A.J. Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hey everyone - Lately when browsing the Theme Park Review forums on Mac OS X and iOS Safari, I've been getting randomly redirected to very suspicious websites. Is this a widespread or isolated issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arby Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I've not been having any issues like that on my PC or laptop, both running Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdngmikey Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I've been getting the same thing, when I go into the forums the screen goes black with the message "move mouse to continue" and then suddenly I'm at another site. The site I ended up at today didn't seem too bad, though using an inoucuous looking website is a great way to get spyware on your pc. I'm generally suspicious of any redirects, I don't run anti-virus on my pc and I still don't get viruses or malware. This is the only website that is currently doing this. *oh, and I am running Windows Vista using Google Chrome browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Been using this phone for a while now and have not seen anything like what's mentioned here so far.. Are you sure it's not something at your end? (PC/laptop)?? Have not seen this happen on my windows 7 laptop either.. Please make sure your workstation is malware/spyware free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molemaster43 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 This has happened to me as well on my Windows 8 desktop. If I just stay on the forum homepage for a bit, it will redirect to the "Move the Mouse to Continue" page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Funky. Will look into it tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I haven't seen any problems today but I have seen it before. PC was infected with malware. Usually something has hijacked your browser. Probably not the website or we would be having a few more complaints. I wonder if there is something posted here on the forum that when clicked on infects your PC?

arby Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 By the way, I was able to reproduce this behavior on my PC. I normally view the forums in Firefox which hasn't caused me any problems. I opened it in Internet Explorer 10 and it redirected for me to another page within a short period of time. Fortunately I happened to fire up a HTTP debugger before the redirect occurred so I collected some info. It wasn't much but I might have tracked down where the redirect is coming from. Feel free to contact me directly if you would like more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 We are having problems reproducing this. Where are you on the forum when this happens? On the index? Viewing a topic? Viewing a post, etc? Please let us know so we can track down to see if there is some code we need to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmullin Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 ^ It happened to me when I was on the Index page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterdoug Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 It just happened to me. I was on the forum index page for just a couple of seconds, when the screen suddenly turned black, with a large image of an arrow pointing down and some text saying something to the effect of "Move cursor down". This flashed only momentarily before I got redirected to bewiserinsurancesDOTcom (don't want to write the actual address). I'm using Safari on OS X, version 10.5.8. First time it's happened to me.

robbalvey Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Looks like we fixed it. Can you guys let me know if you see this re-direct thing happen again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanM64 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I was having problems last night with redirects on my Android phone, only noticed this thread just now, but I've had no trouble whatsoever today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 This has happened to me once. I don't remember the site as I quickly closed the page, but it occured when I clicked on the forums tab on the home page. I'm running Chrome on a Mac.
