I keep getting redirected...

[Ayro]

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?

[HeavenlyQueen]

haha it might be the work of a spammer...just tell a global moderator ( werr )

[Ayro]

...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...    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

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?

[Xye]

  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 ^^

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
