Re: *BOARD ERRORS - Oct. 29th UPDATE (2nd pg.)- PLEASE READ!

Post by April »

I have been having some major problems these past 2 days. I keep getting redirected to some lemode.mgz site when accessing threads, forums, and sometimes just by coming to the board. It appears to be some kind of bogus site that often features things like Good Housekeeping and Dr. Oz. I am not having this problem with other websites, and I have run a virus scan several times and it has turned up fine, so I don't think it is anything wrong on my end. It makes it very difficult to post and read here. I have just been noticing this issue the past 2 days, and when I researched it a bit, it seems that this has been a recent problem on some other forums, too.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Same here April. Just logged on and was redirect to a site with Oprah of all people.

And then I tried to correct an error made on this post and I was directed to Forbes & Goodhousekeeping.

Btw, I'm using my iPad at the moment, but I've seen this happen on my Macbook, PC at home and my PC at work as well.

Thank you for the heads up. I will notify Angel that some people are having issues.

Thankfully I have not had the issue since I posted this, though. All has been running normally for me now.

I'm still experiencing random site redirects but it's really random. Maybe every other visit or two?

I've only had it happen twice, it was in the same day one right after the other.

I was on my tablet, so I can't find the exact date, but it was last month (January).
