[Resolved] Ad Countdown

[Semetery]

I'm not sure if this is considered a missed ad or just one I'd like rid of but here:

https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/electric_guitars/ibanez/rg370dxgp2/index.html

That (usually) redirects you to:

https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/components/interstitial/view?ad_type=127&section=reviews&url=https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/electric_guitars/ibanez/rg370dxgp2/index.html (this is the redirect from the link)

As you'll see, there is a 15 second countdown before continuing to what you're trying to see and half the time, it just takes me to the homepage and completely omits where I was 'trying' to go. Huge inconvenience at 15 whopping seconds. 5 seconds is something but 15 nearly drives me away from the site completely.

Can't reproduce as I don't get that redirect. Which browser and filters are you using and from which country do you connect to the site?

Only when I click on the redirected link it shows.

Thanks Vincent, it does click on through at least, nice to not have to wait!

Lists: Fanboy+Easylist Merged, English, Spyware, Fanboy's Social List, Peter Lowe's, Adblock Warning, Anti-adblock Killer

I'm in the US.

Responsible script is:

tag.bounceexchange.com/1581/i.js

Please note it is possible there is an exclusion like @@||bounceexchange.com in one of those rules like "Peter Lowe's, Adblock Warning, Fanboy+Easylist Merged" as in Spyware filter the required rule "||bounceexchange.com^$third-party" is included. Therefore please check if you have rules for "bounceexchange.com" in the filter lists and disable any with @@ at the start.

For user filter.

I've noticed this for a good while now, and I can reproduce the ad countdown/redirect every day.

The rule posted above works great though - bypasses the countdown nicely.
