However, would just putting a <nowiki><br clear=all></nowiki> at the top of the page be a simpler solution? This way it only leaves the necessary sized gap for the add in question, and if somebody is using an adblocker or a non default skin it only leaves a single line gap rather than 14. I have tried mocking it up on my [[User:Commando552/Sandbox|user page]] and it seems to work, but as I normally use an ad-blocker I don't know if this creates other conflicts or works for everyone, so wanted to check with you. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 06:16, 11 September 2013 (EDT)

| − | Hello, for the past few months, some users including me have been having a weird issue when opening this specific website on mobile, as discussed [[Talk:Main Page#Weird redirects on mobile|here]]. It usually happens only once per day (sometimes for the first time in a day, although it's not always the case). In my case, when I open the link to the IMFDB recent changes (regardless of whether I'm logged in or not), I automatically get redirected to "sslgateways.com" followed by a series of random letters and numbers, which itself proceeds to redirect me to strange websites including "tlgram.me" (although I always try to stop the loading process of such pages as fast as possible and reload the IMFDB link). Me and the other users who mentioned the issue are encountering this while using Chrome on Android devices (although it doesn't seem to be exclusive to Chrome, according to Lunar Watcher's last comment).
