| every once and a while when i click on a thread in the videos section, it takes me to a spam site that tries to get me to download some flash player. It just happened too when i posted a reply to a thread in fingerboarding discussion also.
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem? Any help would also be appreciated, I'm on a macbook. |

| Not that I'm aware of. Try clearing the cookies & cache of your browser in the settings of it. That should do the trick. |

| Strange, I'm not experiencing it at all.
Can you guys screenshot the sites and post them in this thread next time it happens? |

| Strange, I'll check the forum host site to see if any other places are getting this too. |

| Are you guys using adblock?
I think this is the forum hosts new way of advertising for forums that haven't paid for ad removal. We have paid for ad removal however, so we shouldn't be getting them. Try clearing your cookies as meekin suggested, I just updated the settings to make sure that registered users shouldn't be seeing ads of any kind. |

| I get it on my work PC which doesn't have adblock but I never had the issue on my own computers which do have it. |
