Awesome board Rosie, love it.
I have noticed some stuff:
On a android phone it loads slow and sometimes crashes. Also, there may be some malware or whatever that wants you to download an app cleaner or something. I've also seen some weird stuff about I won a prize click here.
Just bringing to your attention.
Of course, GT,MH,and Sarc could get on this as well but they're likely drunk at the bar. Or golfing. Same thing.

Somebody else mentioned it somewhere, and the response was that their computer probably had a virus. But this is the only site I seem to get redirected from. |

This actually hijacks the Giants Board window to another address. The frustrating part is that you can't hit the back button, so you have to open a new window and type in the Giants Board address again (I know...first-world problems). |

I got a pop-up yesterday supposedly from Amazon that I won a prize and click here. Typically when I get those types of thing, I kill the browser session in task manager.

<----- IT Guy
IF you have not already install an adblocker. Since we all have been coming here I have not had a single issue. But I also block ads for all sites.
Adblock plus is a common one. Get it and enjoy.

I use my phone, My tablet, My Laptop and My desktop . I have not seen any of this.
If it were the site everyone would be having the same issues.
Install antivirus on your devices. . AdBlock only is a symptom mitigation not a problem resolution.

TEM- can you recommend a good antivirus for an android phone? I have Norton on all my devices. It is a pig and slows all my devices down a bit . It is a small price to pay. |

But he brought up antivirus which is also a real necessity in todays world. people having issues might already be infected and it is just manifesting itself on their visits to this board. my recommendation would be ESet. but the built in windows defender in win10 does an adequate job |

On my iPhone I have no issues either.

Redirects form a Site that is not a click farm are from the local device . It is usually Adware, Malware and or a Rootkit . Just stopping the redirect does not change what is causing it. The reason I suggested antivirus. You suggested AdBlock . I was pointing just stopping the redirect does not at all correct the root cause. I am in charge of IT security for a large financial firm. Now if someone in my staff said AdBlock is a way to fix an infected machine . I would have a problem with that. Some Adware, Malware seem to be a nuisance and benign also have key loggers , a shadow copiers. You know stuff that steals your important information. Just stopping a symptom is not what I would suggest. |

And I am an IT guy and my comp is not infected. Only seems to happen here intermittently. |

They are fun, especially when the VTEC starts calling. Mine is basically stock, with the black and red interior, less than 20k miles. This one has rarely seen rain. Post some pictures. Love to see them.

Wow, that interior is pretty rare down here, I’ve only seen one in person with those colors. I love it. Mine is an 2001 with 74k, bought it with only 32k on the clock back in 2014. Needless to say, I drove the crap out of it for 3 years, now I only drive it to work on Saturdays. Ive been building these cars for a living since 2001, I know them inside and out, if you every have questions feel free to message me. |

Hey Rosie-
When I try to quote someone's post and they've quoted someone else, if I try deleting the other post that's not relevant the poster's name still stays, and it makes it seem as if they said the quote.
here I'll do it in the next post:
