This should be fixed now, can you confirm that you are no longer experiencing this problem ?


I haven't had the problem since, thanks!

This is getting out of hand - the video adds on this site are a nightmare to deal with. I am on Windows 7, running Chrome. These adds keep crashing the Shockwave plugin, and when they are not crashing, they make all the other videos run extremely slowly. I keep a few forum tabs open for the discussion of the series I follow, and I have to explicitly close those pages when I want to watch anything in browser. It was bad enough with the Nice Boat video, now they are just constantly loading, preventing the page from buffering completely, and I can't make them stop. There was also a text box earlier today (not a popup, rather a javascript dialogue window, but definitely coming from an add of some kind) saying something about that there is 200 more of something there, I don't quite remember. As a disclaimer, I can run all the other videos on all the other websites (even adds) just fine with not much issue. I explicitly disabled the addblocker for this site, but it is starting to drive me insane.

I got a video ad for "Autograph hotels" which started playing over an article (so I couldn't read it). It didn't respond when I clicked on it (so I don't have a link for you) and there was no way to exit the ad, even when it was done playing. I had to refresh the page to make it go away.

Just got redirected to a fake Chrome update page when visiting the Fall anime guide.

I can confirm the bogus Chrome update page. Got it a couple of times over the weekend, and again tonight on "Shelf Life".

I like it here,but it's not worth picking up a virus or malware. Please fix your infested website.

Looking into this bogus Chrome update.

Did it redirect you in the same tab, or open a new tab?

It redirects in the same tab. Hitting the back button returns you to the correct page ANN page.

Also an issue with fake chrome update, had one earlier today, this is the third one I had this week, I think all three had different domains.

Also, the laggy video adds are back.

Fake Chrome update is still around. Had it on the preview guide just now, it still takes over the window.

I've been getting the fake Chrome pop-up too. I click on a page in ANN (seems like a different one each time) or am reading through a page (like the preview guide) and it replaces the page within that tab.

Fake Chrome redirect: We're working on it (we're really annoyed!!!).

We've just made a change that should stop the redirects, assuming they are coming from the source that we suspect they are coming from.

Please let me know if you get a redirect after I've posted this message.

Also, if someone gets redirected again, can you take a screenshot of the destination page?
