First of all sorry for the inconvenience. Trying to resolve this has been difficult. We're not always able to reproduce the problem which means we have no way of fixing it. We rely on information from people experiencing these problems to assist us in removing the bad adverts from our network.

If you're having a problem, we could really use some help from you. The more details you can provide the quicker we can fix it. Just bytching about it isn't going to do anyone much good. Please provide as much of the following as you can:

  • Forum Skin that's being used:
  • Tell us the URL the ad is serving from. All this takes is right-clicking the ad image, selecting "Copy Image Location", and pasting the URL:
  • IF it redirects the site to your app store. Please minimize your app store and reopen your browser. You'll most likely have a blank page or a page with an ad; please copy and paste the URL of that page:
^ The skin and the URL are the most helpful pieces of information. Please try to include both
  • What type of device you're using:
  • What problem you experienced? Popup/Redirect..etc:
  • A screenshot of the Ad:

Please refrain from posting in this thread unless you can provide the information we've asked for. As frustrating as this is for you as viewers, its equally frustrating for us when we can't do anything about it. We'd like to be able to receive an alert to this thread and know that the new post has enough information for us to be able to stop the problem for you and others. Thanks

aight cool, it was happening again today but I wasn't in a wifi area. I pay too much money for this fukking iPhone for this shyt. But when it happens again I will gladly take a pic, post it & follow the rest of the steps . As far as the skin, I have the fixed width one.

nothing is going on with the site. the ad partners we use sometimes make mistakes or get deceived by ad campaigns. unless you provide the details requested in the OP then its unlikely that we'll be able to help resolve the problem. we complain to the ad networks and they ask us for the information that we're asking you for. ive never seen a porn site or anything that you're reporting so unless you give me the information about the suspected bad ad then theres absolutely nothing i can do.
