I'm getting weird redirects from this website. It's happened twice today and once last week. Today's were on a site called "surewin", but the one from last week was to a porn site. The first two times it happened, I could force stop the app and then it would work fine. That didn't work for the most recent one, and I had to clear the cache and data to make it stop.
I only pea from my phone using Chrome.
Is it happening to anyone else?

Yes! I'm getting it too. I thought my tablet had an virus and that's why it was happening but I guess not if its happening to others.

I thought it was a virus, too. I'm sorry it's happening to you, but at the same time I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Some days it happens repeatedly until I just give up and close the site. Other days, it doesn't happen at all. I am usally redirected to an Uber app and then my phone gives me a "whoa--dangerous site--do you really want to go there?" message.

admin - Is there a way to report the redirects?

I haven't gotten any until I started reading your thread and BAM! twice in a row. I've never had that happen before

Me! I hadn't put it together that it was just this site until I saw this post.

I was getting weird redirects last week. It didn't stop until I purchased an ad blocker app.
I'm using an iPhone with Safari.

I seem to get them only when I access this site from my phone and when I am not on wi-fi. I got a couple earlier today.

This problem is caused by malicious adverts. The ultimate responsibility is with the advert networks who provide the ads to Proboards (and elsewhere) but to deal with it Proboards will need to identify the responsible advert(s). As always, all the details need to be reported on the Proboards support forum. To help track down the problem ads they will need as many details as possible: Name of this forum Date/time of redirect What device you're using Whether you were viewing the full site or mobile version Where you're located, as ads are often distributed regionally Details of any ads you can see on the page before the redirect kicks in (a screen shot even better!) I notice that Proboards have had a few other reports in the last day or so, and they have already eliminated some ads.

Yes and they drive me crazy. I'll switch to the Tapatalk app for a while then try again. Very frustrating.

I got one yesterday for the first time. It locked up my iPad and I had to clear the history to get rid of it. I use safari.
