Is PB just buggy?

@nolagal, that sounds like something the ads might be causing, but it could be an issue with your phone as well. I'll look into it on this end. Do you use a virus program on your phone? It might be worth running to check if not. I have Avast on my phone and have no issues like that.

I checked around Google and Proboards Support and couldn't find any instances of someone having the same problem. It might be malware. I hope it isn't though.

I'll reach out to someone at proboards and see if they can find an issue on their end

[theophania]

@nolagal Proboards is looking into it to double check there's not an issue they can solve. Are you on android or iOS?

[theophania]

Also, @nolagal they would like the following information: "Can you find out if they browse with the mobile or desktop view on their mobile device? Also check with them to find out when the most recent occurrence of the issue happened"

It just happened again. I was on the F15 board.

Do you, by any chance, remember which ads were showing when it happened?

Hi @nolagal,

I've been doing some testing for this for much of the day, though unfortunately haven't been able to come across the issue myself just yet. It's coming close to the end of my day, but will pick up on the search again tomorrow.

In addition to the question NariaDreaming asked about which ads were showing on the page, can you also give a guess on how frequent you get this issue when browsing on the forum? Is it something that just happens a couple of times per day? Or does it seem to come up a lot more frequent than that?

[rickypb]

Thanks for the extra info, @nolagal. We've been doing some more screening today, but still haven't been able to find anything on it. I have gone ahead and added PB+ to your account which will give you an ad-free experience when logged into your account. It'll last for a month, so it should be sorted by the time that expires

[theophania]

Thank you so much rickypb for helping us quickly when issues pop up.

I just wanted to add that I have this issue occasionally too! I am in safari and when I type in my address bar it autocompletes to a weird app address

Is there any update to this issue? It's been happening to me a lot this weekend. I'm on Safari on an iPad, and I'm being redirected to an adking website selling some game.

The previous issue was fixed. I will let proboards know that there is another problem.

[theophania]

manderslvt, are you still having the issue? If so can you try clearing your cache/cookies and see if it goes away?

It actually hasn't happened since I posted here yesterday. I'll try clearing my cache anyway for the hell of it.

[theophania]

Let me know if it happens again.
