Ad redirects

Submitted by timEe on February 8, 2025
Is anyone experiencing seemingly random ads that popup in a new window? This just started happening for me and I fear my browser has contracted malware... but it only happened on JetPunk, not any other websites.

We've just implemented a script from our ad provider that will hopefully prevent this. Fingers crossed. Sorry for all the trouble!

This just started happening to me and its infuriating. I have popups disabled and they wont stop. It happened twice while taking one quiz (3 minute timer). I really hope it stops or is a glitch or something. I love Jetpunk but these popups are an instant goodbye for me.

Yes, it has been very annoying. Costs me valuable seconds in some quizzes.

Agree. It started happening to me for the first time tonight (2/9/25). So annoying. It only happens on JetPunk.

I knew it wasn't just me!! I've been experiencing it constantly for over a week. It actually just happened while writing this comment, lol. It's super annoying and messes up quiz times.

Sorry, just saw this thread. It's happening to me on both the computer and mobile. Has anyone found that happening on mobile as well? Computer has been happening for a couple of days, but the mobile problem is new.

Apologies, I meant this to go on the thread as a whole not a direct reply!

I have contacted our ad provider.

In the mean time I've given everyone in this thread 1 month of JetPunk Premium. The problem will have almost certainly gone away by then.

Commenting on this thread to see if anyone has a solution! The ads come out of nowhere and direct me to a whole new tab!

Pop up ads are getting ridiculous. It's constant now, every quiz with a couple ad redirects

The pop-up tabs are new and super annoying for me as well, but I'm wondering if it might be related to an issue I've had on JetPunk for a long time where the answer box will randomly deselect as if I clicked somewhere else on the page. I have to move my hands from the keyboard to the mouse to click on it, which is annoying because it does cost seconds and often means I have to stop typing in the middle of a word, reselect the type-in box, and retype whatever I was inputting. It only happens on JetPunk and has happened to me on multiple computers. I feel like it has been getting more frequent and just paused to observe. It seems to happen when the ads switch to a new sponsor, but not every time. Does anyone else have this issue or any suggestions to fix it?
