Random Redirects?
I noticed that sometimes when I click a topic I get redirected to a dating/porn site. Someone also told me they had the same problem. This only happens once in a while, but any link on the forum can redirect you.

Same here.
Doofenshmirtz: This is a little bit awkward but have you seen my escape jet keys? (Perry nods) What, you have? Well that's great! So where are they? (Perry looks away) You won't tell me? Is this because you don't speak or are you just being a jerk?

RE: Random Redirects?
You need to record these things in more detail - record the URL they link to, etc.

Oh look at how she listens... She says nothing of what she thinks.
She just goes stumbling through her memories staring out onto Grey Street.
But she thinks, "Hey... How did I come to this? I dreamed myself a million times around the world but I can't get out of this place."
There's an emptiness inside her and she'd do anything to fill it in.
And though its red blood bleeding from her now, it felt like cold blue ice in her heart.
When all the colors mix together to grey, and it breaks her heart...

How she wishes it was different... She prays to God almost every night.
And though she swears He doesn't listen, there's a hope in her that he just might.
She says "I pray! Oh, but they fall on deaf ears... Am I supposed to take it on myself to get out of this place?"

RE: Random Redirects?
Happened to me a few times. I usually get redirected to an IQ test site. Twice it happened to a different tab I had open, so idk if its just the forum or if its something from the forum or what.

EDIT: Fuckin shit it just happened after I posted.

PLEASE RECORD THE URL YOU ARE REDIRECTED TO AND TELL ME IT.
You're not listening to me.

Dazz, the last thing we have on mind when we are dealing with a sudden trojan/link hijacker is taking a screenshot. We must react fast or endure hours of headaches later. Tongue
Until now, "Antivirus 2009" was already identified and confirmed as one of the problems, though.

Happened to me a few times, one time I was redirected to a site saying that my "account was terminated because of complaints".

RE: Random Redirects?
Random redirects DO happen, once and while the same ad repeats -X- number of times. If it happens to me, it'd be reccomended to ignore it (the redirection) and hit the <- Back button and leave it alone until it becomes a major problem (More than 15 people get it).

RE: Random Redirects?
^Sometimes you have to push it a couple times because the ad was redirected by a redirect, like when you push back on View News Posts page and it goes to Searching for new Posts which brings you back to View New Posts.

RE: Random Redirects?
This has happened to me a few times just recently, and after reading this thread I remembered to grab the URL of the most recent redirect. I'm PMing it to you now, Dazz.

Edit: Nevermind, I was actually stupid enough to copy something else into the clipboard before pasting the URL into a PM. Embarassed Ahaha...I'll get the next one, sorry.

RE: Random Redirects?
Just get rid of the ads. They don't generate revenue or any things else in my point of view.

It's happened to me, but not on my home computer. Only the one at my parents' house.
