Forum Ad-redirects on reply button since Jan 31st 2017?

Hawk · January 31, 2017, 06:15:33 PM

@Piboso: When I click to reply on the forum I'm starting to get re-direct links to crappy website adverts? Any idea what's happening here?

I thought it maybe a left-over malware on my computer somewhere but I've done a full scan and yet this is still happening, so I can only presume it's a forum server issue?

This was the last website the reply button sent me to: NSFW link

NSFW tag needed there mate

I haven't had this issue by the way.

It just happened using Chrome! Darn!

Hmm.... very strange. I'll have to keep my eye on this.... BTW: It doesn't happen every time.

I'll report again if it continues for me.... as I say, I've done a malware scan so I can't imagine it's a leftover on my system causing it, but stranger things happen, right. Lol

Yup, I can confirm it's restricted to Chrome (Firefox no issue)

Luckily Malwarebytes flags the link before it re-directs.

Forum updated to version 2.0.13
Hopefully this will solve the problem $:-\$

PiBoSo · January 31, 2017, 06:38:48 PM

No more signs of the problem so far...

PiBoSo · January 31, 2017, 06:38:59 PM

One more try...

PiBoSo · January 31, 2017, 06:40:27 PM

Edited the OP message to remove the link

No more redirection so far...
