In light of Ceefer's ongoing issues regarding ad-redirecting while trying to view CH on his iPhone, I thought it would be best to give this issue its own thread. The issue is best explained by this post from a Proboards Southampton FC supporters site, they also added some excellent information on how to go about reporting any ad-redirects to the Proboards staff - here is the link: itsbeautifuloutside.proboards.com/thread/20300/reporting-spam-redirecting-adsI hope this helps. Please note, the ad reporting page may not load if you have an ad-blocker enabled - ironic or what?! |

Yes there's always one....
Thanks for checking this out Gazz.
It seems to have settled down now but I will use the form to report any new re-directs.

Yes there's always one.... Not a bit of it, ceef - one issue is one too many, so it's never a problem, matey. Thanks for checking this out Gazz. No worries, mate, always happy to help. I'm just sorry it took so long, but those nightshifts were a killer! It seems to have settled down now but I will use the form to report any new re-directs. Hopefully someone else has already reported the offending ad.  |

I'm sorry to read that, ceef. As with all these pain in the backside things, those responsible tend to find ways around any measures put in place. However, Proboards staff are - on the whole - very helpful and efficient, so I'm sure they will rectify this. Please keep me informed, mate. |

Thanks Gazz. Ive sent in ad reports everyday for the past week connecting via 3G but its the same, so I can only use the forum via WiFi. This is going to sound like a ridiculous question, I know, but have you tried using an an blocker? Also, maybe try another browser? If it continues it may be best to report it on the Proboards forums yourself, as you will be able to describe the problem you're having more accurately. If you need help reporting it let me know, mate, but try using an blocker and/or different browser in the meantime. |

Intrusive, redirecting ads really pi** me off, who in their right mind actually takes the scammers up on their 'offers'?
If there really are enough gullible morons out there to make it worth their efforts to dodge, weave and deceive all the counter measures that are in place on the average device, then we really are f**ked as a civilisation.
My first rule of internet browsing is this:
If you didn't search for it, don't click on it.
