The following post is a Pulse Service Announcement. :) This concerns Colton, @touch, maine, Stephen, or anyone else this may be affecting. It's looking like - surprise, surprise - the ad-redirecting issue is something that's affecting ProBoards in general. Examples: support.proboards.com/thread/578432/redirected-king-adssupport.proboards.com/thread/578402/ad-redirect^ In the second thread, ProBoards staff are recommending that they be given the following information regarding these ad redirects, so as to be able to help them root out the cause(s) of the redirect issues more efficiently: Alternatively, there is also a potential ad-logging tool that can aid in logging this data. However, be advised that it's currently in testing phases and is therefore not a guarantee: support.proboards.com/post/6600583There's really two ways we can try and deal with this here. We can pile information here and then pass it all along to them, or if anyone's so inclined, you can take it to Support yourself directly. But multiple Pulsers contacting Support with the same issue may not be the best way to communicate it to them.

In the support site, it says that they get redirected to King games. I only get redirected like 5 times in half a second then it goes to a stereotypical porn ad thing...

UPDATE: OK, the ad-logging tool that I link to above is well past any testing phases. :) It's ProBoards Staff's main tool for being able to deal with the re-directing ads, actually. ads.proboards.com/ad_debugger.htmlAnd this thread is a pretty much clear-cut example of how the ad-debugger will work: support.proboards.com/thread/579172/forum-hijacked-impossible-view-ipadSo yeah, pretty much the best way to help deal with these directly is to go straight to the Support Board and post the ad data there so they can deal with it more quickly. NOTE that you don't even need to register there; you can post there as a Guest User.

The ads always pop up when I'm not on wifi (as it always does). It was terrible for me last night. I could barely navigate the website.
