I got a redirect that automatically downloaded something to my computer. I got a screenshot of it and reported it, but yesterday I was getting mobile redirects to porn all day and now this. What is up with our current advertisers?

Ok. I'll look into whether or not proboards has addressed the issue or if it's being discussed on other forums. Unfortunately it seems like these things slip in no matter what ad network they use.
I'm only going to announce this for a few days so that everyone can see it and then it will be pinned in the Help forum.
Proboards has a new tool that will generate a list of the ads last shown to users. If you experience a redirect you can use this tool to help Proboards find the affected ad more quickly (yay!). Here is the information from the Proboards team:
The tool mentioned isn't 100% yet, but given the issues I think it would be best to try and use it anyway where possible if it can identify the culprit sooner. Companies causing issues like this should be rooted out to benefit not just us, but the internet as a whole.
For affected users, if they visit ads.proboards.com/ad-report.html you should see the time and URL. Copy the ad code from the time you had the redirect and if possible specify which ad location caused the redirect. Send that in a PM to one of the admins here or post to Proboards Support support.proboards.com/
I bolded the steps in order to provide a quick view of what to do. This tool is still being worked on so if it doesn't work one time try it again later. If it does not work for you please PM me the information below per usual. This tool should work on mobile and desktop.
Information to PM in the event of a redirect if the tool does not work: iPhone, Android, or Desktop - Mobile or Desktop view - Browser - Wifi or Data - Cell Provider if mobile - Time of redirect - General geographic location - Any links or information about the redirect that you feel may help -
Thank you to everyone for being patient with us when these redirects do happen and a HUGE thank you to Proboards for continuing to work to create solutions to any issues we have as they occur.
I just got a redirect that completely incapacitated my tapatalk. I couldn't back out of it, I had to force stop the app. I'm on my home wifi on a Samsung device

Well shit, that's a new one on us.
It was one of those fake Google popups that acts like a warning that your phone is infected and asks you to click a link to repair it. Not good.

That would be a tapatalk ad. Proboards ads do not show on Tapa and neither do ours. Has it happened since? I don't believe Tapa has a report ads feature, but we could post to their support board.

I called Patrick and he texted Tapa's CEO. Should be handled

I am using chrome on a desktop and the site is basically unusable due to an air Canada video ad that I cannot stop or mute that keeps popping up anytime I open any thread. . Reported it using the tool, but it says "no ads to submit" after I send the report...

Hooray it appears to be gone! Thanks
Sometimes a malicious ad will get "stuck" to you via a cookie. Often, clearing your browsing history will resolve the issue

Question - I just got two redirect ads in a few minutes while in Safari private browsing (desktop). Since I'm in private browsing, the Ad Report tool for PB is useless here. Is that the kind of thing I start a thread on PB's support board, or do I PM someone the info?
ETA: Jeeeez, I've gotten 4 in the last few minutes.

Is there anyway that you can open a non-private session, or is it a work computer?
I've had a few other people report ads this morning through the tool so hopefully that catches them. If you can't open a window that allows for the add reporting and let me know and I'll let Patrick know

I can going forward. I do have the info theophania lists in the OP here, if that's helpful to Patrick. I'll wait to hear from you if that's useful before I post or message it so as not to clutter anything up. Thanks, Naria!

It's infinitely easier for them to track them down with the tool. Like they can get rid of them in a matter of five minutes with the tool versus several hours of work on their end with the information that we used to give them

Hey y'all. I've been redirected like 12 times in the past hour and every time I try to do the ad report tool I either get 404'ed or the tool isn't working. It's a flashing ad that says it's for microsoft windows
Try clearing your browser history, cache, delete cookies. And see if that solves it. Sometimes a bad ad will stick to you and cause multiple redirects.
