For some reason I keep getting redirected to some add, I'll click on a thread or something and all of the sudden I'm looking at dishwasher soap >:(
Has this been happening to anyone else or is it just me?
haha it might be the work of a spammer...just tell a global moderator ( werr )
...now its doing it without me clicking anything... so it must have to do with the website itself I doubt a spammer could pull this off.
i was about to reply and then i got redirected to a cruise site... @-@ okay so i was going to ask if u got any pm from anyone cuz when i first came i got a pm from a guest and it said that my computer was tracked with a virus and that i would be taken off the transcendence team if i didnt prove myself quick then it gave me a link. i never clicked it... *skip haha that seems like a really smart choice now haha well i knew xye never mentioned it and the sender was a guest with a creepy name so even tho it said security/gummybear blah blah blah i never clicked it. but somebody mightve and maybe thats what happened to the site. so yah i hope it gets better!
yea i got the virus message from that person too. never clicked the link o_o told xye about it and she deleted the person from the forum. yup.
but not getting any redirections though.
why not try running some anti-spyware program? like spybot or something. i used to have lots of popup problems. it got cured after spybot fixed it. not sure about redirections ><
here's the website for spybot download:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html)
it's free (:
hope this helps.
maybe we should like blacklist users who have been giving out these weird messages to warn others not to click on them. like a blacklist topic or sth. just a suggestion.

ooh thats a good suggestion. but maybe theyll just make another account... o.O so basically we should never open it unless its from xye or any staff that wye approved of rite?
??? hmm thats weird... does it only happen when you are here? I don get redirected ><;
As for the random pms. Yup ^^ don't open anything if its not from a Green, Red, Turquoise or Purple name (staff members).
I'll post it up on the annoucement so that new members could see it ^^
-Xye
I checked for malware, spyware, and virus'... nothing came up. And yes, its only THIS site that does it. Odd neh?
Anyway I didn't get that pm so it shouldn't have to do with that..
I'm so glad I came after this happened T_T
