For some weird reason, whenever I view any page of the SDMB on my iPhone it opens up the apps homepage. This doesn’t happen with any other websites. Does anyone else have this problem?

No, not me. I’m posting from my iPhone. Try clearing your cache, cookies, and history from Safari. You’ll have to log in again after you do this, but as long as you check the “Remember Me” box, you’ll only have to do it once.

There are occasionally ads for games and apps which automatically open the app store.
