I seem to be getting a redirect ad from this site the past week or so on my android phone. I'll be viewing a thread and suddenly a voice will say something about device memory critically low and to run device maintenance, then it'll redirect me to an app in the play store to download.

It has only ever happened while I am browsing this site so I feel it is coming from here. Anyone else have a similar issue?

Are you in android in Google chrome? It's happened a few times to me, and only ever when I'm on this site.

Likely malware. Yes, they actually have that for Android.

​​​​​​You think it's on my phone? If that was the case why does it only ever happen when I'm on this site?

Good question. Is there an ad-blocker available for your browser? That would likely solve the problem.
