I keep getting redirected away from ITTV

[Deleted]

Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed something really annoying happening sometimes after I have logged on to ITTV.

After a random amount of time the whole forum page suddenly changes into what looks like some kind of online news website, but I think it is just a site trying to sell something.
a few times I have suddenly found myself on a page I cannot close or leave, which tells me I have won a mobile phone if I fill in a survey. It is just some kind of subscription site.
I have had to close down Chrome and purge the history in order to get rid of it.

This does not happen when I press a particular key - it happens completely by itself usually when I am just reading a post, not doing anything at all with the keyboard or mouse.

I have done many virus and malware scans, and I am as sure as possible there is nothing wrong within my PC. And this redirection does not happen all the time. It has not happened yet today (so far).
It has not happened to me when I am on any other website or forum either, only here.

Has anybody else been having similar problems?

If his is something Pro-Boards are being payed to promote it is a pretty poor show.

Yeah sometimes i get it through my mobile phone

This has started happening to me today. An ad pops up almost instantly and the only way to get rid of it is to close the site down.

I must be pretty lucky though as I win a new iPhone every time!

Leave this with me but thanks for letting me know.

Yep same for me on my IPhone but not on my IPad!

I've been having exactly the same problem. Started yesterday evening and has made the site inaccessible from both my iPad and iPhone. Posting this from my iPad having switched to the desktop option from the mobile version of the site. Not quite as user friendly, but the endless pop ups are no longer blocking the site.

Right Guys this is the feedback I have just had from Proboards Support:

Hi, reamsofverse.

This is likely due to an ad redirect. Can you please have them report it on the following page immediately after the next time they receive one?

ads.proboards.com/ad-report.html

Assuming they navigate to that page without loading any new pages on the forum in between the first ad listed on that page will be the one that caused the redirect.
