Am I the only one being redirected to these things in just about every thread I open on my phone today? This site is practically unusable right now.

It does that to me some days. It's really random.
Hasn't happened in awhile though. It's not just this forum, either. It happens on other proboards sites.

I am not getting them on Proboards but everywhere else. My guess Is that either the Google Chrome browser or AVG has been hacked.

I’ve got an ad blocker, but I can’t open links in a thread because of it. Some site mess with you if you have an ad blocker. The local TV news website won’t let you access their weather radar link if you have it on.

I can't open links in any thread either (I have to copy and paste the URL), but I have the ad blocker off for this site.

It still doesn’t work copying and pasting the URL. I whitelisted freeforums and it doesn’t work.

Thanks. I'm not intentionally blaming you or the site. I've seen other people mention this happening in the past though and it's just being really bad for me today. Also, I can't really report anything since it redirects me to another page.

PB is usually pretty quick about fixing issues such as these. I assume that's probably why it doesn't happen all the time.

The way Admins has got his knickers in a twist over popups reinforces my view that it is much wider, and I would finger google or AVG as the culprit. Google has a help page with hints on how to get rid of them. I appear to have been successful on my Win10 laptop by removing all Chromes history, saved passwords and cookies but it took a couple of days to get back on Proboards. My tablet is still infected and blanks the screen with a popup at random times. A clue is that the ads are personally very relevant, so must be feeding from googles customer database.

I have knickers? And they're in a twist? Huh. Thanks for letting me know because I thought I was just being informative.

It's that way for me. Every page I open gets redirected to the bottom of the page where the usually ignorable ads are. Driving me crazy.
