No clue what you are talking about never seen anything like that...my guess is you have something hijacking your browser on your tablet.

If you can capture a screen image or better yet the source code I can look into it for you.

Sorry...... when you see this thing, right click on it and select view page source and copy it....then you can paste it so I can see it. This way we can find out where it is coming from.

We do not allow that kind of advertising on DTR...usually it is something you have picked up elsewhere and are not aware of it..Having said that occasionally one of our advertising partners tries to sneak something past us and we have to shut it down, I can only do that if I know what it actually is.

I don't see things like that but I keep my Browser and PC clean from spyware and updated to the latest versions. I don't use a tablet so I do not know what your options are in that regard but keeping the browser on it updated will help against this type of shady advertising no matter where it comes from.

No right click on a tablet.

address started with www.hellobc

It doesn't happen on other sites for me. I've seen it as a targeted advertising banner on DTC, but seems to self-open.

Sounds like you picked up a browser hijacker on DTC we don't have anything like that here.
