Is anyone else being redirected to this website? [link removed]
It happened to me at work, and It's been happening about every half hour.
Anyone else getting this?

Yep... got that one and another when I came into the forum itself. Something strange going on, for sure.

Phew. I thought it was just me. I figured I needed to just clear out my cache and check for spyware or something. Glad I am not the only one having that happen to.

Scratch that. It seems to happen every 4-5 clicks today. I keep getting redirected to other ads. :mad:

Mine's some kind of candy thing.
***.
:/
It happens everytime I go somewhere in the forums, and then I have to go back a page to see where I originally wanted to go.
Annoying, much?

I 'm not having this problem at the moment, but in the past I got sent to an advertisers page and was not happy about it.
then i realized that just a "mouse over" sometimes expanded the ad to cover half of the page and even if i clicked the transparent part of the ad i was sent to their website.
try it again and make sure that the ad is not expanded :rolleyes:
might just work, if not, i tried.
EDIT: just tried the link in Yosei's siggy and after the page loaded, it redirected me to some purple ad for bubble gum or something. not the same as my ad work around.
NOTE: Yosei, would you mention to the CSR that it looks like some of the advertisers are using unwanted redirect codes? It was obviously a redirect because it only happened after the AD loaded in the page. I was able to browse the page until the ad loaded, then "POOF" i'm off to the ad site :D and i tried this like 4 times and got redirected 3/4 until the fourth came up with a different ad in the ad spot. thanks again Yosei :)
