    Hello Everyone,

    has anyone noticed another website launches up when you try major geeks forum. I keep a website popping up in my firefox browser something about creating a brute lol.

    Its everytime i click on the forums nothing else on the major geeks site.

    Redirection Problem

    Hey All

    Not sure if anyone else is seeing this but I keep getting redirected to another site when I try to access the forum. I picked up an easy way to remedy this short term on another board, details below (this is copied as is and it not my solution):

    Hope it helps someone (although, you are unlikely to be able to see this if you are having the problem but it will help for next time).

    Re: Redirection Problem

    I tried the solution that you propose Mac but it wouldn't work. I managed to stop the redirections by blocking scripts from MG though. I hope someone takes care of this fast because our forum is basicaly cut-off right now. And everyone thinks their computer has malware.

    Nothing wrong with your PCs, it occurs to everyone. I was able to manage it using the "NoScript" addon for Firefox to prevent scripts from majorgeeks.com from being executed. As soon as the guys sort out the issue I will turn them back on.

    I've been there daily and never a problem and i don't have that no-scripts add-on, vanilla firefox, basically.

    The problem only lasted about 3 hours and then just stopped . If memory serves me right it stopped around the same time the situation in software was cleared up. That's why I thought it had something to do with it.

    It is working okay now .Must be some bad programming code.

    I know some sites you can get pop ups but redirections is bad .
