Java re-direct on forum?

[horrorfan]

Does anyone else get a 'upgrade Java' automatic re-direct on the forum? When it starts, it keeps coming up until I refresh the page. It's happened both on my laptop at home and my work desktop. It doesn't happen on any other site, and it started last night for me. If I see it again I'll try to copy a screenshot to this post.

EDIT: I've just received this warning related to the re-direct:

Okay thanks. Also screenshot any ad you see at the time - I would suspect it's a fancy add that needs the top of the line java - and I can have it removed

I've never seen the Java thing but the sound ads are pretty annoying.

The sounds ads are not "pretty annoying" - they make me bloody furious. As soon as I hear one of those god damn ads I close my tab.

If they become the norm around here, I'll leave.

I've added a screenshot of a warning just received related to that re-direct.

They make me just as furious. I'll remove (just don't blame me )

I'm too much of a tech dummy to know who to blame - I just know I hate those ads with sound

LOL - the first time I heard it yesterday, I had righ click/new tab opened about five of the 'latest posts' plus opened tabs for a few latest news tidbits from my newsfeed. So about 10 tabs were loading at once and then a LOUD ad was playing because I was playing music at the same time. So I'm scrambling, trying to find which tab it is and scrolling to the bottom of each one. By the time I found it, the ad had finished and I wasn't 100% sure which tab was the guilty one! Talk about annoying...

I know on Chrome when a tab is playing audio there's an audio symbol on the tab itself. Ran into the same problem as you but was able to identify which one was causing the problem.
