XF 2.2 Adsense taking over forum navigation.

[Roomac]

A small number of users are reporting issues where when clicking into a node on our forum they are being navigated to an advert, when hovering over one of our main nodes the target url shown at the bottom of the page is being displayed as that of a google advert(example below.), We only have a couple small adsense adverts on our page and they are only viewable by guests.

I have no idea what is causing this and we don't run auto ads etc. but I really don't like it. Has anyone experienced this before/found the root? I have crawled google for a few hours now and im not finding anything.

Maybe Adsense Shopping links are hijacking the link?

Try turning them off (if on) in the Optimization/Labs section of your Adsense account.

That's all I can think of if Auto Ads are off.

Thanks, thats where my mind went, I'm going to reach out to Goog and hope they can give me an answer.

seems to be an issue relating to MS edge. Only happening to Edge users and it stops as soon as they swap browser.

I had something similar years ago, it was malware on the users computer. They got Malwarebytes and fixed it.

I think it was the same malware that can cause loads of extra ads in Google search results.

This was the first thing I had them do but nothing was flagged.

raise a ticket with adsense support.
