Their ads are starting to make this site unreadable. First they started putting in video ads that kept locking up my browser, and now they are allowing ads that completely redirect my browser to a blank page that has nothing but the ad. Can't Volleytalk do anything about this?

I'm with this as well...what the heck is going on? It makes the site almost unusable.b

I haven't seen it this morning yet, but last night. Using Google Chrome as well in Windows 7. I would be in the midst of browsing and I got randomly redirected to another window even 2-3 minutes or so - usually with some public service announcement (don't smoke, don't drink and drive), and a countdown for a redirection to another page, that ended up being blank. It almost looked like a test feature.
I have often had volleytalk get into molasses mode, where the letters appear up to 15 seconds after I type them into comment boxes. I'm guessing it has to do with the video ads, but i don't know. Ihave to shut down the window when that happens.

No problems on my Mac.
But prefer to view it on my iPad anyway.

I did some research, and the site that we were being redirected to is a known adware "black" site. They are known to distribute malware that offers bogus toolbars and other things that track your browsing and insert their own ads into your web pages. However, as best I can tell I don't have any of their junk installed on my machine. And I have never been redirected to them ever before (or since). And it was only happening from proboards.
So I think they slipped some nasty code into some ads that they sold to proboards, but it appears proboards removed it.

I started using tapatalk to access VT on my iPad. It doesn't show any of the polls, so I have to go back to my PC to see the polls.

I have to stop my mobile browser as soon as the page loads or I get kicked to my App Store to buy some random app... Uber, or a game, or insert app here... Is it just pro boards? I'm running an Apple IOS... And it logged me out and did this atleast 1/2 dozen times before I could post this message...
