Is anyone else having issues with popups on the mobile site or do I have a virus. Driving me crazy.

I am on my mobile right now and don't have any issues. Is it also happening on other websites or just this one?

Bexi mentioned in passing the other day that she had struggled with the mobile forum. Apparently a third party to Proboards runs the ads side of things and sometimes rogue ones get through. Popups and redirects or anything intrusive should not be there. There are a few recent complaints on Proboards Support about this type of thing. It seems we need to report the regular advert that was legitimately displaying across the top which triggered the popup and Proboards will look into it and the time it occurred. They have a Report ads function here, but I'm not seeing the list of ads that we are supposed to choose from, so I don't know what's up with that, does it show the list for anyone else? ads.proboards.com/ad-report.htmlThe other thing mentioned to try is to clear your cache and cookies. |

I think the ad report tool isn't showing the ad list for me because I'm using adblock. So, I think if you go to the ad report tool from the link above from the device where you are having a problem, then your cookies will populate the list and allow you to select the offending ad.
Do go ahead and make the reports if you can, let me know how you get on.

Yeah I had this problem with the mobile site and didn't have my laptop to get on any other way. It's seems to have sorted itself out now so fingers crossed it has been fixed.

Oh, just had my first experience of the pop up grrrrrrrrrrrrrr! One of those that constantly updates itself, then asks if you really want to leave so you it has time to reload itself a dozen times and you can't just hit the back button (although long hold and block back a couple of times works  ). I wouldn't mind so much, but I am anti Apple, and that's all that keeps coming up! |

Oh, if you use my technique, you won't be able to see them in the ad reporting tool!

I hate typing on my phone . . . I have such wide fingers and am always hitting two letters at a time, which of course means correcting and so forth. If I had to deal with popups all the time on top of that . . . I'd be done for the day!!

My phone has a really bad touchscreen some days however some days it is fine so it takes me ages to type something and I just say to my friends "Talk Skool" Because I can't type anything without taking 10 minutes
