately if you really want to use VT like you do, your only option might be to hit the donate button and remove all the ads. Sorry. Link to comment
0 LoughboroughLion Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I had the same problem. When loading the page it would open a poker ad and automatically open the App Store which takes you off safari. Going back to safari, the page would be blank and any attempt to reload or re type the address would open the App Store again because of the advert. Not a problem as I have just downloaded the app for the first time and it's going okay. Link to comment
0 limpid Posted June 19, 2014 Administrator Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'll have a look and see if I can exclude the ad from mobile devices running the full site, but I don't think I can. It's never occurred to me that people would do that. Link to comment
0 LoughboroughLion Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I was running the mobile version not the full version. The ad isn't a problem either, it's just I couldn't read any content at all because of the diversion Link to comment
0 limpid Posted June 19, 2014 Administrator Share Posted June 19, 2014 The pop under ad isn't on the mobile skin, only the full site. Oh bum. At this rate I'll have to pull all the ads and turn the site into a donation only model Link to comment
