Getting redirected

[Walter White]

Sometimes it happens randomly. But I have adblocker on google chrome and it isn't even stopping it. I keep getting redirected to lemode-mgz.com. Anyone else? It just happened to me like 10 times in a row just trying to go to the main page of the forums and I'm surprised I even made it through to this point to post this thread.

You're not the only one. I've had that happen. Phills reported it in "Weird Things I Noticed" several days ago. We've reported it up the chain but don't have an answer yet.

consumernews247.com also popping up now.

Don't fix anything, I will now have an excuse when my wife catches me watching one legged midget Asian porn. "honey, it wasn't me, I was redirected"

 

[Simon]

It has been happening to me too.

Idk what happened but all the text turned white. I can't even see what I'm typing right now. Google or something sent up a screen that it was a phishing attempt from that webstie lemode-mgz and they were trying to steal information.

I'm getting this too whenever I try to go to certain areas of the website. For example, if I try to view page 3 in tonight's game thread, I get moved to an Ellen Degeneres website.

EDIT: I'm also being redirected to that lemode-mgz.com and that is a renowned phishing and malware site. If you keep getting sent there, I'd recommend not coming on RCF until a fix is in order, because that is a nasty website.

I haven't been able to reproduce this, although I have had this kind of problem in recent weeks.

Can you say anything more about this? What posts are you looking at (my page 3 could be different)? Does it happen with any browser? If you clear your cache does it happen? Any sort of info you could offer would help. I don't know if it's a problem with a post or if it's a problem with one of the ads in rotation.

I cannot get the third page of the GS game thread to load without getting redirected to that website. Any other time I get it, it's pretty random, although it luckily hasn't popped up in the last few minutes for me. I'm using Chrome, but I also went on IE and got the same problem, although not on the third page of that thread for whatever reason.

I've cleared my cache and I'm still getting it. Hope that helps.

I think the problem was a sketchy ad company. I've removed them from our rotation and that should fix it. If not let a mod know and he can contact me instantly.

 

[Stark]

Everything has been working perfect since then. Thanks Ben.

 

[TheAdmin]

I can assume that this issue has been resolved then?

 

[Chris]

Still doing it for me.

 

[TheAdmin]

How long are you guys online when this happens? Will help me narrow the search down.

It is pretty random for me. Sometimes it will work fine for awhile and then a random thread a click on will pop it up. Or sometimes I can click directly on the main page of the forum 20 times in a row and it will pop up every time.

It will definitely pop up within an hour though, for me at least. Sometimes within minutes.
