The redirects are still happening, cheat.

So I've been using adblock here for the past weeks (for obvious reasons), and after reading about the sandboxed iframes, I just now turned it and Disconnect off. Not even five minutes later, a new tab opens up to this site:

What gives?

How odd.

What browser (and version) are you using? The iframe doesn't allow redirects in the parent window, nor does it allow popups. If this is happening, I would wager either your browser doesn't support the sandbox attribute or you have some kind of infection on your computer already.

Make sure you enter your info in the pinned thread so I can show Sovrn. I'll also start looking for another advertiser, but we may have to look into donations at this point because a few of you guys can't catch a break with these...

My system isn't infected. I triple checked after the redirect to be sure, and nothing.

The timing of the redirect is too strange to not be related to the ads, though. If it was an issue with my system, why would it suddenly happen right after I disabled adblock?

Oh, and I'd definitely donate a bit. I think a lot of people would.

I haven't had any issues yet but I just got home to my Desktop and can actually browse the forum as often as I use to.
