I hope we didn't lose you again karen8787 I just stalked you and see this has been going on awhile. âšī¸ Another thing to try would be to change your browser and see if it is happening in the new browser. But definitely report the ad (bottom right). *Note to everyone. itsrad and I want your experience here to be a calm relaxing one, not having issues every time you visit. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you are having issues and we will try our best to walk you through it. Either start a post or message us, we are here to help if we can.

I guess I've been on a moratorium from the messages. Should they come again I'll take a pic and try to post it. Wanted you to know why I haven't posted anything. Maybe after the holidays? I don't know. Karen

karen8787 I am glad it has stopped, main thing is to use that "report ad" button so ProBoards can ban the ad. They don't tolerate ads like that.

It just occurred! I took a pic of what comes at the bottom of the screen and then when I get when I click the carat. I posted on Tapatalk to Website Help.
I don't know where they went! Am looking for them.
I haven't noticed a "report ad" button, but wouldn't have thought to click on it since I thought it was pro boards ad!

karen8787 I just switched to mobile to double-check and it is in the exact same place Scroll down to bottom of this page It is the very last thing on the line that starts Terms of Service | Privacy | etc (these are all in blue because they are links) Report Ad <<< ProBoards sells ad space here, their ads have to meet certain criteria when the people they sell ad space to violate their ad guidelines, they want to know! They might have hired a company to make an ad for them and not known. They really would want to know, they are very nice people. I personally have never had a pop up from them, I just see their ads on the top and bottom of the chat space. I use Chrome. Is anyone else seeing these? (Pop ups from ProBoards not the usual ads.)

Here I am again. I tried this morning to Report the Ad but I can't.
There are two "drop downs". One is "select ad". When I click on it, nothing comes up.
The other drop down is about the ad. I selected "annoying" and then went on to describe what was happening in the text box. Then when I tried to submit, I couldn't. the message said that I had to select something in the "select ad" drop down, but there was nothing to select. so, the report ad didn't work.
I'll just ignore it and see what happens. thanks.

karen8787 hm I just tried it I see "top ad, bottom ad 1, bottom ad 2" . And you are seeing nothing on that select ad drop down menu? Weird. I haven't used Tapatalk so I am not familiar with the app, I am wondering if this is on their end, maybe they have a different way to report issues. Have you tried just going to the website without using the app, just in a regular browser to see if it is happening there too? wwmessageboard.freeforums.net/post/new/10681

I thought if I donated some $$ I'd get off the list. I donated... it's been awhile but I think it was about $25. Didn't change anh=ything. I still get those adblock ads. The thing is, if they'd just give a list of steps of what to do for this site, I'd just do it. this is so very annoying. I figure some day I won't be able to post anything.

karen8787 wwmessageboard.freeforums.net/thread/10681/ad-blocking?page=2Try using that link, I am trying to figure out if this is a tapatalk issue or proboards. Unless I am seeing exactly what you are seeing it is hard to figure out what is going on. The only thing I can suggest is going to the Tapatalk support forum (look for a help button) and asking there, I am not familiar with Tapatalk so I'm not very helpful. I'm not sure how the contributions work for Tapatalk, I'm not sure if that is exclusive to proboards. I just want to add I've had no issues with using the direct link to proboards (the link I posted above), it cuts out the middleman and they are always right on top of things.

Hi, I just scrolled through the messages here. One of the questions was -- what do I see? I was asked for a screen shot, but don't know how to screenshot!
What I see is the ad that someone did a screenshot of in another message. A man's face with the choices to disable ad blocker or do it later.
I "click" on the phrase I'll do it later, or something like that, but I'm seeing this ad/page more often. I'm expecting it to block me in the future.

karen8787 I just want to clarify something for you. I went back and read everything. This site, ProBoards, requires you to not use an adblocker, that is how they make their money and can support these free forums. I think Rad did a walk-through on how to disable for just this forum earlier. If you turn off the adblocker for just this forum, THEN your adblocking contribution will probably kick in. But it doesn't have a chance to now cause it never gets to that point, all they are seeing is the adblocker,

On my computer I can click on the Adblock icon on the top bar of my browser, and click "disable on wwmessageboard.freeforums.net. I don't know if your Adblock add-on works the same way, since I assume it may be slightly different depending on the computer and browser. I am using a MacBook w/ Firefox.
