Random Redirects?

Sometimes when I'm browsing the forum, when I click on a link, and I get randomly redirected to another website. I don't have any malware, I used a trusted thingy to check, as well as checking myself, I don't have any unknown processes running, I have firewall, haven't gone to any sites that I haven't verified myself, etc. It has happened on multiple devices. The links that I click don't seem have any sort of pattern, and the pages I'm redirected to aren't Malware, viruses, or anything malicious. The pages are purely random. I've looked, and the pages I've been redirected to aren't related to the advertisements on the forum, so it can't be a missclick.
As stated earlier, it doesn't seem to be malicious, but it is inconvenient and makes me nervous.
Um... here's a question mark to turn it into a question: ?
That's how it works, right?
Oh nevermind, that question mark was irrelevant, as I've got one right up here. ^

I have adblock, but since I'm not sure how it works, I don't want to enable it when I go onto Fwig, because I want Dr. Frook to get money n stuff, not that it's very much.
I'll just suck it up and deal with it.
Thanks anyway!

I actually have the same thing happen when I'm on mobile, sometimes. It may be some mean ads that aren't playing by the rules. Keep a list of the URLs you get sent to and once Frook gets back from his trip we'll send it to him.

Does it still persist? and is it only on a particular page? or does it redirect to a particular page?

Not to my knowledge, though I haven't been on very much lately.
