New tabs in Firefox and popups on iPad

Whilst using my forum on my PC with Firefox I get new tabs opening to game sites, dating sites and viruses.
If I browse my forum with my iPad I get pop ups for games (Jelly Splash seems to be the main one) and it occasionally opens the Apps Store.
Is anyone else having similar issues?

My devices are up to date and clean.

Edit: It's happening on here as well. I am using my ipad. Before loging in there was an advert for "Game Of War" next to the Welcome Box. Before I could login the App Store opened asking me to install "Game Of War" :(

The adverts on Zetaboards forums seem to be infested by spam. Earlier I completely reset my iPad. Look what has just popped up on this very forum :shock: ???

This is happening on my forum and a friends Invisonfree forum. I am getting popups on my Windows PC and my Linux PC. What on earth is going on?

I suggest opening a support ticket via your ACP. I think you will get a faster response that way.

Thanks 1days. I opened a ticket on the 19th but have had no response yet.

If I enable the AdBlock addon in Firefox the problem goes away on my PC but obviously not on the ipad. Not all of my members have an AdBlock nor should they need one because the Zetaboards FAQ states "No pop-ups or pop-unders are displayed".

I was thinking it is possible it's happening because of a bad code on your board but if it's happening on this board as well it might be something more. It happened to my board once but it came up as a Trojan virus was detected. After having a code removed it stopped.

Good luck on getting this fixed. I know how frustrating it is.
