Title: Spam issues?
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 17, 2009, 11:10:48 AM: I don't know if I'm the only one getting these, but I tend to get a variety of different ones. Sometimes the page will randomly redirect to spam page; other times, it asks if I want to navigate away from this page; if I say "Cancel," it goes to a spam page (this even occurs going from an index to a topic or closing down the tab that includes this forum).

Am I the only one? Is it an issue with my computer because of the web browser, pop-up blockers or what? Or is it another issue Forumer seriously needs to iron out?

Post by: The Bamboo Forest on September 18, 2009, 09:12:00 PM: Bad news guys - it happened to me. A page of the five recurring ads I've been seeing today appeared when I manually typed in "phantomsden.6.forumer.com" into my URL box. I have no idea what it's about though, but I know that the URL still said "phantomsden.6.forumer.com" when the ad page came up.

That's just inexcusable.

They had better fix this or else... *Puts on temple guard mask and headdress*

As mean and unfair as that sounds, I have to agree. :roll:

Post by: The Bamboo Forest on September 20, 2009, 04:33:06 PM: Well, kindly enough, one of the guys in my wing gave me a 100000000000lb virus protection, so I think I'll be set and ready.

To be honest, though, I haven't got the problem ever since I got my computer protected. I have a feeling it's spyware or malware.

Post by: The Dark Enforcer on September 20, 2009, 07:55:27 PM: WTF!!!! It just happened to me as well. That's it!

Okay, if it happens again, then you all know what will happen!
