Sadly you will occasionally due to the way ProBoards puts ads through. I recommend on android using Firefox with the adblock plus plug in.
It's what I use and I don't get any issues.

A couple of times I've tried replying to threads now and the forum has gone to an error screen and my reply disappeared. I'll try and grab a note of the message it shows when it does this next time.
I'm on Chrome, for my sins.

I'm getting a pop-up now which says: 'Web GL hit a snag'.
Buh?

Is that on your new PC? I get that too but on my android tablet. Clearing the cache seems to fix it.

Nothing on the ProBoards forum.
Are you using the stock android browser on the phone or Chrome?

completely bizarre and random question can you make the boards wider, theres a ton of white space either side on my monitor, im guessing its laid out this way to help on mobile/ipad etc but it just bugs me!

It's not to help mobile/ipad. They generally get responsive designs which will scale the side up depending on the size of the device's display.
The desktop version has a fixed setting, which I can change but I don't know the browser settings of everyone so it's kept at that size to ensure nobody has any issues browsing.
Using ctrl and + on your browser would make the forum larger, but also everything your are viewing in that browser bigger

In which case clearing the browser cache will get rid of the WebGL problem. It was either that or killing the process and restarting it that solved that for me.

No idea.
If it's on phones it's one of the ads, that will have code in it that someohow gets past proboards. If you are on a phone I recommend Firefox and have adblock plus on it. Stock phone browsers seem very susceptible to the adware.

Same here many times yesterday. Andu will advise us to use ad blocker in Mozilla. That's because Andu knows the cause of it. Proboards is an Ad supported service, the ads they get are on everyone's boards, and occasionally business of dubious standing or marketing companies who are douchebags will prepare ads that also have some buried code within that will react and when you try to load the board, if the ad is in rotation you will get nailed with whatever redirect or download is in place until ProBoards staff can catch the ad and sort it. Adblock plus on chrome/firefox is always the best way. Stock phone browser on android is next to useless to combat this, not sure about safari on iphone/pad. So if people followed Andu's advice, much of these shenanigans would not occur. He keeps saying it, because it is true and people obviously have not taken his advice. Andy |

But...I have tried again with adblocker and Firefox on the phone and have had the same problem as stated above. I now cannot access the forum at all on the phone without the ad trying to redirect me to malware.
No problems on laptop or Ipad.

You have a cached version of the webpage in your history, it will use that to help you load faster so you will be redirected anyway. |

Seems the spoiler title text doesn't work on the mobile site. It includes the text in the spoiler itself instead. I noticed this on the Thunderhoff post in the will pinwig thread.
