Contributing Member Denise Posted January 12, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted January 12, 2013 This just happened to me as well. I was clicking from a Google search onto a thread on LW and got redirected. Had to shut down IE (eventually it let me) to get away from there. So it is still happening. Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted January 12, 2013 Moderator Report Posted January 12, 2013 We are addressing the problem with Google, the host and with the maker of the board software. I'll let everyone know something when I do. Our server and the board seem to be clean, but something is not going right, obviously. I hope to have answers soon.

Contributing Member Denise Posted January 12, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks Johanna. Interesting that it happened not from this site but in getting to this site from Google. Weird. (But I say that a lot when I talk about computers...) Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted January 13, 2013 Moderator Report Posted January 13, 2013 Okay- wear it out trying to get the bad page again- I don't think you will because I think I fixed it. Yay me! Well, I won't cheer myself until you folks tell me it's gone. ~J Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain

Contributing Member Denise Posted January 13, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted January 13, 2013 Yay you, Johanna!! I'm sure this took way too much of your time the last few days. Thanks for all you do around here. Is there anything those of us who have seen this need to do on our end to clear our computers or was it all on the Google side of things? Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted January 13, 2013 Moderator Report Posted January 13, 2013 It wasn't Google after all. It was an exploit in the forum software. Nobody's computer should be affected by this at all. Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted January 13, 2013 Ambassador Report Posted January 13, 2013 Johanna, the tinfoil hat has been welded to my glasses for a little over 4 years now. It's real hard to clean my glasses to be able to see what I'm doing as neither hat nor glasses will come off my head. I've been thinking of adding a few tinfoil antennas to add a bit of oomph to its powers.... Quote Beaverslayer Custom Leather<br />Wearable Works of Art https://www.facebook...erCustomLeather
