The report has been noted. I've seen this happen before, but not lately.

Got this thought it was an approved forum ad but must be a redirect

I thought that was my imagination. Seeing it wasn't the correct porn site, I closed it immediately.

This site has Wizard of Porn videos. Maybe it should be a sponsor here.

I just went to my IPad and got another redirect to porn. Neither my windows or Apple delivered a warning.

Does that mean it�s at the server level whatever this site is hosted at?

they manage their own ads i think so yes i would assume someone has injected some kind of code into a post somewhere IMO

a post that has code in it but we as users cant see it but still renders code

its calls cross site scripting or XSS

I stupidly clicked on your link you should warn us there's gay sex there. Please tell me you found this site by accident and you don't watch this stuff.

As far as this redirect, all you have to do is land on www.wizardofvegas.com and you might be sent to

There was a pop up re-direct
goadvs
that was making the rounds in the mid 2010s. I ran software like malwarebytes, Avast, the admin for sites I was visiting examined every file never could find the cause. Then, as mysteriously as the viral phenomenon appeared, it faded.

I believe they use cookies at pornhub to determine your preferences.

When I click the link I get videos of straight sex. Funny you got gay porn. Snicker Snicker chuckle chuckle.

So where would the malware re-direct take you if it were sent from this page?

It was actually a mixture, was mostly straight sex with some gay thrown in. You got the same page I did cookies do not determine that.

WARNING: Knock off the discussions, slurs and accusations regarding sexual preferences; and stop posting links to pornhub or other pornographic sites. I have removed the pornhub link posted by DRich which violated Rule#6. I note that EvenBob made a post questioning whether DR was gay, and DarkOz made a post questioning whether EvenBob was gay. These two posts were in violation of Rule#19 and quite possibly Rule#1. At the moment, I'm leaving this as a warning, but the moderators may elect to hand out suspensions after review.

Thought it was a one-time thing but got redirected again. I assume this thing, if automated was set to trigger on a weekend because of less chance of working personnel on hand to address it.

I have a hunch it will keep happening until a fix is announced.

It's not just you; I caught a glimpse of something trying to redirect me just now.

I just got the "risky" website warning. I closed that window, tried again, and it was the WoV as usual.

The big boss is aware of the problem. He has very good technical people on the payroll. My advice is don't panic. If you get anything strange when you try to load the site, close that window and try again. At least that is my advice for those accessing the site by personal computer.

It was all in jest Gordon, it was all in good fun. I can see where you need a rule if somebody is seriously accusing somebody else of being gay, but if you're doing it to each other joking around that's totally different. Has this place really gotten that strict that moderators want to suspend some of the most prolific posters for joking around with each other?

Just wait for the coaches challenges where we each have to prove what we said, when we knew about it and then get suspended anyway because we were supposedly guilty anyhow.

I didn't even look at it, all I did was Googled Wizard of Porn and that site came up.
