 Re Redirection
Hi been getting a lot of complaints from my users to say they are been redirected when they try to log on to my forum to a crash tv site which they are then instructed to pay for, is there any way someone could look into this for me.
Many Thanks

 Re: Re Redirection
Hi,
Do your users click anything before they get redirected to this website? Once redirected, have any of them taken a screenshot?

 Re: Re Redirection
Hello, Are they accidentally clicking an advert when trying to click a 'login' button, considering they are on mobile devices?

 Re: Re Redirection
I have the same issue.
Going to my fresh forum created for evaluation of your service I get REDIRECTED to a SPAM site. I assume you are not using gogo-girl ads here, but this is some sort of hack..?
You can see it by: - using iPhone - anonymous access - goto ifvpasweden.freeforums.org - instant redirect to spam
Obviously your service is unusable if you can't GUARANTEE that there are no xxx-ads or spam like this.
?
Regards

 Re: Re Redirection
Thanks for a quick reply.
In logged in mode I'm getting "normal" localized ads. Maybe this is your ads partner actually posting ads making these things happen?
Anyways, I'll hold back until the issue has been clarified.
thanks

 Re: Re Redirection
Looks like its three forums having the same problem. and still no further along with a solved problem, where is the support for this type of problems.
I seem to have lost all my members due to this bug in your system, nobody will come on the site due to the spam they are getting from your advertisements.
