So, as you know, Proboards requires there to be ads for the forum to be used freely. As an admin, I cannot use an adblocker without putting the forum at risk of being deleted. Also, members may receive messages about disabling their own adblocker for the forum from Proboards, so if you ever do receive such a message, then please disable it just for here so your account is not deleted!
**Anyone may contribute to have ads removed from the forum by clicking a link at the very bottom that says, "Click here to remove banner ads from this forum"**
For those not blocking ads:
If there is ever an ad that is annoying, you can report it! For example, if an ad auto-plays, then report it. It is against their rules for ads to play anything without you interacting with it first.
Take a screenshot, save the image, and then you can use something like imgur.com so you can have a link to send to support. Now, after you do that, just press CTRL, ALT, and R at the same time until you see a report tool come up over the ad you wish to report. You would then paste the link to the screenshot and describe why you are reporting it.
You can read about it here: support.proboards.com/thread/529880/annoying-auto-play-ads
I just did this myself for one about dog dental sticks. When reporting, be sure that you are reporting the exact ad that bothers you. The ones that auto-play are usually found near the bottom right, under the comment box when posting in threads. So, if you ever hear any noise randomly, then that could be the issue. Sorry for any inconveniences or annoyances!
