I keep getting re-directing to some ads with ellen and some other people and it's ANNOYING!! I can't even hit the back space because I get re-directed again so I have to close the window and open another one to get on Gaia again and pray that it doesn't re-direct me every other page. Dx I wound't mind if it were a pop-up because I can at least close that one and still stay on Gaia on another page. Please help!

same here. I'm getting redirected to a
page about anti aging cream, iphone apps, and
other bs. Legit considering ad block at this point.
Don't even get me started on the flash ads.

Unfortunately it's not Gaia's fault, so posting about it here won't help much.
You will want to report the ads using the procedure here.

You might also want to consider installing an ad-blocking add-on for your browser and do a scan of your system to make sure you aren't infected.

Been following this since last night and from what I'm aware of, this is a Google Ads issue. Had the redirects happen to me last night but so far today, knock on wood. No virus in the system either. o.o

Call me dumb, I don't know, but I just installed adblock via firefox's addons feature
and I'm still seeing ads. It downloaded, installed, I reviewed the options, but I'm still seeing ads.
I already refreshed the browser. Any idea what I might have done wrong?

Edit: nevermind, I derped. Accidentally disabled it. xD

I've had adblock since forever, this issue is (for me) just today, and only for Gaia. I have been all day on Facebook and Youtube, and not had a single problem.
