This morning I signed in, and I now have advertising popping up in the middle of threads when I click on a thread. I cannot read anything until I close the ad.
Is this a glitch or a new proboards ad program?
This also occurred when I clicked on my profile to check notifications.

Did you use the Report Ad function at the top of any page on the board?

It happens to me on my iPhone on safari. It’s damned annoying.

I see it happened to someone on an Apple product, is that what you are using? I like using Chrome for my browser and even on my Iphone I use the FireFox Browser app. I hope you can get your settings straightened out. |

Using an ad blocker is against the PB ToS, by the way. But, as Tennesseer mentioned, the best thing to do is report it. There are links to do so in the menu bar as well as the bottom of every forum page (assuming you're on a pc, or using the desktop version of a mobile browser). If the ad actually navigates you away from the site, they have automatic system to detect those. But, it takes a little while for them to be removed.
