Proboards redirecting spam UPDATE in OP

[bowies]

Yes this happens to me a lot. I always thought it was just me. This has been going on for over a year and is much worse if I'm on the iPad.

This happens to me, too! It seems to come in spurts where it happens all the time for a day or two and then stops for a bit. It started back up yesterday.

Does this happen to anyone else?  Lately, when I GBCN on my phone, I am getting redirected to random spammy type websites or the App Store.  It seems to happen more often early in the morning.  What's up with that?

Brought to you by me trying to distract myself from my taxi phobia.  Does anyone else feel like they're gonna die every time they get into a cab?

Some days I am cool in the cab
Other days, yeah. I understand where you are coming from. Especially if you are off the beaten track. Which is why I don't get people that use Uber. Either passenger or driver.
I wonder how scared taxi drivers are. Any day, their passenger could be crazy or just trying to rob you.

Me too. I posted on the support board last week. I don't think I ever got a response.

[bowies]

I posted in your support thread too.

Yep, me too.

And the only time I thought I was going to die in a cab was in Mexico. It was insane, the guy was weaving through traffic and side swiped another car and ripped his side mirror off, and kept going.

Yep, happens to me all the time and it's so annoying! It only happens when I'm on my ipad. Has never happened when I'm on my PC or my Android phone. I posted in the thread on the support board. Hopefully they can fix this!

Happens to me as well.

Posting in the Support Board is the best way to get it taken care of.

They want to know what IOS you're using, what phone, and timing of the incident. This was a problem a few months ago and they couldn't find the culprit for awhile because it was in the early morning hours. They had to have their IT folks stay late to get it shut down. You might want to remind them of this since for awhile were thinking it was unique to certain phones or time zones, when in reality it was a question of when they were running their searches for the guilty party.

Make sure you're checking the thread you started and answering the questions they ask as it does help them figure it out. I thought it would be as easy as noting the banner ad at the top and the app to which I was directed, but that's not the case.

I will ensure the support team is on this.
