Forum Glitches? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was just redirected to:

http://96h4xfchcbf6iklvmlly3mp51654e...com/index2.php

From clicking on "Active Topics" from my usercp. Firefox 26.0 running on Windows 7.

Okay, it just happened to me as well (been on the 'Downs couple of times since this was reported here, but had no idea what it was about until today). It happened after I tried to go to the Books subforum from the main forum page. With this variety among people to whom this has happened, I sincerely doubt it has anything to do with our own computers. I was using Google Chrome on Windows Vista, for that matter.

Thanks for the info, guys. I agree with Legate that whatever's going on seems to be happening on our side. The Barrow-wight is the Master of the Server, so he'll have to be summoned/roused before we can resolve the issue.

Just to give more info: I was redirected to some site that seemed to purport to be selling german shepherds...I say seemed because McAfee stopped my browser from going there.

This happened when I logged in.

I am using Firefox with Windows 7.
