And more importantly, why am I redirected to it when I try and open a page on the forum?
Its really getting annoying to the point were I don't want to log on here because of it.

Each time I try to open a page I get redirected to it, X off it and back to the forum page I wanted. Really annoying

Still the same for me.
Not a bother really but don't understand why it comes up !
Von Nudenut and I appear to have the same problem.
Cheers

Yeah it doesn't come up for me.
What platforms are you using and version of software etc. I need to report this so they can look at the problem and try to resolve it
Thanks

Yep me too. Have the same issue with pop ups on my phone sometimes too.
Probably to do with the embedded advertising that proboards use.

Me too 😡
It's a pain in the arse to say the least. I don't get pop ups on any other website.
I'm using all Apple products.

Thanks
Ad Report Tool
Welcome to our Ad Report page. Just like you, we hate annoying ads. If an ad has violated our policies, you can use the information on this page to help report it to us. Thank you for taking the time to make ProBoards a better place!
What ads violate ProBoards' policies?
We prohibit ads that:
annoy us (rapidly flashing, bouncing, etc)
automatically play audio
attempt to redirect you to another page
attempt to install software on your computer or device
promote adult content or services
Important! How do I report an ad?
It is very important that you report the correct ad from the list below. Each time you load a page on a ProBoards forum, we ask your browser to remember which ad was served to it. Using this information we have created the below "Recent Ad List" which shows you which pages you visited and when you visited them.
Using the Recent Ad List, look at the the URL and the time listed. Find the entry that matches the exact page you were visiting when the problem ad occurred and has the exact time that you viewed the page. When you have found this, click the "Report" button next to that entry. Last, fill out the form that pops up and click submit to send your report to us.

I just submitted a report via the Report Ad link at teh bottom. The more of us that do it the more they will pay attention.
"Whenever I click on ANY board from the Ozfirestorm homepage it opens another tab and tries to take me to this lytacombs thing via a URL called findbetterresults.
My router now blocks the new tab completely saying the page is trying to steal my personal information.
This is affecting everyone who uses Ozfirestorm on any device to the point where no one wants to use Ozfirestorm any more."

I tried but no link comes up for me to click on. I may need to loosen up my security settings, but that's not happening!
