Having an odd issue where it's not letting me quick reply to threads. I'm not getting the reply box and if I click quote it takes me to the reply screen instead.

Seen it on a few threads now but suprisingly not this one.

Getting spammed with third party commercials when clicking on a new page or subject. Both on GOT and another forum using the same software

Points to it not being GOT then

I know - it's on a third forum as well, I just found out. Very annoying. Am I the only one experiencing this?

Scan with a virus checker and this https://www.malwarebytes.com/business/ ASAP

It sounds very much like a virus mate.

If you do suspect your iPad or iPhone may be infected with malware, don't panic! However, you should take no chances. Instead, just follow these instructions to wipe your gadget clean and start over with factory settings.

1. Use iCloud to back up your device and all personal data on it
2. Go to Settings > General > Reset
3. Tap “Erase All Content and Settings” to clear all apps and data from the device
4. Restart your iOS device and set it up again
5. Sign into iCloud when you set up your iOS device and restore your backed up data
6. If needed, download your apps again from the App Store

You can also attach your iPhone or iPad to your Mac and use the “Restore iPhone/iPad” button in iTunes to factory-reset the device. The key to these steps is they clear out all programs on your iOS device which may have been compromised, and replace them with fresh copies. Your data and files should all be preserved, though you might lose some application settings.

If you suspect that restoring your phone to factory settings didn't do the trick, then feel free to take the phone to Apple's Genius Bar. They have system-scanning software that detects and removes any hidden files.

Are you using something like tapatalk?

 

[AndyGray]

Thanks for the advice. I'm not using tapatalk and so far the restore seems to do the job. Thumbs up!

7. INSTALL SECURITY SOFTWARE ONTO YOUR SMARTPHONE (like Kaspersky, Symantec or the like)

Keeps dodgy apps off the phone.
