Spam Advertisements

[jesster88]

I am on the mobile version of the site and I keep hitting a spam advertisement. I get redirected to a page with pop ups saying that my phone needs to be scanned for a virus. I understand that an ad bar is necessary, but spam and viruses are not cool.

jesster88, another user had this issue last week and rickypb at Proboards is looking into it. I'm going to link him to this thread so that he can address the issue.

rickypb it happened to me again on desktop. I got a screen shot and I will post it once I'm home

Just posting to note that we were able to track down the mobile ad in question, and it should be removed from the rotation soon

NariaDreaming - I asked this on support just now, but I'll ask here just in case you see this first. Was it the desktop view when using a mobile device (phone / tablet)? Or desktop when using a computer?

Desktop while on the computer. I'll hop over to support and post my screenshot now that I"m home.
