    Just a heads up to the powers that be / Mods I am not sure if other people are having this issue but each time I come on this site and ONLY THIS SITE I am getting hit with Virus warnings and other BS Windows that I am NOT clicking on. I am not sure if anything can be done or if this is happening to anyone else but it is VERY annoying and constant

    Maybe you want to move this to the MAIN thread so people see it and you get some more input ?????

    That has been an ongoing issue on the phone for me and many others for a while (which is why I use the unfortunate TapaTalk app on the phone, even though I hate it), but I've never had a problem on a PC (Windows or Mac). I know that doesn't help, but at least as of this moment I'm not seeing anything on my Windows 7 machine.

    It has happened to me today as well. It's a redirect from one of the ads. I'll see what I can do.

    I was redirected to a URL that starts with `kaffiyeh1.website`

    Is that what's been happening to you as well?

    This happens to me too, but only on my phone when I'm not using the app.

    I have a different issue. Every now and then, I get duplicate posts after entering one. Happens with both Firefox and Chrome. Maybe my settings should be tweaked?

    UGH just a heads up Petro and others as I am getting hit with things just about every time I try and log onto the site----> I don't know if its happening on other devices as I usually use my Mac nowadays. Again it only happens on THIS SITE = They want me to download the latest flash player or this or that all BS and annoying. Anything that you guys can do about this ? Anyone else having these issues ?

    I am here pretty much every day now and I haven't seen it happen in at least a week or two. It used to redirect me to another site at least once a day (some rogue ad I suspect) but, like I said, it hasn't happened in a while. I am on a Mac, using mostly Chrome, occasionally Firefox or Brave Browser.
