As mentioned before, this was an edge case and should not happen again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

A change in their code was causing a full redirect to the ad content.

To support the service (and keep free features free), we sometimes run advertisements, and the agreement for this has been in our terms of service since 2006.

We try hard to only run them in limited places. If you would like to completely eliminate ads from appearing on your blog, we offer the No-Ads Upgrade: http://en.support.wordpress.com/no-ads/

This was definitely an edge case, which should not happen again, as that provider was cancelled.

Can you tell me why it happened or what triggered it?

This should never happen again.

Sorry about that!

I haven't been able to get it to pop anything up within the last hour, so hopefully things have improved. I'm thinking maybe I was linking to an evil image somehow. I didn't have any complaints until my most recent post last night, so I gutted the images from it and started over. I'll keep an eye on it. -Dan

Don't link to the image here, just let us know when you've uploaded it so we can take a look at what's happening and isolate the issue?

This is disturbing both for them and for me, and I'm trying to figure out what is going on. I've used my own iPhone to recreate this, and I can't figure out why they pop up on occasion. There are ads from WordPress at the bottom of each article, and I hope that is not causing the situation. Hope you can help. Thanks, Dan
