Today when I click on an unread thread I'm being redirected to a "win an iPhone" or "your phone is infected" page.
This happened last year but it seemed to stop. Anyone else noticed this?

Dump temporary files and you should be grand.

Not had anything myself but if this is happening then it's a pain.
Unfortunately it would be a problem with Proboards rather than Gaschat specifically and, as such, only they would be able to sort it.
Hopefully Hugo's workaround will help

Or use one of the many cache cleaning apps like CCleaner. Which I have, and it's worked. Thanks Hugo.

I had a load of absolutely vile pornography all over my laptop. Nothing to do with Gaschat though.

Deleted all temporary files. Got pop ups blocked. It's getting worse. Problem is that it isn't even pop ups as it just randomly directs you to another site or the app store. Arggghhgdvhdhjdbzvzjjdjdnd

I have never accessed the forum on my phone or tablet. Don't think I will now.

I've been having problems too today.
You need to delete browser history as well as clearing cache and deleting temp files.
It's particularly bad at the moment.
Hopefully I've cured it this time.
Unfortunately it's a problem that only proboards can fix.
We are powerless to fix it.
Sorry everyone.

So close to destroying my phone.
Cannot access Gaschat normally. Every time I do it sends me to a spam site. Deleted Internet files several times so no problem there. Literally impossible for me to read any thread as it instantly spams me.
Only way I've got back on is by accessing through Google search link.
Anyone else struggling?

I only use gaschat on my phone so cant even contact proboard admin. |

$6 a month to remove ads! That's what they're trying to force us in to!

paying proboards $6 wouldn't make any difference....
