Should I type those urls in a report box in the Report Ad tool, right now?

It's worth noting that you need to report the actual ad that's causing the popup, rather than reporting a random ad and submitting the URL alongside it.
The key difference is that reporting the actual ad that produced it will provide us with the information pertaining to the advertiser that's distributing that ad.

Michael, Brian, thanks for your advice. I guess we'll just have to wait till it happens again and try and catch them in the act. Will pass all this on to my fellow forum member. Thank you again, all who have helped by commenting. :-)

Well, the latest is I've had 3 members walk out, as they are not prepared to wait for the "wait and catch the hackers in the act plan"! One member says that since he provided me with a screenshot of the hackers' web addresses, proving that these just popped up on his screen whilst browsing our Dalek World Forum and he says Proboards should remove them from its system. So, is there a web address that I can email a copy of this screenshot to with the complaint, as I cannot paste it from a Facebook message to me, but I can share it by email? Thank you.

Craig - I have just had the Porns again - two windows - send a report, hope I did it properly - got two screenshots and the links as well. I don't think that the screenshots need to be posted on here though!! Strange it was in the German language though... I can only get out of the window by closing it - it is still open - do you need anything else before I close it ??

The key difference is that reporting the actual ad that produced it will provide us with the information pertaining to the advertiser that's distributing that ad. Brian, just want to make one thing clear - neither myself or my co-sufferer were viewing any ads on our forum, when these pop-ups occur, we are simply browsing on the Dalek World Forum itself, so we cannot report any other ad than the offending pop-up itself. I still don't know who to send the screenshot to at Proboards?

Every page on your forum contains either top or bottom ads. If you're browsing the forum you'll have received an ad at some point or another.
The reason I mentioned what I did is because the report you sent exactly 23 hours ago containing the address of the site you were sent to didn't contain any ads with redirects. I wanted to ensure that when you do receive a redirect that you're submitting the report containing the ad that caused it rather than submitting a report for a different ad unrelated to the issue.

Well you have totally confused me Brian.. The first time I posted I didn't report anything - I just panicked and got out of the page as soon as possible. When it happened today I tried to follow what I/we had been told what to do - report the page etc..it is the first time that I have reported a page so I didn't really know what I was doing.. I had to go to another window to even get to my forum - there are no adds at the bottom of the page when this happens - I am in a porn page..how to I find the Proboards ads then?? Sorry Brian, but not for the first time here, I feel totally useless and am not sure what I am supposed to have done wrong... I am more than willing to try again but not to be told that I am submitting posts for different adds or whatever...sorry but I do not understand..

Please excuse my ignorance, Brian, but do you mean the ads that are on the top & bottom of the page, whilst I am browsing (even though I don't click on them) are the conduits which the porno pop-ups use and it is these ads which you need us to report? Trying to understand here!:-)

BTW, Brian, I can screenshot these ads when it happens again, but I need an email address to send them to. I cannot paste them, as they won't have a url.

Trying to understand here!:-) That's correct. The top and bottom ads you receive are the ads that populate the ad report page and are the most likely means by which those popups are being delivered through rogue ads. When you send us a report from that page you're sending the advertiser ID and the exact advertisement you received. We then receive a notification of a new ad report and are able to open the ad on our end to attempt to duplicate the issue. However, if we can't reproduce the issue the report is ultimately discarded. BTW, Brian, I can screenshot these ads when it happens again, but I need an email address to send them to. I cannot paste them, as they won't have a url. If you have them uploaded somewhere you can just link them in the report. We don't have an email address for ad reports.

I will only have them downloaded on a mobile. I don't have a PC to upload them, so can't provide a link.
