I noticed in the past week or two (only on the mobile site), sometimes I'll get a pop-up ad that's all "you won money on amazon.com woooo" and it's definitely spammy and not from clicking any of the banners on the forum, but I can't close the tab without clicking the "ok yeah take me there!" button T__T. idk if anyone else has gotten these (maybe my phone has malware?! D:) but they don't seem to appear when I'm at my laptop, and I haven't seen them in the past couple days. Any thoughts? Just thought I'd point this out in case others are experiencing this too.
If it helps, it happened on an iphone 6 in the chrome app.

Sounds like malware! This page describes a few simple steps to get rid of malware on an iPhone. It's for Safari, but Chrome probably has similar settings you can use. I hope the above fixes the issue for you! If not, maybe try some more things to see if you can pinpoint what's happening more precisely? E.g. try browsing in desktop mode or in a different browser. |

Thanks! Will be on the lookout for anymore clues if it happens again.

I've been getting these on a LOT of sites. I use iOS and Safari. I don't know why but it's been happening in the past week or so. My guess is it isn't just ProBoards. :/
(I have pop-ups blocked in my settings, and I still get them)

I've just gotten the same thing.. I think.
I tried to log into WW on my phone yesterday, and got one of those spammy popups that you can't close, there's just an "Ok" button. ANDDDDD, no thanks, I'm not pressing "Ok", haha.
So I uninstalled chrome off the phone in order to remove the popup, and re-enabled Chrome, and it was gone. Browsing all websites perfectly fine for an hour or so until I tried to log into WW again. Popup of doom, again.
