    Hi,

    I've recently started using an iPad to browse boards, and in the last day or two I'd noticed a problem with some ads on the site.

    And ad for an iOS app, Agent Alice, see,s to be able to force safari close, and to open the App Store page for that game.

    It's gotten to the point where every time I open a board page key redirected.
    I have popups blocked, but it doesn't prevent this happening.

    Any chance of getting these ads removed from the site.

    Browsing using safari, and using the full version of the site.

    Thanks,

    bw

    Just to add, the redirect being pushed by these ads seems to be networks.admarket.com and then woogatrack.com

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
