Hello flyfishingmusic

I think you and the members of your forum will be involved in the process of removal of those ads. If I recall correctly, there's something about hitting the back-button on your browser that will trip some sort of flag which will identify them as bad ads and they'll soon be pulled from the rotation.

Stay tuned for a reply from a Support Admin.

It shouldn't require hitting the back button on your browser, but redirect ads are indeed reported to us automatically.

For everything else that violates our ad standards there's the Report Ad link in the footer links.

where in the footer?

[Brian]

The footer of your own forum. This forum doesn't have ads on it.

It's difficult to see because of the background on your forum, but there are links at the very bottom of the page.


Basically these, in terms of the words which are link on the actual page.

I've noticed some forum owners have chosen to add a link to the Report Ad function in their Navigation Bar so it's available at the top of the page, too.  Perhaps that's another tool you might add to your kit?

Ya but it is the redirects that that are the issues NOT a top or bottom ad like the report ad asks for

Hi

If it is one of the ads causing the redirect, it will be embedded in one of the ads that displays at the top or bottom of the forum.  As Brian posted above, however, ProBoards actively monitors for redirects and these are automatically reported to be accessed, so you shouldn't need to report redirects.
