Admin, I keep getting redirected when in the Maker's Market

Admin

When i go into the makers market sub forum I keep getting redirected to an american web page that starts "lemode-mgz.com....."
it will happen about 5-6 times every time I click back and then it wont do it again for 10 minutes, then does it again 5-6 times and so on.

any clues?

Me too, and we thought it was my computer that was bugged somehow.

I'll flag this for Admin to see how to sort it out.

Thank you for letting us know, and I'll get back to you as soon as I know anything.

cheers,
Mary

Thought it was just me as well ~ I've spent hours trying to locate and shift files for that lemode-mgz virus ... no wonder I couldn't find hide nor hair on my machine!


It pops up, for me, in open threads ~ iirc, rather than Makers, usually in Other Chatter.

Must be a bad advert causing the problem.

I have read something similar, so not the forum and not a virus or spamware on a users PC.

The Admin team have been advised.

It happens when i go on the AirgunBBS too. They don't have adverts.

No but they do use Google Adsense which may well be the vector used.

IT's nothing to do with any of your computers or the site, it's purely an issue with google advertising, they're trying to fix it now and ongoing as there's often something that slips through and makes things a pain for site users, this one has been causing problems all over on many different sites, I've blocked this particular one so if any others crop up let me know and i'll try to block them on our side...

As I presumed, just a rouge advertiser on the ad network.

Avon lady?

 

[Toddy]

I want to know what cretin thought that a lady's Style magazine was appropriate for a bushcraft forum though
After all, our general idea of sartorial elegance is OD, with the occasional flecktarn and leather embellishments

Tony, Lemode mgz has just started popping up again uppy_dog . Previously it only flicked page from an open thread but these last couple have flicked out from New Posts irate::viking::sulkoff:

Oh, very good Mark

Definition of irony ... clicking to read a thread about an internet redirect virus and then having to repeatedly click back to get away from the increasingly problematic jump-away page




It's irksome at this end so hats off to Admin (and Mods), not the easiest stuff to deal with :notworthy

 

[lou1661]

It is happening on various threads for me now

[Tony]

how are things now?

Toddy, it's the same issue all over the web, there's loads of sites that are getting hit with the same magazine address...
