Come on, proboards

Is anyone else getting this or is my phone the problem?

I'll open a thread, read for a bit then get a tinder page with boobs.

Ive never been to tinder so I don't think it's my cookies.

I cant get out of it except for closing window

[omgzombies]

I get a "Google" page that says I've won a $1000 amazon gift card. No way to close it also.

Report it here: support.proboards.com/board/44/support-board

Won't let me. I don't mind boobs, but not exactly work friendly, and you can't get out of it.

I go to the Report Ad Tool on the support page, but it doesn’t give me any sites under the “Time/URL” headings to report?

[heat40]

Yes I can arely write this post as I've been redirected 3 times and counting

[y4m]

Patrick - can you guys help us help you fix this effectively? The ad report tool on the support page never works for me either.

Same. Gave up trying to read any threads on my phone this a.m.

I've had this problem with increasing frequency lately, too (usually redirects to a page claiming I've won something from Google). Last time this happened I could avoid it using Firefox incognito. Always when I'm on 4G.

Let's see if this posts...

[aurora]

Well I managed one post after 3 redirects.

Guess I'll sign of and check back when I'm on wifi and this doesn't happen.

Me three.
Thanks for the tip about it not happening on wifi - I switched over and indeed the pop ups have stopped.

[MrsAxilla]

Well I didn't before I opened this thread. Thanks, sushi! Lol

I was able to stop the redirects on Safari by turning off JavaScript. Go to settings, Safari, advanced, and uncheck JavaScript.

The redirects on Safari require the use of JavaScript apparently. I'm not sure if this works for other browsers.

If I have to suffer so do you! Boobs are good when I look for them. Just not when I'm trying to read my politics.

If you get an intrusive ad like this - it may still be possible to scroll to the bottom and use the "Report Ad" button to report it - I believe that captures the details about the ad and your settings and sends them to proboards to correct. I can't report myself without replicating it, but at least that link doesn't require you to set up a second account on the proboards support board.

[bernsteincat]

It seems to be fixed now, at least for me.

[atarianna]

I took a screen shot of the ad earlier hoping to ask if anyone else had been seeing it. I even erased all the cookies on my phone but it didn’t help.

[nsl]

Frankly, shit like this is why I don't disable my ad blocker here.

[sofamonkey]

Ohhhhh! I thought I got a virus or something. :/ I now wish I’d taken a screenshot.

I have an ad blocker and still got hit with it!
