META: Site Problems - Being Taken to External Sites
Is anyone else having an issue with clicking on a topic and it taking you to another website? I have no issues on any site, but this one. It just started this afternoon too. I was on during my lunch break and everything was perfectly fine. Now anytime I try to click a topic, it takes me to an external site.
Edit: To be more specific this is the link it was sending me to - http://pluto.tv/watch/late-night-tv?utm_campaign=reg-brand-pu&utm_sourc…

Yeah I tried this excuse with my wife too. It didn't work.
August 28th, 2015 at 5:53 PM ^
My wife isn't even home and they're not sites that even related to that. As I said, this is literally the only site that is doing it. Also when I signed on I noticed there was a small gap between the banner and the rest of the forum that was a different shade of blue. It looked like someone had been trying to code something. That's the only reason why I asked if anyone else was having the issue. I wouldn't have even said anything, but I can't read a single forum topic.

No need to be ashamed for looking at porn. Everyone does it - even wives, sometimes.
Just the other day, my wife came up behind me while I was watching Slut Wars, Episode X - Return of the Bukkaki and caught the climactic scene (so to speak) before I shut down my browser.

Maybe you should ask the NSA why they are messing with your computer and IP address.
August 28th, 2015 at 10:16 PM ^
Same here, I've had the same issues and noticed the different shade blue bar. So far I only get redirected from my Android device, but it's concerning given the past virus that got in through an ad here a few years back.

Hello, Comcast? Is that you?

No problems over here. Also for everyone else don't go to the URL in the OP. I'm assuming it's some type of malware.
August 28th, 2015 at 6:03 PM ^
but only on my phone.
August 28th, 2015 at 6:32 PM ^
This ^^^
On my phone I'm occasionally taken from this site directly to the Apple App Store.

is it just me or does the search function on the site just completely not work everytime? it takes me to an error screen.
August 28th, 2015 at 6:19 PM ^
search function hasn't been working for at least half a year or so now.
While we are on it, can we get the side bar links cleaned up. Let's get rid of the 'recruting planet' link and replace it with the wolverine247sports link.
August 28th, 2015 at 6:12 PM ^
Yes, i'm having this issue on my phone.

Yes. You must be signed in, and then you can either go directly with what you typed or just go the upper left under your screen name hit the "Recent post."
What was nice it there is a tab on top of that list of recent posts for YOUR recent posts. For those who comment a lot it was a nice way to keep track of recent activity of threads that they had commented on, but it hasn't worked for a while.

I've never had this happen in either Chrome or Firefox on the laptop, but I've been taken to the iTunes store (and other places - not porn, not yet anyway) when reading the blog on my iPad.
As for some items mentioned upthread - clearing the cache (which I sometimes forget to do) managed to mysteriously fix the search function, although it is still occasionally buggy. If it gives 404 errors even after some memory clearance, then I am not sure what it might be. The paging buttons seem to work during lower traffic moments (early morning, later evening on a non-event night), but otherwise you basically have to open a new tab to see the next page.

August 28th, 2015 at 10:18 PM ^
Constantly on android, to the point where I don't even want to try to get on here with my phone.

I also have this issue on my phone. Android/Chrome.
I really wish Brian would just hire a pro to re-do the whole site. Have a fundraiser for it if need be, though shouldn't be that costly.
