Getting redirected to scam sites here.
It seems like every time I click on a thread while on my phone (Android), I get redirected to a site telling me I've won a new phone or something stupid. This doesn't happen on any other sites or on my desktop. Anyone else having this issue?

It is a common problem with sites using this software. "You've won" is annoying for sure.
There isn't any serious "fix" on the user side of things. There are a couple tutorials on the droid forums for things to adjust on your phone to be rid of the annoyances.. though, the only thing that I've found that works is the factory updates from the manufacturer (S7 phone).
One of the adjustments is to clear out all history and cached items. Also, look through your list of active apps and see if there is something with a suspect name and "Force stop" it.
