Is anyone else having this problem that started this morning? Every page I go to on the forum I get this popup that I have to click to proceed...  Even posting this I have had to click AGREE three times! I have tried everything I can think of, including deleting cookies, deleting history, restarting, praying, and searching the Proboards support forum for answers, and so far....NOTHING! Uurrggghhh!!! Very annoying. I have hosted this forum for nearly 20 years and never experienced this before. I created a thread on the Proboards forum, but so far nothing constructive has been suggested. support.proboards.com/thread/edit/672598Thanks in advance. Shine On Michael  |

I think I have resolved this problem by changing my password.
I had received a message saying my password had been in a security leak and that I should change it. I just hadn’t realised the implications of what exactly that meant.

Darn....I WAS WRONG!
The popups are still coming! Urgghhhh..... I hope Proboards can help me to solve this problem.
Jono, I don't have another browser and don't want to use one, so there is no point in that test. Somehow a "nasty" has found its way into my world.

Further to my previous posting - on the Proboards support forum there are people on other forums experiencing the same problem and they are using different browsers, so it does appear to be a Proboards problem. Shine On Michael |

Hi Michael, any problems like this I try a reboot, shut down and reset.
Might help.

Thought you might have done Michael, but I remembered the time I set up my Hifi system and couldn't get it to work until my 11 year old son pointed out I hadn't turned the wall plug on!
Best wishes to you and fellow forum members and happy new year to all!
Best wishes, John

So far nothing here but if others on proboard have it then I guess you'll have to wait till proboards sorts this out. I'm on PC right now and would be afraid to check the forum on my mac ... I think it's mac related from the link below, but it is a problem that also has appeared on android phones. Here's a thread from 2020 on the issue: support.proboards.com/thread/665123/value-privacy-proboards-pop
You could try the forum on your phone see if the same thing happens I suppose, or blocking popups on safari but I didn't read that anyone with the problem has had the control to resolve the issue. Sorry for your trouble. H |

I was getting this yesterday (on iPad) but not today (on iPad), suspect it was Apple-related - but, whatever, it’s okay now

I am still getting the popup when I go to the forum, but not when I am moving from page to page.
This is happening on both my MacBook Pro OS Ventura 13.0.1, and my iPhone iOS 16.1.2
Proboards are working on it.

Regularly get this on PC so thought it was normal Cheers Absolutely not. I think it should only ever happen when you log in. I am permanently logged in so I rarely see it, apart from when I clear out all cookies and history. Now that I know it has been going on for a while I will keep on at Proboards support to fix it. So far they have been helpful and on the case. Shine On Michael |
