Now on my windows PC, I'm using FireFox and something just popped up that a file has downloaded into my downloads folder. Sure enough, there is an HTML file in my DL Folder.

WTF Is going on Texags???? I think you've been hacked or compromised.

Staff,

Y'all have a real problem with compromised ads in the network. Might be time to look for a better provider.

Dump Safari as your browser. You won't have the problem with the Brave browser for iOS.

I am technically challenged, so can't link the picture - but received the following pop-up twice- both times on the Aggieland board in the coming/going thread.

Do you want to download "sync-pixel" on
"usync.ingage.tech"?

eta: just got it scrolling through ticket exchange and after opening this thread.

Seems no one wants to acknowledge this or answer as to why it is happening…

Threads reload pretty regularly for me. Not sure if it's an issue with my old iPad or texags itself. It's quite annoying.
