Board is all sorts of broken at the moment...

More feedback from ad ops. If you are still having issues reply to this thread. 

IOS/Safari tend to be the ones we hear from the most with pop-ups or malvertising. Chrome is not immune either. However, I just enabled some extra ad quality scanning for mobile devices and it should put a stop to any of these redirect or popup ads preventing users from using the site. 

I activated this on huskermax & huskerboard at the moment. Let me know if you get any complaints after the top of the hour here. 12/Noon Eastern, 11am CST. 

 
@BigRedMax

The redirects/site crashing appear to have stopped for me on mobile, but will continue to test. (The malware popup was never an issue for me).

That said, I'm still getting this log in error each time I log in on iOS mobile. It doesn't really impact my site experience other than just telling me I have some sort of problem. I'm able to click the masthead and peruse the site at will. 

I typically browse in incognito mode and I use Keychain Access + Face ID to log myself in. Perhaps that's playing a role.

@BigRedMax just an FYI, the crashing issues have popped back up again on iOS in the last week or so. I'm unable to browse on mobile for any longer than a few minutes before experiencing crashes shown in the attached images.  It typically happens while reading through threads, but as shown in one of the screenshots, it also happened while looking at mod tools.

Here is the response from ad ops. 

The issue that user was experiencing does not appear to be malware related.  
The browser is crashing.  This article talks about some things he can try on the site:  https://blog.pcrisk.com/mac/12282-how-to-fix-a-problem-occurred-with-this-webpage-so-it-was-reloaded

Blocking ads was a test that could determine if the issue is ad related or something else.  If he had it blocked and went past admiral; if he got the error again, then we know something else is affecting him.  

 
The only way to get sound ads blocked is the click on the ad and send me the URL. 

All ads are supposed to be sound off but some agencies sneak these in every now and then.

“Popped back up”?  
 

It’s been an issue nonstop for months.

Same here.  It started again the same time for me as when you referenced.

Here is an article about the problem.

I have never been a fan of this BBS software and have not received any complaints from the XenForo BBS software and I handle complaints from multiple XenForo websites. 

I will bring this issue up again with our ad ops team on our weekly call tomorrow. The solution might be converting to XenForo.

I had another auto-audio playing ad just now. I couldn't find which one was doing it, but it said "Power Store" in it and by googling I'm assuming it's related to Dell. It was on a covid thread in the politics forum

Still having this same issue on iPhone.  The page reloads and then almost immediately crashes after @BigRedMax
